Description

Hello,

Commons deletion notification bot stopped on Arabic Wikipedia since 2 months, please see User:Community Tech bot edits on arwiki here (last edit on 09:55, 5 October 2020).

The bot deployed on arwiki on T257108 by @MusikAnimal

Event Timeline

Sorry for the late response. At quick glance I'm not sure why it decided to stop working. The bot is editing fine on other wikis, including sr.wikipedia.org, which we deployed to sometime after deploying to ar.wikipedia. Investigation is pending.

@MusikAnimal I wanted to check in on this ticket -- is it okay to close it?

The issue still stands. I never got around to investigating, completely forgot (sorry!). We should investigate. Is it okay if we put this on our Kanban board? I for sure won't forget about it then :)

MusikAnimal changed the subtype of this task from "Task" to "Bug Report".

@MusikAnimal Yes! It's been moved over. How many points?

It's a bug and we're not sure what's causing it, so it's difficult to estimate. I'm investigating now, hopefully it's something simple.

MusikAnimal added a subscriber: Meno25.

And it is something simple! @alaa AbuseFilter 123 is showing warnings to the bot, which effectively blocks all edits: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchUser=Community+Tech+bot You will need to either grant the bot flag to the account or modify/disable the filter. Also pinging filter author @Meno25. Sorry I didn't think to check the abuselog sooner!

I guess this shouldn't really be classified as a bug. It's expected behaviour.

Oh! I'm sorry too that I didn't check the Af log!

Bot flag granted!

Thanks @MusikAnimal, I'll close this task after "Community Tech bot" make new edit(s) -until now last edit on 5 October 2020-.

Seems to be editing again! https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/خاص:مساهمات/Community_Tech_bot I'll wait for @alaa to confirm everything looks good.

Yes, thanks. The bot made 150 edits on 12 May 2021.

Thanks @MusikAnimal, please close this ticket.
