Wayback is no good, as it redirects to the active Webarchive template. You need to use something like WebCite or Memento.

Fixed in beta10.

Fixed beta10.

@TheDragonFire any news?

Unfortunately, if TemplateData is updated, I need to be informed as it's an expensive process so I have to actually run the import manually. I've done that now.

Thanks! I've fixed it (I didn't know the bot uses TemplateData)

The point is that, when a job is suspended, it blocks the worker. In other words, the worker goes to sleep. Which means if you suspended 5 active jobs, the queue will become inactive.

I think I found it. The TemplateData doesn't have access-date listed as an alias of that parameter. Thus the bot doesn't use it.

Waiting for beta10

Fixed in beta10.

There's a reason why job queues are still accessible even if the bot is disabled. It allows for controlled tests.

Pausing the workers blocks other wikis as a result.

This involves the CheckIfDead tool.

Do you have more recent examples?

That default text is just an empty placeholder. It renders as an empty parameter on wiki.

Yes. This is a 2 for one ticket. The second isn't ready yet.

Thanks!

There is one more problem: for some reason the IABot interface adds another "accessdate" parameter while there already exists "access-date" parameter. It should remove the latter one (diff). How can we fix this?

Do you have any recent edits of this?

Done.

Bot is approved.

Bot is approved.

I'll see to getting this fixed in beta10.

Did you change it for the default map on dewiki, or specific to InternetQuelle?

Done btw.

Then, do a test run (under the bot account) on some 10-50 entries until you’re certain everything goes well (bots with a single function, like interwiki, should not run more than 25 edits). If the edits are minor (as most bot-performed tasks should be), please mark the edits as minor so that they do not swamp the Recent Changes list. If all goes well, post a request for bot status at the votes page.

Sorry for the confusion, yes this is correct (I have not been through the process).

I noticed that User:InternetArchiveBot already exists. The approval vote form mentions links to example edits, I think most editors would want to see some edits before they cast a vote, and this is explicitly mentioned in the vote template. Would it be possible to run it on a few entries first?

Bot is ready for a trial. Approval request filed.

Well that's in the signature, and Google Translate did not offer Cantonese.

It's probably hitting a captcha since it's missing the bot flag. I haven't seen any activity at my BRFA request.

You're missing 1500 of the 6000 required edits to become an admin. I've gone ahead and manually added the bit to your account, as I doubt you will be irresponsible with the privileges.

https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/index.php?page=metainfo will tell you what you need to be auto-granted adminship on the tool.

It looks like you're not listed as an admin on the interface.

That's the UI language. The bot is available there. You might as well set the UI to English, not to be confused with the English Wikipedia.

I also got

Permission error

The action you are trying to perform requires the configurewiki permission.

This permission is obtainable with the following groups: admin, root

Perhaps the user list hasn't been sync'ed up yet?

You can actually make the changes yourself by going to https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/index.php?page=wikiconfig&wiki=zh_yuewiki if you're a sysop on that wiki.

That makes sense. I will review the TemplateData of the citation templates later today to ensure that all variants for the parameters in galician are included on them, following that logic this should help to prevent the second point I raised.

Template parameters are slightly more difficult to manage in that regard as IABot reads the template data of every template and generates an internal map for its use. If the English params aren't in there to begin with, it will never know that they exist as options until programmed in. :-)

Question. Is the bot approved? If not, where do I got to file for approval?

If it's about the capitalization of the months, I'm already on it.

It appears to be functioning correctly.

@Cyberpower678 Will you please explain how these messages get used:

{{Cite Americana|title={title}|url={url}}} (100%)
Cite Catholic Encylopedia was removed.

Fixed in beta7.

They're not pre-programmed patterns. The bot uses an algorithm to try and determine the pattern.

I for one think it makes it a whole lot more readable when the values are lined up like that. The issue I see here is that the UTF-8 chars consume more bytes thus throwing the string length counter off when aligning them. The bot will be moving over to Citoid config values in the future for determining default formatting. To explain what happens, when the bot detects a multiline template with inconsistent spacing for each value, it will default to "multiline-pretty" and just make the template more readable in the wiki text as it can't tell how to space it. If it notices a consistent pattern, it will try to use that and bring the rest of that template to use that spacing style.
