GA submission not listed by Legobot

Hi Legoktm. Yesterday I submitted Morning/Evening for GA review, but it has not appeared at WP:GAN#Albums. Did I do something wrong? Thanks! — sparklism hey! 09:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Legobot hasn't made an update in 24 hours

Legoktm, I realize that this could be a false alarm, but it's extremely unusual that no updates at all are made in a 24 hour period: no nominations, no new reviews, no holds, passes, or failures. So, if you can, please take a look and make sure that Legobot is still working, and doesn't need to be requeued or the like. Many thanks, and sorry for bothering you. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:50, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: No worries :) It looks like this was caused by [14] where cron was broken on tool labs. Can you confirm that it's working again? The logs on the server look like it's running again. Legoktm (talk) 02:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Legoktm, the GAN updates were out for about 48 hours, and came back at 17:27 UTC on December 10 (its update before that was 18:21 UTC on December 8), and I can confirm that it has been working ever since. Oddly, if you look at Legobot's contributions, it was working during that time doing other jobs, but not the ones related to the GAN page. So it doesn't need to be requeued, it's just that its GA-related tasks were non-functional for over 47 hours. There were definitely reviews started and new nominations submitted in this period—quite a few showed up on the first successful update (and a few disappeared as well), several of which were dated December 9, indicating that this was an actual outage and not a highly unusual dry spell.
Incidentally, I've been wondering why, when someone replaces a "GA nominee" template with a "FailedGA" on an article's talk page, the bot invariably calls this "Maintenance" rather than "Failed [article name]". I've done a few myself, so I know that I'm doing the steps according to WP:GANI instructions, yet the bot doesn't seem to characterize this properly in the edit summary. Is there anything you can do to get the bot to give an accurate summary? (The same thing can happen when the "GA nominee" is supplanted by the "GA" template, indicating that the nomination passed.) Please let me know whether you think this is fixable. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
The same is basically true for "Passed [article name]"; the last time "Passed" appeared in an edit summary was November 1, and there have been dozens of articles listed since then. Any ideas of how to get the bot to give a more accurate edit summary? I'm still hoping for a reply on this issue. Thanks in advance. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:37, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
And new info: Legobot hasn't added a "Good article" icon to any articles since November 1. It could be that some change around that time broken this functionality as well as the "Passed" functionality. I know that some articles have recently sat for days before the GA icon is manually added, so the bot has had time to add them even though it hasn't. Can you please look into it and report back? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:17, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Legoktm, I have removed my name from Wikipedia:Feedback request service nearly a month ago, but I am still getting RfC updates from Legobot on my talk page. I am not much active on Wikipedia or I am not commenting on RfCs anymore, so how I can stop these messages from bot. Thanks. --Human3015TALK  19:44, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

There have also been posts at User talk:Legobot#Bot persistence problem (originally Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 421#RFC Bot Won't Quit) and Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#Legobot. The bot also ignores {{bots|deny=Legobot}}. It has posted many times to User talk:Aparslet since [15]. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:22, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I left a note at WT:RFC describing a problem with the wikilinks from WP:RFC/A to an RfC, and would very much appreciate it if you could please take a look. Thank you. Hugh (talk) 05:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information, and specifically to the OTRS system.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information by way of the OTRS system and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum@wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

If you wish to stop receiving these notices, you may remove yourself from this list. Please note that doing so will not prevent you from losing OTRS rights and access after the 31 December 2015 deadline.

Thank you,

Problem: RFC in Flow

I really should have thought of this sooner, but Legobot never processed an RFC that's running inside Flow here. It was started Nov 29th, so there's 8 days left if we stick with the usual RFC timeline. Could you jump in an manually handle whatever RFC-workflow that Legobot usually handles? Maybe get it listed on RFC-fedback-request service for at least a few days? I considered editing the list myself, but I didn't want to risk screwing up the automated process. Thanx. Alsee (talk) 02:29, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, the bot is not Flow-aware. I don't think there's any way to subvert the process manually, the bot'll probably trip over itself if something like that happens. Maybe you could use {{cent}} or something? Legoktm (talk) 02:01, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

globalprefs on toollabs

Hi, I wanted to try your globalprefs tool on toollabs, but I only get an internal error. Is the tool still active? Need I to use another URL to use it? --° (Gradzeichen) 12:15, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Legobot down?

The last edit of any kind was at 20:01 UTC on the 29th; it has not made an onhold update (or message posting), and a cancelled review was not noticed either. I hope you can get it working again soon. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Most of tool labs is down right now, once that comes back up, Legobot should run again. Sorry :/ Legoktm (talk) 03:07, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Not your fault! Thanks for letting me know and getting back to me; I hope that the folks at tool labs can restore everything in short order. I imagine that the tool labs problems have also kept lowercase sigmabot III from doing its nightly archive this evening... BlueMoonset (talk) 03:30, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
