Two manifestations have been noticed for the time being:

  • The parameters for archiving are not injected into the parameter sequence of the cite series templates. (like this)
  • The "archive address" (archive-url, archiveurl) and "archive date" (archive-date, archivedate) in the parameter sequence of the cite series templates were not recognized, regardless of whether there is a hyphen in the middle. (like this)

Is it due to some robot code updates or control interface adjustments?

https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration&diff=prev&oldid=82481555 appears to have broken the bot's ability to read the CS1 configuration.

@Shizhao Would you be able to roll that edit back for the time being?
