Periodic GIGO report

edit

Could the bot check for single-bracket errors like what it encountered here ({{WikiProject Northern Ireland}), and skip those pages and periodically produce a report for manual review? There is no way for {{WPBS}} to find the output from that error, as the template/module are never invoked, and the code simply treated as plain text. I was lucky to spot it only because I happened to be adding {{WP Northern Ireland}} to pages.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk â‹…dgaf)  22:26, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I will try to list these problem pages in Wikipedia:WPBS syntax error pages. Kanashimi (talk) 01:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
FYI Cewbot added 2 pages today, but the edit summary says "202 page(s)"?   ~ Tom.Reding (talk â‹…dgaf)  14:00, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Should we clear the page ourselves when completed, or leave it for Cewbot to update, or it doesn't matter?   ~ Tom.Reding (talk â‹…dgaf)  14:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
The robot will be updated automatically. Kanashimi (talk) 14:58, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Kanashimi,

I just thought I'd check how you were doing, and also ask if Cewbot was having any issues. I noticed it hasn't updated the vital article lists or the database report since Nov 6.

If there is an issue, definitely don't feel like you have to rush anything; you already do a lot for us. Things do gradually fall out of sync without Cewbot, but we should still be able to keep working at VA for at least a few weeks more before it causes major problems.

Also, I haven't forgotten that I offered to try making another bot to share the workload with Cewbot (and you as maintainer). I want to finish some data-crunching I promised for other editors first, but I still intend to program something in the coming months. If there's anything smaller I can do in the meantime, just let me know. -- Zar2gar1 (talk) 14:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the heads up. I checked, the bot was running every day, but there was a problem due to a recent code change. Now it should work fine. Kanashimi (talk) 21:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
