ListeriaBot gone mad today across several wikis
Closed, InvalidPublicBUG REPORT

Description

ListeriaBot is deleting information and doing wrong (and random) editions in lists across several Wikipedias and subjects - which discards that it's just a disruptive edition of Wikidata that breaks the queries.

Since a few hours ago, ListeriaBot is doing incorrect editions. Most of its contributions in several Wikipedias (I've checked cawiki, eswiki and frwiki) seem to be deleting large parts of lists, and in automated lists with row templates it is getting the fields wrong. The errors seem to be at random, because when manually clicking on the update button it generates a different random list - I mean a list from the same query but with a lot of missing elements.

I suspect something has changed in the bot script about 13:00 CEST.

And it can be seen that near all contributions reduce article size by large amounts since a few hours. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Contribucions/ListeriaBot https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Contribuciones/ListeriaBot https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Contributions/ListeriaBot

Event Timeline

Hi, per "Technical support" on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Listeria this needs to be reported at https://github.com/magnusmanske/listeria_rs/issues instead, as the Listeria maintainer(s) do not use Wikimedia Phabricator to track work or issues.

I also did https://github.com/magnusmanske/listeria_rs/issues/121 but I wasn't sure if it was the best way for an urgent issue.

Anyway, thank you.
