Problem: converting cn to fact

On List of Eagle Scouts (Boy Scouts of America), this bot changed changed {{cnote}} to {{Factote}} diff. I presume you are attempting to convert {{cn}} to {{Fact}}— it looks like you need a bit of refinement here. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 22:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legobot II changing mergeto tag

Resolved

– disabled converting mergeto

Please have a look at this, the bot is not supposed to change the date and it even destroys the entire tag. MassimoAr (talk) 21:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've had the exact same problem here. Please fix your bot. Xasodfuih (talk) 06:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Improper film project tag

Resolved

– Not the bots fault.

This bot has added The Premature Burial to the film wikiproject twice now. As the article is about a short story, I don't see why the article should be in a film project. I will continue to revert these edits unless there's something I'm missing. --Midnightdreary (talk) 03:08, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is also adding the film tag to television serials such as Paradise Postponed and Brideshead Revisited (TV serial)‎. These are not films and should not be tagged for the film wikiproject. Please check this task and adjust the bot so that it does not make these errors. Thank you for your time. MarnetteD | Talk 19:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, all of those articles have the category 0000 films, so bring that up at WP:FILM, since they requested the tagging here. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 02:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually none of these articles have any film category tag. Why is it the bot operators always balme someome else for there bots failings. The fact that they haven't been retagged since our requests here shows that something else has been aken into consideration. MarnetteD | Talk 09:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You just removed the categories [1] [2] [3]. If someone else adds the wrong categories to the articles, it isn't the bots fault. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 01:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category watchlist

Resolved

Hi there. I was wondering if your bot could generate a watchlist for WP:OH similar to a task it already does? Currently our page (here) is updated whenever I remember to and an automated update would be very nice. Would this be possible? Thanks, §hep ^Talk 01:51, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move of Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images

Resolved

I think that Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images should be moved to Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files. However, this can only be done together with making sure the bot knows to edit the new page. Can you (the bot's operator) please handle this? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing date and birth tags

I've been working on a list of unmarked articles about living people, looking to add Category:Living people where needed, and I came across this edit. I haven't been sure how to handle articles where there is little information and it is not clear whether the person is still alive or not. I've erred on the side of caution and added the living people category unless they are over 90. But in cases where the birth year is missing as well, it is difficult. There should really be a Category:Current status unknown for those people who are long-retired and have dropped out of the public eye. But I was wondering if you (or rather your owner!) would have any insights into this. Have there been discussions on how to handle this sort of thing? I also came across a fair number of pages where the year of birth was missing, so maybe your bot needs to be run again? Carcharoth (talk) 15:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the bot does is add date=April 2009 to a template like {{cleanup}}. It has nothing to do with categories. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 04:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bug

See this diff where Legobot is not functioning properly. Debresser (talk) 11:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed The error is a MediaWiki parsing error (mw:Magic words), but I have put safeguards in so that if it does happen like that, the bot will fix it. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 02:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey!

Resolved

– not a bug

Legobot, why did you change the infobox template on the Afro-Asian Games? Plese see to it that the infobox is back like it was, otherwise it looks REALLY silly, as the motto is given as 96, and website is given as 2000+.

Please change it as soon as possible.

Protection templates

The last 24 hours I have noticed this bot doing some useless things with protection templates. Is this a new area of activity for this bot? Please respond on my talk page (at least with a {{Talkback}}). Debresser (talk) 10:50, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting Smackbot changes

I noticed this at Copthorne, West Sussex. User:Smackbot made these changes. otherplaces3 template moved to the top and Mid Sussex template moved above the categories.

Proposed deletion of List of characters in anime and manga who can fly

The article List of characters in anime and manga who can fly has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

List is overly broad in scope with no value and lacks context. Fails WP:SALAT.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Farix (t | c) 20:59, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of holding cells

Legobot seems to have stopped adding holding cells over at WP:PUF. I have to manually update it every once in a while (because I tend to forget). Just wondering when the bot will be back up adding the holding cells? — ξ ^xplicit 03:24, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of List of characters in anime and manga who can fly

I have nominated List of characters in anime and manga who can fly, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in anime and manga who can fly. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Fix your improper page move: Pseudo-Anosov map

Please go fix your improper move here:

Legobot (talk | contribs) m (3,992 bytes) (moved Pseudo-Anosov map to Pseudo–Anosov map: Bot: Moving page per WP:ENDASH) (undo)

Don't be falsely claiming this is in accordance with WP:ENDASH. Either that, or fill us in on the contributions of Dr. Pseudo to this concept. It should be a hyphen, plain and simple.

