Did you try to correct the issue using the IABot Management Interface? All that is required is a Wikipedia user account.

False positive and negative detections are inevitable in any link checking system, but the Management Interface allows every user to update and thereby refine the database the bot uses.

OT question is it possible to translate the IABot Management Interface page to swedish? I have seen other solutions that also had a tool for translating a solution...?

I feel the tool will be better received if Swedish Wikipedia could report problems on a page in Swedish

@Salgo60 Yes, the IABot interface is translated via Translatewiki. It seems that the Swedish translation is complete, though.

Thanks and how to activate Swedish?!?!? I guess the URL that is written in the discussion page of the Swedish Wiki should by default make the page be shown in Swedish.....

I tried change my language settings https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/index.php?page=userpreferences with no result.....

If I switch to the Swedish Wikipedia using the drop-down in the upper right hand corner, I get the Interface in Swedish:

Thanks Now I get Swedish!!!! but also a message

Incomplete translation: Sorry, but the language you have picked hasn't been fully translated yet. Feel free to help with translations by going to TranslateWiki. In the meantime, untranslated parts of this page will be using the English language.

but if I check on TranslateWiki everything is translated any logic about this?

Yes, that seems wrong, the message is there for German as well. I opened T196705.

Has there been any progress regarding the fact that InternetArchiveBot changes links that actually work? That's the first issue. The second issue is that the code {{cbignore}} obviously doesn't do what it was supposed to do.

Hi, and sorry for the delayed response. The reason why {{cbignore}} does nothing on svwiki is because the templates didn't exist when IABot was deployed there and thus never added in the configuration. I have done that now, so it should start having an effect on IABot soon. As for changing the archive link, which is what I assume you are referring to, it is normalizing it, but I don't understand why it's using a different date. That's clearly a bug and should not be happening. The current workaround for this is to either use Cbignore, or change the archive in IABot Management Interface to the snapshot you want to use.

Also as for the original question as to whether or not you left the report in the right place, the answer is yes, you did. Phabricator is the official bug reporting tool of the WMF. All Wikipedia bugs are reported here, and major Wikipedia bot operators, like me also reside here as Phabricator makes it really easy for the maintainer to keep track of the bug reports.

The whole purpose of the bug report page on my tool is to make filing the bug report correctly on Phabricator easy. Once you have your account, you stay logged in.

Thanks for the feedback I forwarded your feedback to the Swedish discussion about the bot....

Wow. I was unaware that such a discussion was happening. What is it about?

Well, I guess all that's left in this ticket is to establish why the bot replaced the archive URL with something else.
