Regarding the OrphanReferenceFixer and TagDater, please note:

  • AnomieBOT is not an anti-vandal bot, so complaints about AnomieBOT "hiding" or not reverting vandalism are out of place here.
  • AnomieBOT's current strategy is "wait 10 minutes to an hour or so to let ClueBot, VoABotII, other anti-vandal bots, or RC Patrollers fix the vandalism". I am open to specific suggestions on detecting vandalism, but keep in mind that the false positive rate of any method must be near zero to be useful.
  • AnomieBOT honors {{inuse}}; please use it if you have excessive edit conflicts.
  • If the reference errors or undated tags were caused by vandalism, just revert AnomieBOT's edits along with the vandal's. AnomieBOT will not be offended.
  • If AnomieBOT made a mistake in correcting a reference error or dating a tag, please correct the error by hand and report the URL of the problem diff below. Don't just revert the bot without fixing the error, or AnomieBOT is likely to "fix" it again in the same broken way before I get a chance to fix the bug.
  • If you have a problem with T11790, please take the issue up there. You will be having the problem with more than just AnomieBOT's edits.

Thank you.

Regarding deletions, please note:

  • If you are here because you think AnomieBOT III deleted an article, please check again. AnomieBOT III deletes redirects when someone else deletes the article the redirect pointed to, and you almost certainly want to talk to that person instead.

Regarding {{tl|old AfD multi}}, please note:
colspan="3" class="mbox-text"|

  • If you are here because AnomieBOT added {{tl|old AfD multi}} to an article when the old AfD was about a different person with the same name, just remove it. The bot has no way to tell whether it's the same person or a different one.

EnDashRedirectCreator: Possible edit warring on [[:2025-26 Lao League 1]]

In the past 30 days, there appear to have been 3 reverts on {{-r|1=2025-26 Lao League 1}}. This suggests that vandalism or edit warring of some sort may be occurring (there or on {{-r|1=2025–26 Lao League 1}}). A human should look into it. When you have fixed this issue, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. I will repost the notice if the page is still broken or is re-broken. Thanks! AnomieBOT 08:14, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

:The problem here is that {{-r|2025–26 Lao League 1}} is a redirect that is currently at RfD (see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 March 5#2025–26 Lao League 1), but {{user|Ohhah555}} has (twice) improperly removed the RfD notice. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:34, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

:: Three times now. I partially blocked them from that redirect. Hopefully they don't escalate. Anomie 11:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks

AnomieBOT needs a restart

Every task is showing as "pod missing". * Pppery * it has begun... 02:56, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

: Restarted. Probably it was due to the [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud-announce@lists.wikimedia.org/message/KSPJ2E55TF4PSQZG2U7HJ3HLYXZJ42GR/ NFS restart after yesterday's network maintenance], that sort of thing usually makes AnomieBOT die. Anomie 12:34, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

This article has been tagged as a previously deleted article. The person concerned was a peace campaigner. The article previously deleted was a porn star. Roundtheworld (talk) 19:53, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

CFDClerk: [[Template:Cfd top]] is broken - fixed

Help! The template {{tl|cfd top}} contains unknown parameters. To avoid confusion, I'm not going to process any CFDs until it's fixed or I'm fixed. When you have fixed this issue, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. I will repost the notice if the page is still broken or is re-broken. Thanks! AnomieBOT 04:06, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{tpw}} I presume that the cause was {{diff|Template:Cfd top|prev|1284024637|this edit}} made earlier today by {{user|HouseBlaster}}. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:: The edit makes sense, I'll update the bot to be ok with {{{result|{{{1}}}}}}. Anomie 11:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Suggesting potential changes to COIREQTable

Hi Anomie, I'm Bill Beutler from Beutler Ink. My colleagues and I use the COI edit request process to request content changes on behalf of clients, and I’ve been thinking through a few ways we might improve the overall infrastructure—specifically the COIREQTable generated by AnomieBOT.

I’m currently preparing a more detailed proposal, but before sharing the full thing I wanted to give you a quick heads-up and invite any early thoughts. The idea involves modifying Template:Edit COI to include new fields (like a brief request summary and status) that would better serve reviewers. Naturally, those changes would also impact how AnomieBOT pulls and displays data in COIREQTable.

I’ve reached out to Primefac as well, since they’ve maintained the template and would be key to any changes there. If you prefer, I can coordinate the full discussion, but wanted to start the conversation early to give you a chance to offer any guidance you may have.

Looking forward to sharing more soon—and thanks as always for the work you do to keep things running smoothly. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 13:34, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

: I'm not inclined to change how AnomieBOT fetches the requested edit data. If the community wants additional fields, the data would need to be encoded in the urn links. Anomie 11:52, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for the fast reply! I appreciate the suggestion about how to go about it. I'll have a think, and aim to post my thoughts to the "Edit COI" template next week. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 14:09, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Bot error

With [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beryl_Reid&diff=next&oldid=1285697057 this] edit, AnomieBOT for some reason added a user-oriented warning template about contributing to Wikipedia in English. Matt Deres (talk) 01:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{Re|Matt Deres}} {{tps}} The error was in the previous edit, where an IP replaced {{tl|Use British English}} with an incorrect usage of {{tl|Use English}}. The bot merely expanded the template, it did not choose it. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:46, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

::Ah - that makes more sense - thank you. Matt Deres (talk) 13:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Bot needs restart

Several of the tasks are showing as "error" or "pod missing" on https://anomiebot.toolforge.org/. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:18, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

About the translation issues of Xi Hua gate

Could you tell me where the translation issue lies with the specific paragraphs of Xi Hua Gate? I will correct them one by one. Guoying1 (talk) 14:34, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

: {{Tq|If you are here because you think AnomieBOT added {{tl|citation needed}} or another maintenance tag to an article, please check again. AnomieBOT only added the current date to a maintenance tag added by another editor in a previous edit.}}. Ask {{u|Dclemens1971}} instead. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:15, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::@Guoying1 Much of it is non-standard English (including non-standard puncutation). There are numerous non sequiturs that appear to derive from the conceptual differences between Chinese and English paragraph/sentence structure. I don't speak Chinese so I cannot say what the correct translation should be, only that I recognize this translation has not resulted in readable standard English. I cannot list all the specific issues because the full text requires attention from someone who is fully bilingual. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:19, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
