User:AnomieBOT/source/ChangeLog

2024-12-04 03:35 (UTC)

POTDPageDeleter:

Seems {{db-xfd}} wasn't good enough for some people, they made a CSD criterion just for this task.

2024-10-20 00:15 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

Template was protected, creating a new revision.

2024-10-16 19:30 (UTC)

d/IWNS.pm:

Namespaces override interwikis. Filter collisions out so the bot doesn't try to prefix enwiki's new MOS namespace.

2024-09-17 12:10 (UTC)

DeletionSortingCleaner:

Yield like most other tasks do so it won't block other tasks so much.

2024-08-07 12:40 (UTC)

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

Update summary to mention /styles.css subpages.

2024-08-07 12:40 (UTC)

DatedCategoryCreator:

Stop creating categories older than 2010. It seems "200X" as a typo for "202X" is fairly common.

2024-06-24 23:10 (UTC)

scripts:

Use perl5.36 image.

2024-06-19 11:00 (UTC)

WikiUninterestingNumbers:

Fix nonredir query to not ignore missing _(number) pages.

2024-06-16 23:50 (UTC)

Various:

Add logging of database query time to more tasks.

2024-06-16 20:45 (UTC)

PeerReviewArchiver:

Previously bot would never close PRs if they're on either of the two sidebars or have only one contributor. Now these will be archived after 3 months of inactivity.
Also finally added code to clean up closed PRs from the two sidebars, but didn't enable it yet.

2024-06-15 14:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

Correctly log about direct category use if no maintenance templates are in the page at all.

2024-05-11 13:05 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

Update talk page message about a missing subpage, and add checking for the date being missing from Template:TFA title/data.json too.

2024-04-16 12:00 (UTC)

General:

Update some checks for changing meaning of "anon".

2024-04-12 16:05 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

Seems someone created {{R from alternative hyphenation}} now.

2024-04-06 15:30 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

Clean up skip list. The two non-images have been deleted, and for the image there's little point in skipping just that one since seven other such images have had local pages created since.

2024-04-06 14:40 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

As an additional safety check on the previous change, only do that when both of the subject pages redirect to the same target.

2024-04-06 14:15 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

If there are multiple dashed talk page titles with conflicting targets, and one matches its subject page while the other doesn't, prefer the matching one. Probably the non-matching talk page is because someone thinks discusson of the subject-space redirect needs to be preserved on that specific talk page (rather than being archived to the target's talk page) so they refuse to redirect it.

2024-03-11 11:15 (UTC)

TagDater:

BRFA 81 approved!

2024-03-08 17:10 (UTC)

TagDater:

Trial for BRFA 81 complete.

Log which category is being processed for "template screw-up" message.

2024-02-04 20:00 (UTC)

TalkTemplateMover:

Supplemental BRFA to handle additional templates (initially {{interwiki copy}}) approved.

2024-02-04 14:25 (UTC)

RandomPagePicker:

Avoid subst:FULLPAGENAME to avoid null edits which don't return a newrevid.

2024-02-02 01:15 (UTC)

TagDater:

BRFA 81 in trial.

2024-01-29 22:30 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger, WikiProjectWorker:

Retire these tasks, WikiProject templates have changed a bunch since I last ran these.

2024-01-29 00:05 (UTC)

WikiUninterestingNumbers:

Fix no-update-needed logic.

2024-01-28 23:45 (UTC)

WikiUninterestingNumbers:

Adjust args.

2024-01-28 23:25 (UTC)

New task, editing only the bot's userspace.

2024-01-28 22:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

Supplemental BRFA: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 81
Fix some edit summaries and log messages.

2024-01-28 21:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

Handle {{disambiguation|non-primary}}. Not specifically mentioned in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 57 since it was added 12 years later, but it's along the same lines.
Handle {{disambiguation cleanup|cleanup}} and such too.

2024-01-28 21:10 (UTC)

TagDater:

Fix regex.

2024-01-21 12:50 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Spaces in log message.

2024-01-11 14:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix bug.

2024-01-11 14:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix crash.

2023-12-25 18:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

Add code to log when the bot detects a direct use of a maintenance category in a page, and whether there seems to be a corresponding template already. In the future I'll file a BRFA to have the bot actually fix these.

2023-12-16 15:15 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Use Special:Diff and Special:PermaLink instead of bare URLs.

2023-12-16 15:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Don't rescue generically-named refs that were removed over a year ago.

2023-12-14 03:25 (UTC)

Improve handling of multiple bot exclusion templates.

2023-12-14 02:35 (UTC)

NobotsHallOfShame:

Fix Category:Clean-up categories subcat creation.

2023-11-19 23:55 (UTC)

Handle Category:Clean-up categories specially.

2023-11-18 02:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

If the bot is going to give the revert warning itself, stop and complain instead.

2023-11-02 01:30 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::TiedDBD:

Add more retry error codes. ToolsDB has been being rebooted a lot lately, and every time it kills a bunch of tasks.

2023-10-24 17:55 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

Detect edit warring on the redirects. AnomieBOT and Bot1058 can easily get into conflict if the en-dashed subject page is a redirect and its talk page does not match.

2023-08-10 11:55 (UTC)

DeletionSortingCleaner:

Better handle weird ways people list things: excess whitespace (note process_templates already converts underscores and such) and miscapitalization.

2023-07-21 02:45 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Disable searching for duplicate refs in linked/linking articles. It seems people too often use generic names like that of the newspaper or website, leading to false positives.

2023-07-20 23:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

Don't try to date tags in transcluded pages that aren't wikitext.

2023-07-17 19:50 (UTC)

SpamBlacklistBlocker:

Deactivate task, on-wiki lists haven't been updated since 2017.

2023-07-16 20:40 (UTC)

Back in 2016 MediaWiki stopped allowing extension tags to be unclosed. Time to match that.
Update fallback tag list.

