This user is NOT a human

This is the combined talk page for ClueBot NG and ClueBot III. These users are automated computer programs and are not humans. Please be aware that bots cannot think like a human and cannot operate outside of their programming. Messages you leave on this talk page will not be answered by a bot – either a bot operator or another human will answer you.

False positives and false negatives

If you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.
If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor.

Why is it not working?[edit]

Why are my talk page archives not working?

User talk:BottleOfSoup #ClueBot

I've tried a few different sets of instructions, but still, nothing is being archived.

I tried also adding one at the top of the page in case that was the problem, but still nothing is being archived.

(talk page stalker) @BottleOfSoup: Your latest attempt should work, I think, but the bot may take 24 or 48 hours to get round to it, as it doesn't monitor the archiving requests continuously. I believe the archiving parameters have to be placed before the first ==Level two heading== on the page, so your previous attempts may have been too far down. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:03, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, ClueBot III has not archived any pages since 5 April. DanCherek (talk) 23:59, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BottleOfSoup: @DanCherek: As noted on a thread below, it's been restarted and should get round to you in due course. Remember to {{ping}} me and/or DamianZaremba in order to get our attention if something is broken - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rich Smith @DanCherek oh, so it wasn't me, it was the bot? I just assumed I had done it wrong. BottleOfSoup (talk) 09:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ClueBot Commons @DanCherek @John of Reading @Rich Smith

Now I think I've made a mess. It suddenly worked when I'd removed the code. Now nothing quite connects. Help? BottleOfSoup (talk) 07:43, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per User:ClueBot III:

For archives organized by date enter:

|archiveprefix=User talk:ClueBot Commons/Archives/

For numbered archives enter (note /Archive instead of /Archives/):

|archiveprefix=User talk:ClueBot Commons/Archive

You put: User talk:BottleOfSoup/Archive, and it archived to User talk:BottleOfSoup/Archive2024/April, so it did exactly what you asked it to do - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 14:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not Archiving my User talk page[edit]

Hi! I added the {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis}} to my User Talk page 2 days ago. But, still nothing has been Archived. I'd like to know if there's anything wrong with the Parameters I added; and, how to fix them. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 15:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears ClueBot III hasn't been doing a lot of anything for about a week now - see the above thread and Special:Contributions/ClueBot III (pinging DamianZaremba and Rich Smith). Aidan9382 _(talk) 15:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aidan9382: thanks for the ping. @Vestrian24Bio: ClueBot III has been prodded (restarted) and should get round to your page in due course - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:25, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Thanks 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 16:32, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. BottleOfSoup (talk) 09:53, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ClueBot III Bug[edit]

Hi :) I just noticed what seemed to be a bug in ClueBot III when it archived my talk page earlier. (Pinging @Rich Smith & @DamianZaremba as mentioned in previous threads).

I have my talk page set to archive the oldest threads when my talk page is over 100,000 bytes. The first two sections have a long {{subst:DNAU}} set (so they shouldn't yet be archived). However, in Special:Diff/1218970544, ClueBot III archived several threads from my talk page, including the two with an active DNAU flag.

My ClueBot ArchiveThis code is below:

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis
|age=175320
|archivenow=[removed because ClueBot detected them and archived this thread]
|archiveprefix=User talk:A smart kitten/Archive
|format= %%i
|header=<nowiki>{{automatic archive navigator}}</nowiki>
|maxarchsize=100000
|maxkeepbytes=100000
|minkeepthreads=10
|numberstart=1
}}

Let me know if you need any more info. All the best. ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 08:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI looks like the {{Archive now}} templates above might be causing this thread to be archived by the bot even though they're in a code block. --Nintendofan885^{T&Cs apply} 18:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up :) I’ve swapped them out for a placeholder. All the best ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 06:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
