User talk:Anomie
Anomie is still around, mostly to maintain AnomieBOT. But after the WMF proved that office politics are more important to them than seemingly anything else, and otherwise generally seem more concerned with their own image than substance, Anomie is not engaging in technical work on MediaWiki. |
![]() | Despite T360488 asking them not to, Toolforge admins have gone ahead and broken AnomieBOT's scripts. Keeping things running properly will likely require manual intervention until they fix that or give me a usable workaround. |
![]() | If you want AnomieBOT to do something, please ask at User talk:AnomieBOT. Thanks. |
Editor experience invitation
Hi Anomie :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:56, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Bot approval help needed
Why is Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BsoykaBot 3 just being ignored for weeks now? Can you advise or expedite? Dicklyon (talk) 16:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- There aren't a whole lot of BAGgers active at the moment. I don't know why the ones active haven't done anything with it yet. Anomie⚔ 18:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Can you take a look, or advise who I should bug next? Dicklyon (talk) 20:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have time to look into that one at the moment. Anomie⚔ 21:01, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!
Substitution of templates prior to deletion
Can you set the bot to not subst templates in their own namespace. If a template is ever undeleted, the docs, testcases etc will be broken.
Many thanks. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 22:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC).
Bot late to create FFD logs?
We've gotten one user Kys5g creating FFD logs before your AnomieBOT recently because your bot seems apparently late to create FFD logs automatically. What can you do about the bot and that user? George Ho (talk) 20:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- AnomieBOT does not appear to have been late, when I check the logs it's first checking the new day's page at 23:00 UTC the day before as usual, just in time for the new day to start (see for example the creation of Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 22). Kys5g for some reason created Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 23 at 09:07 UTC the day before, Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 24 at 10:55 UTC the day before, Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 25 at 12:15 UTC the day before, and Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 26 at 03:17 UTC the day before. And he did Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 27 and Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 May 28 at the same time, several days early.As for what can I do about the user, I can ping him and ask why he's creating them so much ahead of time. I see you already tried at User talk:Kys5g#Creating of FFD logs but got a somewhat confused response. I also see on his user page that he has a "This user comes from Vietnam" user box, so perhaps part of it is that he's thinking in UTC+07:00 time? Although he's still been doing it early even for that timezone. Anomie⚔ 23:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