2023-07-10 11:20 (UTC)

Don't keep cached targetsection if e.g. a deny is reverted to on-hold.

Update text for the case where a local account is missing.

Fix typo in overlong edit summary code.

2023-04-07 13:15 (UTC)

Avoid assigning pos() unnecessarily, it's slow.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Update talk page comment to give explicit permission to remove the comment.

2023-04-01 15:05 (UTC)

Get log page header from Template:CFD log day.

2023-02-16 23:00 (UTC)

Someone added content parameter aliases to various efn-group templates.

2023-02-04 18:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix unquoted ref names with embedded apostrophes, instead of truncating them.

2023-02-01 13:40 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

Add explicit |1= to {{-r}} to avoid breaking on titles containing =.

2023-02-01 13:10 (UTC)

TemplateSubster::Base:

Add a check for a potential weird race condition.

2023-01-31 13:55 (UTC)

scripts:

Fix execution of `tools-startbot.pl` and `tools-updatebot.pl` using relative paths.

2023-01-16 03:05 (UTC)

Parse <ref> attributes using HTML5 semantics, which MediaWiki seems to have switched to at some point a while back.

2023-01-09 12:15 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

Supplemental BRFA approved

2022-12-23 18:40 (UTC)

Supplemental BRFA in trial.

2022-12-22 16:30 (UTC)

Supplemental BRFA filed.
Uncomment new code but guard it.
Update JSON format, and avoid overwriting if a human set a future entry to an array.

2022-12-20 14:10 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

Comment out new code for now, can't work at that title due to missing OAuth grants.

2022-12-20 13:45 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

Start maintaining a JSON version of the data, currently in the bot's userspace.

Fix and re-enable pod status check.

Expose function to copy-and-truncate a file for use in log file rotating.

2022-10-28 16:10 (UTC)

show-task-status:

Disable pod status check for now, Toolforge doesn't have permissions set up right to access it.

2022-10-26 01:30 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

Strip comments from the title, apparently someone thought it was a good idea to put one in Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 31, 2022.

2022-10-23 22:55 (UTC)

SourceUploader:

Fix silly error.

2022-10-23 22:10 (UTC)

Don't build all the pages in the constructor.

2022-10-23 21:00 (UTC)

Switch stuff over to Toolforge's Kubernetes infrastructure.

2022-10-23 17:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

Fix handling of templatedata empty result.

2022-06-25 20:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

Check templatedata for declared numeric params, and avoid moving dates from them into |date=. Intended for templates like {{citation needed span}} that might wrap a date.

2022-06-20 12:15 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Avoid edits like Special:Diff/1094004967.

2022-06-04 14:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Improve logging of bad regexes from the title blacklists
- Include page and line number in a standard format in all messages.
- Include the actual error when skipping bad regexes.
- Log warnings properly instead of letting Perl dump them to the console every run.
- Always log when running in testing (noedit) mode.

2022-06-04 13:13 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Stop updating EDITREQTable, so it can be turned into something vaguely resembling a disambiguation page.

2022-05-26 10:50 (UTC)

TalkTemplateMover:

Adjust edit summary to make it clearer that the move is per the template's documentation. People seem to miss this.

2022-05-22 23:45 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Redis:

Set some timeouts.

2022-05-22 22:22 (UTC)

2022-04-26 20:10 (UTC)

TFAProtector:

RFC was not approved, archive task.

2022-04-21 00:30 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Include the title being processed in more log messages.

2022-04-17 12:55 (UTC)

Read the page from {{TFAFULL}} instead of trying to find the right link in the wikitext.

2022-04-11 00:55 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Fix coloring of extended-confirmed on EPERTable. Somehow it didn't get set right back in 2016 and no one noticed until now.

2022-03-13 18:00 (UTC)

TFDClerk:

Revert discussion header change. Sigh, wish people could make up their minds.

2022-02-19 13:25 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Typo fix.

2022-02-19 00:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix handling of {{efn}} with an incorrect |group=.

2022-02-13 14:55 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Add $HOME as a variable for dsn config options. Using ~/ seems to have stopped working for some reason.

2022-01-25 13:30 (UTC)

ArticleCreationGrapher:

Discontinue task. Graph doesn't seem to really be used anymore, and mw:Extension:Graph exists which would be a better way to do it than a monthly file upload.

2021-12-31 13:30 (UTC)

BrokenRedirectDeleter:

Exclude Wikipedia:Example of a broken redirect from the report, it's supposed to exist as an example.

2021-12-29 22:25 (UTC)

TemplateSubster::Base:

Work around T14974 by reproducing the "after newline" environment when passing data to action=parse.

d::Templates:

Indicate to the callback whether each template found by process_templates is located after a newline or not.

2021-12-29 17:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Avoid renaming templates when adding parameters.

2021-12-28 21:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Handle references created by {{refn}}, {{efn}}, and similar templates that just wrap {{#tag:ref}}. Templates that do other stuff (like {{r}} and {{sfn}}) are not handled.

2021-12-21 23:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Use {{-r}} if the page or target of the request is a redirect.

2021-12-12 01:50 (UTC)

TFDClerk:

Adjust discussion header per request.

2021-11-30 00:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Use classes rather than hard-coding colors, so the specific colors can be determined by community consensus and can be overridden by individual editors.

2021-10-24 00:15 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

Update revision for {{CBSB link}}.

2021-10-24 00:10 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Adjust for new BAG table format.

2021-10-20 01:00 (UTC)

TFDTemplateSubster:

Don't do JSON->utf8. AnomieBOT::API returns and expects Unicode strings, not utf8-encoded strings.

2021-09-28 12:40 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

Update revision for {{Csb link}}.

2021-09-21 22:30 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

Re-start run for WP:WikiProject Film/Marvel Cinematic Universe task force for importance in a handful of categories.

