It appears User:ChzzBot II already clears out WP:Sandbox on a regular basis ({{diff|Wikipedia:Sandbox|425919965|425919136|see the most recent one as of today}}). Why do we need a second bot to do the same thing? —SW— ^gossip 05:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

:What's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karzzzz_%28film%29&action=historysubmit&diff=429019004&oldid=427922850 this] edit all about? The bot says it removed a link to [http://new.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B1%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9C_(%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D_%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A8%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE) this page], which does not exist, so it was removed due to the cleanup option being on. However, the actual link that was removed pointed to [http://new.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%BC_(%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D_%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A8%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE) this page], which does exist, and therefore should not have been removed. Also, it changed the hi link to point to a non existent page, [http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B1%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9C_(%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A8_%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0) here], whereas it previously pointed to an existing page (and presumable correct) [http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%BC_(%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A8_%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0) here]. Can you explain this please? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:32, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

::I have a feeling that this is related to [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3081100&group_id=93107&atid=603138 this SourceForge issue], because I'm using a Python 2.7 version, after the warning showed up also while using a Python 2.6 version, so I gave up using Python 2.6.x. If I need to, I can switch back to a previous Python version, and try again. —mc10 (t/c) 22:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

:::So, um... is it fixed? What version were you using when you made the edit I linked to above? What version are you using now? What version of pywikipedia are you using? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 21:43, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

::::I was using the newest Python 2.7 version. I've been using the pywikipedia from svn trunk usually (I sometimes get a bit lazy and forget to update my version). I'm going to install Python 2.6 as well when I start my bot again. —mc10 (t/c) 22:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

:::::So is it fixed then? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 11:01, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

{{tlp|OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} Any progress? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

:It has been fixed; I have switched to Python 2.6. —mc10 (t/c) 02:58, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

:::{{tlp|OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} it's been a month since the trial extension - and almost 2 months since this bot has edited, is this request still active? SQL^{Query me!} 07:52, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

::::I'll get to it right now; I was out of town and unable to run pywikipedia. —mc10 (t/c) 18:01, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

:::::{{BotTrialComplete}} I have 51 edits, if I counted correctly. —mc10 (t/c) 01:59, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

{{BotApproved}} Edits look fine. Usual pywiki. Keep an eye occasionally for -cleanup to not mess up. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 06:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
