Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard
| Bots noticeboard |

|
This is a message board for coordinating and discussing bot-related issues on Wikipedia (also including other programs interacting with the MediaWiki software). Although this page is frequented mainly by bot owners, any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. For non-urgent issues or bugs with a bot, a message should be left on the bot operator's talk page. If discussion with the operator does not resolve the issue or the problem is urgent and widespread, the problem can be reported by following the steps outlined in WP:BOTISSUE. This is not the place for requests for bot approvals or requesting that tasks be done by a bot. General questions about the MediaWiki software (such as the use of templates, etc.) should be asked at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). |

Incomplete FACs[edit]
Is there a bot to detect incomplete or untranscluded WP:FAC nominations? For example, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/List of Bath City F.C. seasons/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/List of Bath City F.C. managers/archive1. I commented on these because their articles were on my watchlist, so I noticed the addition of the {{featured article candidates}}. Perhaps I should have checked that it had been set up properly. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:42, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

AIV bot is down again(?)[edit]
User:HBC AIV helperbot5 isn't removing blocked editors from WP:AIV, but it's still editing WP:UAA and WP:AIV/TB2. It just removed the backlog notice after EvergreenFir manually removed some entries. – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 16:19, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Your wiki will be in read-only soon[edit]
Read this message in another language • Please help translate to other languages.
The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
All traffic will switch on 20 September. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 20 September 2023.
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