2021-08-11 04:05 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Remove check for URI not handling Unicode characters correctly. I don't remember what the deal was there (that was added in 2008), but an encode() is needed or HTTP::Message will complain. And anyway, it doesn't look like we're even hitting URI inside HTTP::Request::Common anymore since we switched to using multipart/form-data in 2012.
Also remove the similar check for Digest::MD5. That too seems to need an encode() and is unlikely to change.
Instead of using Encode::encode() which mangles non-characters like U+FDD0, use utf8::encode() which passes them. GIGO makes more sense here.
Fix the debug logging to log before doing the encode() rather than after.

2021-07-25 11:40 (UTC)

DeletionSortingCleaner:

Look for xfd-closed class to recognize closed discussions, boilerplate metadata might be used by other things too.
Update result regex too.

2021-06-27 14:00 (UTC)

TagDater:

Process Category:Wikipedia categories sorted by month too.

DatedCategoryCreator:

Use {{Monthly maintenance category}} instead of {{Monthly clean-up category}} where appropriate.

2021-06-16 12:20 (UTC)

Run complete.

2021-06-16 12:15 (UTC)

Start run for WP:WikiProject Film/Marvel Cinematic Universe task force
Some cleanup of the code.

Update for more process changes:

Don't skip "1" for {{ArticleHistory}}.

List of historical anniversaries was moved to List of days of the year, skip that too.

2020-10-04 00:00 (UTC)

d/Redirects.pm:

redirects_to() should still normalize input.

TFDTemplateSubster:

Handle normalization from the above change.

2020-09-08 16:30 (UTC)

ACNClerk:

Apparently "my sub" is recently new, and needs to be specifically enabled in the version of Perl on Toolforge.

2020-09-08 02:30 (UTC)

ACNClerk:

They decided to use {{slink}} instead of regular links. Sigh.

Apply {{R avoided double redirect}} when appropriate.

2020-06-06 19:45 (UTC)

And approved! I wonder if that's a record outside of cases where a BAGger was specifically coordinating.

2020-06-06 19:35 (UTC)

DeletionSortingCleaner:

Supplemental BRFA to remove duplicate entries in deletion sorting pages.

2020-05-07 12:05 (UTC)

Increase allowed length in most edit summary length checks. RandomPagePicker is the exception, since the summaries there aren't bot-controlled shorter is probably better.

2017-05-23 18:30 (UTC)

When check_page2 was split from check_page for unit testing purposes, some function calls weren't updated properly so check_page() was getting called with wrong arguments.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix logging, action entries were getting through without an identifying header entry or with a misplaced header entry.

2013-11-17 20:50 (UTC)

tools-updatebot.pl:

New script to update the bot on a git post-receive hook, rather than having a job running to poll the repo.

tools-startbot.pl:

Don't start bot-updater.pl anymore.

2013-11-17 20:00 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

Ha! AnomieBOT II edited it, so now the version number needs bumping.

2013-11-17 19:50 (UTC)

Add sanity check to prevent broken edits like this
Another log message.

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

Approved!

2013-11-02 12:30 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

Someone is apparently running an unauthorized bot to change the protection level of every template, which hit {{cfb link}}. Whee.

2013-10-26 22:34 (UTC)

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

Data from the database comes in as a binary string, not UTF-8. So pass it through utf8::decode.

2013-10-26 21:55 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Since the point of the hidden 'nopause' flag is to be able to run a trial while the real bot is just paused, it shouldn't clear the pause flag.

2013-10-26 21:50 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Add "onpause" callback.

bot-instance.pl:

Use "onpause" callback to mark tasks paused when paused.

bot-updater.pl:

Mimic the above.

2013-10-25 15:20 (UTC)

show-task-status.pl:

Pull CSS/JS from production rather than betalabs, due to potential privacy issues in betalabs.

2013-10-18 15:55 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Handle template-protection, currently lumped in with CAT:EP.

2013-10-17 13:55 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Replace underscores with spaces in page titles read from urns.

2013-10-17 12:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Handle urns that have HTML entities in them (e.g. ').

2013-10-14 03:55 (UTC)

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

Use continuation in database query, so the bot doesn't wind up uselessly looping forever if more than 500 invalid pages pile up at the beginning of the list.

2013-10-11 13:55 (UTC)

show-task-status.pl:

Renamed task-status.pl to show-task-status.pl, so it doesn't interfere with tab completion of the 'tasks' subdir.

2013-10-09 23:30 (UTC)

TFDClerk, IFDCloser, PUICloser:

The "metadata" class was removed from the closing templates, so remove it from the is_closed regex
Add a sanity check to make sure the bot doesn't screw up if this sort of thing happens again.

DRVClerk:

Improve error message slightly.

2013-09-30 01:40 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Adjust coloring for cascading protection. Even though cascading semi-protection isn't possible, we'd want it red on CAT:ESP if it were.
Consider the cascade-protected page itself as cascading too
Indicate cascading in the "protection level" column

2013-09-30 01:20 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Add a comment to document the structure of the @data array.

Make use of the new hidden "urn:" links to detect edit requests for pages other than the subjectpage of the talk page containing the template.

2013-09-29 22:55 (UTC)

task-status.pl:

Add script that outputs the status of all tasks, in either HTML or plain-text format.

2013-09-28 02:55 (UTC)

Use {{tlus}} for linking the uw-orphan template.

2013-09-26 10:10 (UTC)

General:

One more command-handling utility

2013-09-07 02:00 (UTC)

Put job status data in redis/memcache, too.

2013-08-30 22:25 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Since Module pages are so much like Templates, color them green too.

2013-08-30 10:50 (UTC)

DRVClerk, IFDCloser, PUICloser, TFDClerk:

Adjust header fixer to work properly when the level-3 header has no preceeding text.

2013-08-29 11:30 (UTC)

bot-updater.pl:

Use IPC::Run to set a timeout on the git calls.

