[edit] MiszaBots didn't run after February 16, 2012
Where can I read about the reasons why MiszaBot III stopped working? I would love to continue archiving my talk page... — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Seconded. I hope this isn't because the toolserver admins have locked your account per inactivity :\ -FASTILY (TALK) 09:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thirded. My talk page is starting to clutter with stuff from the 13th of February.—cyberpower (Chat)(WP Edits: 517,651,212) 13:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- I've made a request on Anomie's talk page so hopefully help is on its way.

From what I can see from here, MiszaBot II isn't archiving threads since 17 February 2012. Um, is there something that happened? Whenaxis talk · contribs | DR goes to Wikimania! 02:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Issue with Wikinews Importer Bot
Please see n:Wikinews:Water_cooler/miscellaneous#Wikinews_Importer_Bot. Any ideas? :) — Cirt (talk) 19:20, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm...looks like someone's bot machine went down. I believe this would be related to the thread above. Should we write Misza13 an email?
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 01:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- It may also be due to the fact that the Botoperator hasn't edited since May 2011. Its likely that the operators toolserver account expired. --Kumioko (talk) 01:54, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- What needs to be done now?
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 01:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- If that is indeed the problem, then you should drop a note at Bot requests (or ask one of the bag folks like Anomie. They can verify if my theory is correct and work on finding replacement operators for the bots. I would o it myself but I am strongly considering walking away from teh project myself after a series of unfortunate recent events. Good luck. --Kumioko (talk) 02:09, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Misza13! Just noticed that User:DrTrigonBot is able to do the same as your bot... ;)) Just wanted to inform you. Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 17:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Bots down & stuff
Posting Jimbo-style, on my own talk page. I'm sure I have enough stalkers that will crosspost this to the multiple relevant forums that've sprung up.
Yes, bots are down. Yes, they run off cron on Toolserver's nightshade (which is currently down without a clear ETA on fixing).
I will run them manually off willow when I get back from work (which is about 8 hours from now) and will do so until nightshade is back up. I don't want to set them up in cron on willow, because once nightshade does go back up, I'm afraid of the terrible mess that could ensue with multiple copies of bots running concurrently.
From other news... No, I'm not dead. Yes, I am inactive in the sense that I don't edit. I do, however check my email regularly and this talk page every few days, so it might take a brief while for me to react. I do react, however, when it's brought to my attention that my bots are bugging out. I might not necessarily reply (I'm known for fixing stuff stealthily without telling anyone) and please don't take offense in that. No, I do not develop my bots further simply because of lack of time/changed life priorities. —Миша13 08:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- Good to hear everything's okey with you, glad to hear the bots will run from willow till it's fixed. Cheers, Snowolf How can I help? 14:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, good to know you are well. Thank you for helping.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 15:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Any chance you could run the bot that runs on simple.wiki as well? Probably not as critical as the ones here but if you have time that would be cool as well. -DJSasso (talk) 00:42, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
It seems to have stopped again. The latest edits were at
—WWoods (talk) 16:12, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- Is anyone working to get the Nightshade server back up and running or alternately replacing it? That seems to be the best solution.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 16:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- My bots are down as well :( Kaldari (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Its last edit was 29 August 2011, with no edits during Sep/Oct or apparently subsequent months. The code is still present in the current version of the page at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers, and the counter was incremented on 23 July 2011. I'm unfamiliar with auto-archiving, so does anyone else have any idea what's wrong please? Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 15:47, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- You did a good job reporting; helped me immediately find the problem. The talk page was moved on Aug 31 but the archives all match the older name. Those in this thread goofed except Vadmium for not realizing the problem. Since the source page and target page mask do not match, the bot rightfully won't archive the page. The fix involves moving the 135+ pages to the correct format and then correcting the mask. Alternatively, the target mask could be changed and the counter incremented to allow archiving to a page 136 but there would be a break in format consistency. I'm not sure if indexer bots could work with that or not.
- Wwoods, would a merge work to correct this? Is there a better fix than what I've recommended. I'm wondering if something in the admin tools might help with this problem.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 19:52, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
-
- I just updated the bot to match the 'new' name, and came back to drop a note![1] I also moved Archive 135 to match.
- The indexerbot doesn't seem to be there, but it can handle multiple masks.

- Thank you; that should work.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 20:35, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 Thank you to all involved in resolving this. I hope no other MoS discussions have been similarly affected. -- Trevj (talk) 08:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- ...And it's working! Since the page hadn't been archive for so long, I extended the deadline from 14 to 30 days, but feel free to reset that; the page is still rather long. —WWoods (talk) 01:47, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] MiszaBot II does not honour <pre> sections
Hi. In this edit at WT:NJ, the bot archived a portion of a post due to not recognizing the <pre> tag use. Can you change the parser to recognize this? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 18:36, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Rekwest for hilp
Hi, Me bozo. Wantz to arkive page Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard for 60 dai peryud and ohn uzer tawk page with Miszbot III but not sher how to do it exactly. John Carter (talk) 21:51, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Archive pages not rolling over
Hello (sigh) again. My talk-page threads are archiving (which I appreciate), but the current archive is getting pretty big (my maxarchivesize is the default 70K and it's up to 81K). I removed the noredlinks parameter from my {{talk archive navigation}} archiveheader; was that the problem, or is it something else? Thanks again and all the best, Miniapolis (talk) 00:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm? It says here that Archive #7 is only 26k at the moment. But if you want, just manually change counter from 7 to 8.
- —WWoods (talk) 05:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yikes, I was looking at the wrong number (the file size instead of the wiki text). Thanks and all the best, Miniapolis (talk) 16:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
It hasn't run since February 27... Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 17:50, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- Same with MizBot III. Dreadstar ☥ 16:21, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- And User:MiszaBot I. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- I'd like to say the same. The archive for my talk page is not working. I looked through the FAQ and it does not seem to be related to any problem given there. Its getting clogged, could someone look into it? Thanks. X.One SOS 15:51, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently, the toolserver (nightshade) that runs the bot's cron jobs is down with a hardware problem, Toolserver status, a missing disk. Per the update here. Dreadstar ☥ 20:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- And a couple of problems with nightshade's designated backup, willow, [2][3]. Dreadstar ☥ 20:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Some other bots are running, e.g. AnomieBOT, ClueBot, SineBot. What's the difference? And, can Miszabot be moved, or whatever? —WWoods (talk) 05:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- It's now up, but what happened here? Possibly fixed by this [4].Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- The bot really doesn't like it if you start a line with a space.
- "The bot expects to see only one parameter per line. The closing }} must be on its own line. There must be no leading spaces before the pipes. If you drop out the newlines used in the above example, e.g. by wrapping the template invocation onto a single line, the bot may not do what you expect."
- We'll see what happens tomorrow. —WWoods (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Miszabot up ... then down again?
It ran yesterday/today
What happened? —WWoods (talk) 21:15, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- See above section for details. Nightshade is still down, and I'm still running them manually, i.e. irregularly. Again, I want to first remove the jobs from nightshade's cron (and I need it to go up again for that) before I switch everything over to cronsub (to avoid a scenario where two crons run copies of the same bot simultaneously). —Миша13 07:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Out of curiosity, what's the worst-case scenario if two copies of the same bot ran simultaneously? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

- (lurking in the area) Yes, easily. It's a screen grab from this ident, so it's not just the words "BBC One" in fancy font or something equally simple. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:59, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
