bot needs some work
See this edit wherein the bot removed the obviously bogus |last1=Magazine|first1=Smithsonian but did not renumber |last2=Nalewicki|first2=Jennifer which causes the rendered citation to show an error.

- @Trappist the monk: Thanks for letting me know. There are several other articles where the bot caused the same issue and added the article to Category:CS1 errors: missing name. I've stopped the bot while I ponder how to resolve this issue. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 03:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Trappist the monk: I have added a rule to the bot to properly change the
|last2=/|first2=to|last1=/|first1=, and fixed all the errors my bot made over the last 2 days. I am restarting the bot now. Thank you again for reporting this issue! GoingBatty (talk) 14:29, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Wikiproject Artsakh
Bot is adding wikiproject Artsakh to loads of irrelevant articles such as this and this, please consider fixing it. Salazar the terrible (talk) 11:56, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Salazar the terrible: Hi there! The bot has completed its work per this request by Sawyer-mcdonell. If you guys decide the categories whose articles should not have been tagged, I will revert those edits. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 19:24, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- thanks for tagging me. i requested that all articles in the category tree for Category:Nagorno-Karabakh have that project banner added, as everything in there should be within the scope of the wikiproject. i agree that those articles shouldn't have that project banner. please feel free to remove the project banner & category if applicable; i will be working on that as well. thanks Salazar the terrible for alerting to this Sawyer-mcdonell (talk) 19:35, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
bot blanking pages without edit summary?
@GoingBatty: In this diff, the bot blanked a page without an edit summary. I could not find a task relevant to blanking pages, but I'm not sure if the edit should be undone. Can you look into this? Thanks. Rusty4321 talk contributions 23:29, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Rusty4321: Thanks for letting me know about this issue. You're right - I have no task relevant to blanking pages, and am happy the edit has been reverted. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 02:20, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