2013-08-28 13:05 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl:

Try using parens instead of brackets in $0, perhaps that's what's causing sge to be not reporting resource usage for AnomieBOT-999.

2013-08-04 00:15 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Redis:

Fix noreply

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Memcached:

Fix double namespacing of keys in flush_prefix handling
Remove unused variable.

2013-08-03 05:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Don't allow newlines in many of the error fixes, it's probably a sign of a bigger problem.

2013-07-18 10:45 (UTC)

TalkTagger:

Completed.

2013-07-15 16:20 (UTC)

TalkTagger:

Approved!

Yet another random rename of BRFA templates...

Now that I found out about qacct, I can see that it used 318M when it died on July 1. So bump it to 350M.

2013-07-12 17:00 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl, bot-updater.pl:

Log gridengine job id when starting

CHUUClerk:

Update for log format changed in gerrit:5288.

2013-07-01 16:20 (UTC)

bot-updater.pl:

Apparently NFS issues can cause the cwd to get lost, even though it still exists in the same place on disk. Work around that by explcitly chdiring back to it before shelling out to git.

2013-07-01 15:25 (UTC)

ArticleCreationGrapher:

Bump memory limit to 300M, 256M is apparently too small.

Update column names in create-store.pl
Remove ancient update-db.pl

Add new "pause" signal, so a bot process may be paused without having to stop and then restart it.

2013-06-30 18:25 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl, bot-updater.pl:

Log hostname along with pid when starting

tools-startbot.pl:

Put system() call to qsub in a sub to make arg updating easier.

Also skip pages with {{Old AfD}}.

2013-06-11 23:45 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl:

We need to sort @tasknames to the same order as @tasks, otherwise output is wrong.

2013-06-11 12:05 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl, bot-updater.pl:

Replace spaces with NBSP in $0, to avoid confusing gridengine.
Indicate ended tasks in $0.

2013-06-11 12:05 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Don't complain about global bots editing. Too bad there's no straightforward way to make sure it's only doing interwiki edits.

2013-05-24 23:25 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Fix bug in previous.

2013-05-24 23:10 (UTC)

bot-updater.pl:

Reopen filehandles for logging.

2013-05-22 16:45 (UTC)

Replace bot.pl with a system more appropriate for tool labs: instead of forking, each bot gets its own job.

2013-05-19 16:05 (UTC)

AnomieBOT/API/TiedDBD.pm:

Not entirely sure this will work, but let's give it a shot for catching those MySQL errors.
Add a generous limit on retries.

Try staggering task startup?

bot.pl:

Log process list when SIGUSR2 is received.

2013-05-14 01:30 (UTC)

2013-05-09 21:20 (UTC)

tools-runbot.sh, bot.pl:

Ignore SIGUSR1, could also be sent by gridengine.

Add code for AnomieBOT 68 BRFA, but disabled.
Also, PUI has long since changed to 7 days. So adjust that too.

2013-04-26 15:10 (UTC)

tools-runbot.sh:

Catch SIGUSR2. That's probably why the bot has been dying.

2013-04-26 14:45 (UTC)

Sort tasks numerically

Improve log output.

2013-04-25 00:40 (UTC)

Changes for moving to tools-labs:

Add command-file interface, since apparently signals can't be sent in tools.
Add new script, tools-runbot.sh.
Make SIGUSR2 script signal all children immediately (we only have 60 seconds)
Use a unique data-dir test file per botnum.

2013-04-13 00:45 (UTC)

bot.pl:

Recognize SIGUSR2 as a halt command.

2013-04-12 02:25 (UTC)

Changes for moving to tools-labs:

Adjust configuration
Remove IRC and RC Feed junk. Never really used it, and the IRC module isn't currently installed there.
Rename database "key" and "value" columns, at least the former is a reserved word in MySQL. Sigh.

2013-04-10 12:25 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

Update revision for Template:Citation needed by; someone felt the need to add a period to the tooltip. Yeah.

bot.pl:

Log child process exit statuses.

2013-03-13 14:35 (UTC)

Properly handle errors in adding the tag.

General:

Fix various use of undefined variable errors.

Make resolve_redirects not get confused by circular redirects.
Fix a few modules that need the same thing.

2013-03-01 08:45 (UTC)

OnThisDayTagger:

Converted the template to Scribunto, so no more need to count the available parameters. Yay!

2013-02-26 02:45 (UTC)

DatedCategoryCreator:

Allow creating Category:Articles that include images for deletion subcats a week in advance.

2013-02-25 15:30 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix fatal error.

2013-02-23 13:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

To avoid people whining when they make these silly templates to avoid having to type "<ref>", detect and skip any that seem to be defined in that way.
I'll have to remember to watch for the expandtemplates call timing out and handle that somehow.

2013-02-18 03:35 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Don't copy refs with names like "E16", too generic.

2013-02-07 02:35 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

WP Brands run complete.

2013-02-05 13:05 (UTC)

IFDCloser:

Make sure there's a linebreak before it when adding the move notice.

2013-02-04 01:45 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

Start run for WP Brands.

2013-02-03 23:00 (UTC)

2013-02-03 22:30 (UTC)

MedComClerk:

Fix incomplete update for rename of Category:Mediation Committee rejected cases to Category:Requests for mediation rejected requests.

2012-12-30 03:50 (UTC)

d::Redirects:

Fix a long-standing bug in resolve_redirects. The function tried to be smart: each query can handle up to 500 titles, so when it was going to be making a query with fewer it would add old cached entries to the query so they wouldn't need to expire from the cache. But then it would go ahead and actually return these extra redirects, which could wind up confusing TagDater.

2012-12-29 13:45 (UTC)

EditorReviewArchiver:

Correctly handle deleted review pages that are still transcluded on the main page.

2012-12-27 00:35 (UTC)

Return revision tags along with edit token.