Might be something to take a look at

See Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard#General notice to bot owners about edit summaries.

Outdated when dealing with PUF

Legobot is currently editing and adding daily entries over Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files. However, it's adding pages from two weeks ago, instead of one week ago.

How is removing a link to an article's past deletion discussion from the talk page helpful?

Task 20: Redirect CSD tagging

Just an FYI, but the task is a bit redundant to this page already updated by another bot: Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken redirects. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:35, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is actually where the bot gets its information from. The BRFA has more information about how the bot works and the original request behind it. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 06:42, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay, I didn't read the BRFA that carefully. I missed the line that said that it picks it up from the list. I read the original request and I'm okay with it, but I don't quite see the urgency of clearing these things out. There being a backlog doesn't seem to be that big of a deal, but that's just my opinion.

On a different topic, I do see the discussion about having a custom CSD tag template for it, and I'm good with that, too, but one minor thing is that it breaks the automatic fill in of the deletion reason for the deleting admin. With the regular template, the reason is set to "G8: Redirect to a deleted or non-existent page", while your bot gives this "G8:". The picky admin in me has to reselect the deletion reason in the popup menu. I do see that there is a "bot" flag with {{db-redirnone}}, but the message is a little different and doesn't include a warning to the admin. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:59, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way we can modify the CSD template to include the full reason? Or does that need to be modified in a user-script like Twinkle? Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 00:12, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nyttend let me know that he has fixed the template so it should provide the proper reason. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 02:25, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find the Instructions for adding this Bot to a talk page that I want to archive...

Please tell me where the Instructions are so I can start adding this Bot to Talk pages that I am archiving. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 15:31, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those instructions are still accurate, and should start indexing. I had planned on creating a new set of instructions for the new features, however I haven't had the time to do that yet.

Has-NFUR

Howdy. I recently noticed this edit. That then led me to here. It probably isn't a big deal, but wouldn't it have more appropriate to use the |file has rationale=yes as mentioned at the top of the TfD for ogg files instead of what was used?--Rockfang (talk) 23:46, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, thats a good point. I think it would make more sense to tag everything as file since all images are technically files as well. In the end it really won't make a difference (besides the 1 character) since once tagged users will rarely check it. I'm adjusting it right now to simply add |file has rationale=yes.

Hi,

I have noticed a problem on Talk:List of Unified Modeling Language tools with your edit. It seems that the user has not been taken into account. Regards. Ftiercel (talk) 18:09, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bug: literal insertion of "subst" tokens

In this edit, Legobot added today's datestamp to a template, but somehow the {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} was added literally. The "subst" of the magic word (to insert the actual current month name) was performed later by another bot. During the intervening time, the actual wikicode markup is visible to readers. And if the second bot is delayed or doesn't happen (and some person edits this area later), the subst winds up inserting "current" for when the subst is finally done rather than "current" for when the CURRENTMONTHNAME word was added. DMacks (talk) 01:52, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. This happens because you cant subst: things within ref tags. I've been tracking bugzilla:2700 for at least 4 years now. I'll code up a work-around right now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 02:08, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding of Category:Anime series to articles

Ah, that makes sense. I'm not sure how complicated it would be, but could it sort them into the subcategories by decade based on the existing year categories (such as Category:1984 anime)? That would be more effective than filling the parent category. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:10, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. Shouldn't all animes be in Category:Anime series? Should the year be used for sorting? Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 06:59, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Legobot recreated a deleted page

Legobot recreated the page Value enhancement with this edit. Seems like a run of the mill edit conflict. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's a really rare occurrence. Not much I can do there since it was a split-second kind of thing. The bot grabs the text, process it (usually under 2 seconds) then puts the page again. Thanks for letting me know about it though, Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 19:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
