Just a note that this has been running for a few days now, there just apparently haven't been any copyvios yet. Once there are, https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/ar should magically start working.

Is there any expected time when https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/ar will work? as until now (after 7 days) still give 404 Page Not Found: "The page you are looking for could not be found.

1 - Numbers must be non-Hindi Appearance of the eastern arabic numerals on Arabic wikimedia Commons but Western Arabic

Per this (@Meno25 comment) this task not easily actionable now, as changing wgTranslateNumerals value to false on Commons or WikiSpecies will cause MediaWiki to stop translating all languages (Arabic, Hindi, etc.), which will inconvenience other communities. Even removing $digitTransformTable table from MessagesAr.php will lead to problems on Arabic Websites (outside Wikimedia) that use Eastern Arabic numerals.

And/or do you mean that the text should be right-aligned, instead of left aligned?
If so, could you please paste (as text) both a sentence with wrong word order, and the same sentence with correct word order?
Could you please paste (as text) what the current wrong overlapping text, and how the text should correctly look like?

explain clearly what exactly is "disorganized and overlapping", so non-Arabic speakers can understand what the problem is, and what you expect to happen instead. Thanks.

Well that didn't take long: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/50662771
Everything looks correct to me. Can you confirm, @alanajjar? We're happy to continue monitoring if you feel it's necessary. I'm not too worried about the bot making duplicate posts or the like, as we haven't seen this problem on other wikis.

@alanajjar Apologies for the long wait! This has now been deployed. We will be keeping an eye on Special:Contribs/Community Tech bot. Let us know if something looks off, or if the bot failed to edit when you think it should have.