TagDater:

Don't date pages where the latest revision has a BLP tag.

2012-10-28 13:25 (UTC)

TagDater:

Allow "rules" to specify a different named parameter to date.
Allow multiple sets of "rules" per template. Note only one may be applied per instance per edit, so multiple edits might be made if more than one needs doing.
Fix the dating by "rules" when the dated parameter exists but is in the wrong format.

2012-10-17 13:25 (UTC)

TagDater:

Don't mess with whitespace after the template name when processing "rules" templates.
Don't pretend to have dated a "rules" template when it didn't get dated.
Add the ability for the unit-testing to recurse or not recurse.

2012-10-12 01:05 (UTC)

DRVClerk:

Avoid backtracking in {{DRV top}} processing.

2012-09-30 15:30 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

If the subjectspace page does not exist, list all TitleBlacklist matches instead of just those with 'noedit'. Well, except 'moveonly' or 'newaccountonly' rules.

2012-09-28 14:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

If {{multiple issues}} has an old-style parameter where the value resembles "Month YYYY{{template}}", assume it's a broken addition of new-style parameters and convert the whole template to new-style.

2012-09-19 02:40 (UTC)

ITNCArchiver:

Adjust archive timing per discussion at WT:ITN/C.

2012-09-14 03:30 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

Someone edited Template:Citation needed by.

2012-09-02 03:10 (UTC)

DatedCategoryCreator:

Allow certain cats to have backdated dates (currently just Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating).

TagDater:

Don't check years in missingcats logic, due to the above change.

2012-09-02 02:55 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Burn more API queries to make sure that a "moving refs out of templates" change is actually making a difference to the page.

2012-08-30 16:30 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

Ok, that was dumb.

2012-08-30 16:20 (UTC)

Better comment escaping.

2012-08-30 01:40 (UTC)

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

Adjust timing code so it will actually run at as close to 23:00 as possible (and so will create the new pages at 23:00 instead of 00:00).

IFDCloser:

Unnecessarily escape some braces in regexes to avoid vim brace matching issues.

2012-08-29 20:20 (UTC)

For some reason I thought wikitext like [[bar|{{bar|]]}} ]] would ignore the template in favor of the link. No idea whether that used to be the case or if I was just confused when I wrote this code, but either way it's not the case now.

TagDater:

Don't move |1= into |date= when it's over 30 characters.

2012-04-01 04:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

Avoid "fixing" dates when the date field is much longer than any possible date, because it's probably more than just a simple mistake. The longest is "September YYYY" at 14 characters, so over 30 characters is something odd.

2012-03-24 14:20 (UTC)

Minor cleanups for efficiency.

2012-03-23 02:35 (UTC)

Stagger task termination to avoid the thundering herd problem. AnomieBOT's computer tends to run low on free memory, and bringing everything out of swap at once kills.

2012-03-21 03:15 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

The decoded_content method on the HTTP::Response returns characters, not bytes (i.e. Perl's "UTF8" flag is on), at least when MediaWiki sets charset=utf-8 in the response (which it does). And the JSON module requires its utf8 flag to be set contrariwise, or it will get confused and throw errors. Which means we need to set the JSON object's utf8 flag off, not on.

2012-03-21 00:50 (UTC)

Process Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template last, since it's as likely as not to contain a bunch of articles with dates that are "invalid" only because the monthly category just doesn't exist.

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MedcabBot was used by the old MedcabBot, change to Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MedcabBot 2.

2011-10-05 01:55 (UTC)

MedcabBot:

New task.

WatchlistUpdater:

Add subpages of User:MedcabBot to User:AnomieBOT/index.

AnomieBOT::API:

Change AnomieBOT_SECURE mode base path to https://wiki.riteme.site/w/.
Remove logging of failed queries. It's ok for normal queries, but for edits or uploads it makes no sense.

d::Sections:

Don't break if there is an empty section at the end of the page.

2011-09-30 14:30 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Configure the entire base path to the api, rather than just the host and assuming it's "http://$host/w/". This way, we can specify "https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/".
Add an environment variable that can be set to change the default to https. I trust the connection to AnomieBOT's server not to be sniffed, but when testing from my laptop at Starbucks with my VPN being broken...

2011-09-27 10:45 (UTC)

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

Template renaming strikes again.

Supplemental BRFA 56 approved!

2011-09-24 13:55 (UTC)

FlagIconRemover:

Consensus seems to exist for processing {{Infobox dam}} as well. The discussion showed two opposes, one of which seemed to miss the point that the discussion was for {{Infobox dam}} only and the other was from an editor well-known for opposing WP:MOSFLAG and opposing on that basis only.

SourceUploader:

Bump up ChangeLog size limit to 200KB.
Add __NOTOC__ to the published changelog.

General:

Add a vim modeline to the changelog.
Escape some "<" and ">" (as "<" and ">") in some old changelog entries to avoid breaking syntax highlighting in my editor.

2011-09-19 02:50 (UTC)

TagDater:

Another dating bug fix.

2011-09-18 16:35 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Consider categories rather than templates when moving BRFAs to Approved/Denied/Withdrawn/Expired.
Flag requests in WP:BAG/Status when Approved/Denied/Withdrawn/Expired templates are present without the corresponding category (except in Revoked requests, of course).

2011-09-18 13:40 (UTC)

NobotsHallOfShame:

Sort ties by bot name, instead of randomly.

2011-09-16 13:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

Don't worry about variables when processing templates.

2011-09-15 11:45 (UTC)

Supplemental BRFA 55 in trial.

2011-09-14 21:45 (UTC)

Stupid bug was making it use the old BRFA data for all bots. Ugh.
Check if a bot is listed at WP:BRFAA, and don't complain about it editing if so.

2011-09-13 17:35 (UTC)

FlagIconRemover:

Improve logging.

2011-09-12 16:00 (UTC)

General:

Remove dummy while(1) loops, they're not needed in Perl.

