IA Bot on SqWiki

Hello, Cyber! I hope you're having a good time in 2020! The IA Bot has been deactivated in SqWiki for more than 2 months now. Maybe since I gave you that bug report. Is this intentional from your part? In its management interface it says it is active but it hasn't made a single edit since October 2019. - Klein Muçi (talk) 11:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It would appear the pre-emptive archiving is enabled on your wiki. This means IABot is attempting to save URLs not found in the Wayback Machine. This significantly slows down the process as it works it's way through the articles. It's possible it just hasn't needed to do anything yet, as it does appear to be working.—CYBERPOWER (Happy 2020) 13:48, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. I found it strange since I think new articles should have been made in the 2 months period and I thought this would have "forced" the bot to make some edits during that period. Is there any way I can test if the bot is still working or not? Also, have you had any luck with that bug/mistranslation detail we talked about the last time? It would be good that when the bot actually does "come to life", it comes error-free. - Klein Muçi (talk) 15:00, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want to let you know that the bot has restarted wroking from 2 days ago. Now that bug/translation detail is the only problem remaining. - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:24, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cyber! I've unfortunately found another problem with the IA Bot. See here. The first sentence at the last section. It puts {oldarchive} (as a word) and not the old archive's link itself like it does with the new archive's one. Maybe you've given me an old/wrong message to translate for Modified archive message item:. - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:39, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cyber! How's it going? It's been over a month I've been waiting for a response about some issues with IABot so I guess you're busy this time of the year. I hope you haven't forgotten about what I've written above. I also wanted to talk with you about another problem I'm having these days with the bot. What is happening in pages like this and how do I stop it? It's been going on on quite some pages now. - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:27, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

InternetArchiveBot's handling of "bare" dead urls

(Example) My initial concern was that the longer url stretches the infobox horizontally, but then I had deeper thoughts:

Generally speaking, a "piped" url <ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/SOMETIMESTAMP/http://original.url/somepage.html http://original.url/somepage.html]</ref> would be a visually superior replacement when something like <ref>http://original.url/somepage.html</ref> has gone dead. But only because fetching the page title and/or converting to {{cite web}} or whatever is probably way beyond the scope of this bot.

However urls in the |website= parameter of an infobox (or anything marked as {{official website}} in the external links section) are kind of a special case, because here (unlike the ref example above) the url does not point to key information—it is the key information. We don't care about this website's content, as we aren't using it to support any particular statement. The only statement being made is what this person/corporation/band/etc.'s current web address is. When those go dead, it would be reasonable to conclude that:

A. The subject of an article no longer has a website, or:

B. His/her/its/their website has moved to some address.

In either case a dead url becomes factually inaccurate in this context, and showing what it looked like several years ago would be useless. I think it would be preferable for the bot to delete these outright, rather than worrying about how to format their archive.org urls. ―cobaltcigs 09:46, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Book talk missing title and missing end tag for italics, small, bold errors

Un-archived discussion with new comment:

Cyberpower678: You deleted the following discussion without taking action. The last time, you ultimately did solve the problem, and I'm confident you will solve this one also. Please do not remove this discussion from your talk page without at least acknowledging. I don't want to go through a long cycle of dredging it up from the page history over and over, like last time. (I have edited my previous comment slightly, mainly inserting several missing right parentheses.) —Anomalocaris (talk) 05:14, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are messing up italics and titles in Book talk articles.

And similar errors that I haven't fixed at Lint errors: Missing end tag in the Book talk namespace. Please deal with these errors, or at least point how to generate the list of "source code" pages and how to edit them to make the problem go away. —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:32, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anomalocaris, I'm not deleting discussions, they just get archived by a bot. I took a quick look at this issue, but nothing sticks out this time, so I will need to find a moment to investigate this.—CYBERPOWER (Trick or Treat) 22:47, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been a month, so I'm reminding you to find a moment to investigate this. —Anomalocaris (talk) 07:50, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anomalocaris, thank you for the reminder.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 18:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please find a moment to investigate this. —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:52, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dying domain

Hello there! Sorry to bother you, I just want to ask your kind attention in connection with phab:T242241. The site is going to die on 1st of March. I would be very thankful for your help. Regards, Bencemac (talk) 09:57, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tried counting and enwiki Special link search returned 60,000 then stopped working. The number links is very large. Unfortunately, IABot can only easily fix when entire domains are dead. In this case https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/* is dead but https://www.sports-reference.com/ is still live so it is a mix. The olympics URLs will need to be set to global live state = "dead" on a per-URL basis (in the IABot database). I have a program that can do this. Then we tell IABot to run on all articles with the domain and it should add the archives for those with live state dead. @Bencemac:, ca you copy this thread to WP:URLREQ so there is a record of the request and I will pick it up from there. -- GreenC 19:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thank you! Bencemac (talk) 18:37, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