2011-09-09 10:30 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Supplemental BRFA 54 approved! Diff looks big because of reindenting, the only change is to remove the "is trial approved" checks?

2011-09-06 17:15 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

Indicate when the target user has edited since the request was filed.

2011-09-05 20:25 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Different message for editing the BRFA itself.

2011-09-05 16:05 (UTC)

Nothing is wrong with the code for BRFA 53 after all.
Keep record of old BRFAs for a short time after completion, just in case they come back. For example, if someone screws up the {{BRFA}} temporarily.

2011-09-05 13:45 (UTC)

2011-07-30 13:45 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Remove "Requests to add a task to an already-approved bot" from WP:BRFA, per discussion.

2011-07-13 10:50 (UTC)

The arbitrary and pointless renaming of templates to have spaces strikes again.

Now that the fix for bug 25508 is live, we can output the count of unattached accounts even when no SUL account exists.

2011-02-20 01:00 (UTC)

SourceUploader:

Override several behaviors of Pod::Simple::Wiki::Mediawiki:
- Don't try to generate "; foo : bar" lists, to prevent incorrect generation of "; foo1; foo2; foo3" when multiple =items have no intervening text.
- For indented bulleted/numbered lists, generate ":::*" instead of "****" to prevent the line-of-bullets effect.
- Add a code A<> to generate links to other pages within the bot's source.
- Fix L<> processing to generate interwiki links for "urls" that don't have a standard scheme.
- Fix L<> to use {{man}} for manpage links.
- Output <code>...</code> instead if <tt>...</tt>, and <pre>...</pre> instead of <code>...</code>.

Don't change active discussions to "Archived discussion".

2011-01-18 23:55 (UTC)

More exact detection of when someone was already notified of the medcom case.

Adjust metadata.

TagDater:

Adjust delay to 20 minutes to match SmackBot.

2011-01-11 12:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

Sort the categories to be processed in order by number of pages. While this will FP on categories that contain non-mainspace pages (e.g. Category:Userspace drafts), in general it should help.
Be more smart about the delay until next run when too-new of pages have been seen.

2011-01-11 12:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

Delay to 25 minutes to match SmackBot.

2011-01-10 14:20 (UTC)

Special case "[[Category:]]", which doesn't create a link either way.

AccidentalLangLinkFixer:

Approved, after 14 edits in 98 days.

2011-01-01 22:05 (UTC)

TagDater:

Improve detection of out-of-date category membership lists.

2011-01-01 21:10 (UTC)

TagDater:

Recognize {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} and {{CURRENTYEAR}}.

2011-01-01 18:00 (UTC)

ArticleCreationGrapher:

Apparently {{PD-self}} wants a date now.

2010-12-31 02:05 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

Since MediaWiki sucks at putting the templates into the categories, if we find nothing to do to fix a page then check all its templates.

2010-12-29 17:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

Don't mess with (unrecognized) |reason= in {{multiple issues}}.

2010-12-29 17:20 (UTC)

TagDater:

Fix re for recognizing comments after dates.

2010-12-29 01:15 (UTC)

IFDCloser:

Don't die.

TagDater:

Fix handling of Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template.
Null edit for other cats if the page isn't in the cat anymore.

diff.pl:

Switch to using dwdiff's -c option.

2010-12-27 17:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

Try to detect when an article is in Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template because of too many expensive parser function calls, and don't log it as "Nothing to do" so I won't be going back and checking it uselessly.

2010-12-27 17:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

For {{as of}}, still correct the "December 2010"-format date if it has extraneous punctuation or the like.
Do a null edit on pages in Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template that aren't actually in that category.

test.pl:

Add a --nodebug option to turn off debug logging.

2010-12-27 16:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

Try to detect when an article is in Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template because a valid maintenance category just doesn't exist yet, and don't log it as "Nothing to do" so I won't be going back and checking it uselessly.
Treat dates before 2000 in maintenance tags as probably invalid.

2010-12-27 16:10 (UTC)

TagDater:

In {{multiple issues}}, don't log people setting the parameters to "y" as "unrecognized".
Recognize when people specify a date with quotes (e.g. {{fact|date="December 2010"}}).
Correctly fix the case where someone forgets the pipe before |reason= and so enters something like {{fact|date=December 2010 reason=foo}}.
Recognize the date format generated by ~~~~~.
Fix linebreaks in logging statements.

2010-12-24 04:45 (UTC)

TagDater:

Not that they're likely to hit anymore since the relevant templates now exist, but fix junk like {{subst:DECEMBER}}.

2010-12-23 22:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

Use $monthnum{$months{$1}} instead of $monthnum{$1}, the latter will fail if any of the typo entries in $monthre are matched.

2010-12-21 21:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

Linebreaks in the middle of dates need to be corrected, so don't collapse them to spaces prematurely.

2010-12-21 15:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

Surprisingly enough, {{as of|December 2010}} works for years after 2004, so don't correct it to {{as of|2010|12}}.

2010-12-22 14:40 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

Fix copy-paste bug (use $tok2 instead of $res).

2010-12-21 16:15 (UTC)

TagDater:

If the bot finds nothing to do in an article, check the article's transcludes for new redirects to a dated template. Otherwise the bot winds up complaining about everything that uses that new redirect for up to 24 hours.

2010-12-20 18:20 (UTC)

TagDater:

Automatically recognize all typoed months with an edit distance of 1. I'm not sure trying to handle a distance of 2 would be worth the greatly-increased memory usage.

2010-12-19 15:45 (UTC)

BAGBot:

Try to handle second and extended trials.

2010-12-19 15:25 (UTC)

+1 misspelling of November, +1 misspelling of December.

2010-12-15 22:05 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

Handle the case where someone requests to urusp the same name.

2010-12-15 14:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

Organize and comment config globals at the top.
+1 misspelling of December
Remember revids that were "Nothing to do", "page protected", "bot excluded", and so on, and don't retry them until they're edited.
Reduce logging.

2010-12-15 13:45 (UTC)

TagDater:

For tags besides {{as of}} and {{update after}}, correct future dates to the current date. No idea why people are putting "January 2011" in mid-December, but they are.
Catch "undated" and such in normal maintenance tags too.

2010-12-14 17:10 (UTC)

TagDater:

Wait a bit after the last human edit, to help avoid edit conflicts.
Honor {{in use}}.
More aggressive caching of templates list.
Also, better support for bot restart.

2010-12-14 16:40 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

Don't screw up if someone uses underscores in their requested username. D'oh.

2010-12-14 14:45 (UTC)

Reload list of templates if Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Dated templates is updated.

Allow for easy exporting of POSIX::strftime, Time::Local::timegm, and Time::Local::timelocal.
Remove unneeded "use" directives.

All tasks, where applicable:

Use the new exports instead of directly using POSIX and/or Time::Local.
Use gmtime/timegm rather than localtime/mktime (with or without $ENV{'TZ'}='UTC').
No more "POSIX::strftime".
Remove unneeded "use" directives.

2010-09-03 17:50 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

Store cookies in a file in the data directory, so the bot doesn't have to re-login all the time.
Since we will now have persistent logins, have login() by default check if we are already logged in and don't bother doing so again. And add a parameter to override that.
Allow $BOTNUM in store_dsn, and change the default to use it. This means AnomieBOT's configuration can be simpler as it doesn't have to specify store_dsn anymore.
Set umask when creating files (e.g. the database file if it doesn't already exist).
Add a "logout" function, not that $api->query(action=>'logout') isn't easy enough.

It turns out the way the bot name in {{BRFA}} is used effectively strips leading/trailing whitespace from the bot's name.

IFDCloser:

Add in code to automatically fix simple close-box mispositionings (i.e. where {{ifd top}} was put just before the header with at most a one-line closing rationale) instead of complaining. I've been using this manually for a good while now whenever the bot complains, so it should be good to go.

WikiProjectTagger:

Done!

AnomieBOT::API:

Let login use a higher maxlag. It shouldn't overload the servers any, since the very next query will still hit maxlag anyway.
Have the test-mode fake edit write the raw data, it seems to be getting double-encoded if I specify utf8.

Apparently, list-defined refs can have the group implicitly defined by the encloding references tag. Which means we have to parse them out specially to get the group correct.

RandomPagePicker:

Add some checks for an undefined revid; not sure how that happens in the first place though.

2009-09-20 18:00 (UTC)

d::Nowiki, d::Templates:

Add some generic stripping functions

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Don't move refs out of {{reflist}} (or {{#tag:references}}), because those are list-defined refs.
Leave trying to actually fix errors with list-defined references for later, because it's really quite complicated when you start doing refs-inside-of-refs and whether you use <references> versus {{#tag:references}} and so on.

2009-09-18 14:20 (UTC)

It is apparently no longer an error for <references> to contain content.

When we have lots of categories, getting to the ones at the end of the list can take enough time to cause troble. The fix: Remember which cats are completely done and don't even query them.

2009-07-06 18:10 (UTC)

2009-05-22 12:00 (UTC)

WPBS now supports 20 numbered parameters. A request is in to update WPB similarly; if the people there want to be stupid and not honor the request, I don't care about it then.

WikiProjectTagger:

Prepare to restart run for WikiProject Energy, after several more people have weighed in.

2009-03-27 13:10 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Bah, bugfix.

2009-03-27 03:00 (UTC)

General:

BREAKING CHANGE: And it's a big one:
- Data store changed from (binary) Storable to (readable) JSON. update-db.pl will change an existing database. This may affect the exact values storable in the permanent storage.
- AnomieBOT::API now supports run-time decoration (something like mixins). Simply calling $api->decorators('d::Util') will magically add all the methods defined in d/Util.pm to $api.
- $api->task() now takes additional arguments to set the throttles and decorators in one call.
- The interface to the permanent storage has changed: $api->store now returns a hashref tied to the storage data for the current task. Thus, $api->store->{'foo'} accesses the 'foo' key in the database. All standard hash operations may be used.
- The former $AnomieBOT::Task::basedir and AnomieBOT::Task::load have been moved to AnomieBOT::API.
- Most utility methods have been moved from AnomieBOT::Task to the decorator d::Util. d::Util may be split in the future into more specific decorators.
Completed tasks have had a note added that they will no longer run. Current tasks and utility scripts have been updated.
New functions in d::Util: resolve_redirects() and redirects_to() to get redirects from or to a list of pages, respectively.
d::WikiProjectTagging added, with functions for manipulating WikiProject banners.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

New function approved.
Storage format of the "posted talk pages" info has changed; it will be automatically updated.

TemplateReplacer14:

Task completed.

General:

Rearrange a few other task configuration assignments as well, while I'm at it.

2009-02-22 03:45 (UTC)

General:

Add support for the AssertEdit extension.
BREAKING CHANGE: Assert "bot" by default. This means any non-flagged bot on a wiki with AssertEdit enabled will not be able to edit without changing the configuration file. trial.pl overrides this, so bot trials can still be conducted.
Return better error text when an edit hook rejects the edit: detect all three current APIEditBeforeSave-using extensions' signatures in the response object, and fall back to dumping all response object properties.

SourceUploader & WatchlistUpdater:

Use new configuration entry that sets assert=user, because these tasks run unflagged (even though they're on a flagged bot anyway).

SourceUploader:

Remove the "5 minute" check, we want the source uploaded without delay.

2009-02-20 01:50 (UTC)

Detect when the bot is trying to restart.

2009-02-13 04:30 (UTC)

General:

BREAKING CHANGE: Due to the upcoming API breaking change, the functionality of $api->query() has changed to automatically continue over most property requests. $task->fullquery() is now redundant and has been removed.
Update all tasks to replace fullquery calls.

2009-02-05 20:55 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Detect common vandalism and excessive breakage, and refuse to exacerbate the situation by trying to fix it.

General:

Adjust {{bots}} optout handling.

2008-09-30 22:09 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Minor regex adjustment to avoid quoting the curly quotes in curly-quoted params

General:

Adjust halting code in bot.pl

2008-09-24 00:05 (UTC)

General:

Detect page protection when getting the edit token.
Add <source> to nowiki stripper.

TemplateReplacer3:

Seems to be completed.

2008-09-21 04:10 (UTC)

General:

Adjust framework to support multiple "instances" within the bot, so tasks may run in parallel with each other.
Add the ability for individual tasks to have sections in the config file.
Only count successful edits towards the trial edit limit.

2008-09-20 20:20 (UTC)

General:

Change to SQLite instead of AnyDBM_File for storing persistent data.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Second supplemental task approved!

TemplateReplacer3:

Approved!

SourceUploader:

Add support for supplemental BRFAs in the metadata, so OrphanReferenceFixer can show up correctly.

WatchlistUpdater:

The fix for bugzilla:15471 is finally live, remove workaround.

2008-09-18 23:17 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

More curly quote oddness.

2008-09-17 11:30 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer2:

Task completed.

2008-09-16 16:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Strip invalid parameters from unnamed refs with a body.

2008-09-16 13:06 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Fix some obviously incorrect reference bodies (only-whitespace and "Insert footnote text here").
Make a pattern non-greedy so it won't include trailing spaces in the quotes.

2008-09-15 02:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Add code for checking wikilinked articles for ref bodies, disabled pending BRFA.

General:

Sort tasks by an internal priority on startup.
edittoken now follows redirects by default; a new parameter overrides this. Note this changes the prototype of the function.

TemplateReplacer2:

Don't use the bot flag when posting to the talk page (in case I copy the code to a new task).

2008-09-13 20:55 (UTC)

General:

Fix fake return object for test-mode edit command.
Pass non-stripped template name from process_template.
process_template needs to detect | inside wikilinks for correct parsing.
New task, TemplateReplacer3.

2008-09-13 18:40 (UTC)

General:

Add <pre> to strip_nowiki.
Fix strip_nowiki to handle nested tags better.
Fix RCFeed.pm to better parse rc messages.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Avoid deleting large swaths of text when a vandal puts <ref ... (without the closing >) in the wikitext.

2008-09-13 02:00 (UTC)

General:

The template processor could end up with unreplaced <nowiki> tokens in the output. It's nice to know my plan worked to prevent edits when the bot tried to save that.

2008-09-13 01:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Add code to notice {{inuse}} (actually, the category it puts the page in) and not edit if the page has been touched in the last two hours.
Yet another b0rken ref special case: <ref name "foo">. Apparently on the 8th I only fixed <ref name>.

General:

Better error message for login failures.

2008-09-11 01:04 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

New function approved!

2008-09-08 11:46 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

I can't believe the software accepts <ref name "foo">, but it sort-of does (it sets name="name").

2008-09-08 02:58 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer2:

Speedily approved!

2008-09-08 01:32 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer2:

Add "Per request" to the messages.

2008-09-07 03:35 (UTC)

General:

Add use utf8 to the modules that didn't have it. Lacking it seems to cause issues with edit summaries containing non-ASCII characters.

2008-09-07 02:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

I can't believe someone actually used “” quotes in a ref tag, but they did.

2008-09-06 18:34 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

It seems that quoted tag attributes can't actually contain <, while unquoted tag attributes can contain all sorts of garbage. So adjust the regexen to take that into account.

2008-09-06 16:26 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Reduce logging verbosity.

2008-09-06 01:28 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

Add two more common screw-ups, mainly because otherwise the bot screws things up worse trying to fix it the normal way.

2008-09-05 17:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

In the new code, don't mark $moved if the ref was just found.

2008-09-05 17:00 (UTC)

General:

Add a $data parameter to process_templates.
New task: TemplateReplacer2.

OrphanReferenceFixer

More regex-screwup fixes.
Minor extra cleanup: <references> without </references> is now caught.
Add new code to fix another common category of errors: refs inside templates that end up not being rendered, which breaks uses elsewhere in the page.

2008-09-04 16:33 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

Adjust the regex to not screw up <ref name=foo bar/>.

2008-09-04 16:02 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

Add another common error: <ref name=foo bar> to <ref name="foo bar">

2008-09-04 14:20 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer:

Task completed.

2008-09-04 13:52 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

Try to avoid space-only changes.

2008-09-04 13:30 (UTC)

General:

When testing, ignore shutoff page.

OrphanReferenceFixer

BUGFIX: Adjust ref-finding regex so <ref name=foo bar>baz=quux</ref> will not think "name=foo bar>baz=quux</ref" is the parameter list of the ref tag ("name=foo bar" is).

2008-09-04 10:40 (UTC)

General:

Don't throw an error in AnomieBOT::API destructor when Perl destroys things out of order.

TemplateReplacer:

Approved!

OrphanReferenceFixer

Approved!

WatchlistUpdater:

Work around bugzilla:15471 for now.

2008-09-02 00:45 (UTC)

General:

Adjust template processor to trim whitespace from the template name and to handle removing the whole line when the template being removed it the entire content of the line.

TemplateReplacer:

Renumber WPBS/WPB when removing nested templates.

2008-08-31 23:12 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer:

Comment out tf code, since apparently it isn't actually needed.
BRFA filed.

2008-08-31 20:20 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer:

Remove dead code accidentally copied from OrphanReferenceFixer.
Canonicalize WPVG template name since we're editing it anyway.

OrphanReferenceFixer

Fix the "too recently" check to look at when it was broken and not when it was last good.
