NekoBot sometimes occurs various problems, and people ususally like to ask questions about why these problems happen, so this page will be kept up-to-date with questions and issues that appear, why they happened, how they've been fixed, and things like that!
Reports on User Talk
Q: NekoBot posted a notice on my talk page about a report on WP:AN3, what does that mean? A: The bot is simply notifying you that you've got a pending report for either Edit Warring or WP:3RR which has been opened by a fellow Wikipedian editor, but don't worry, you'll be able to get your chance to comment on that by clicking the link to the noticeboard which will take you directly to the report. You can make your comments regarding the situation there!
Q: I just got another notice from NekoBot about a report on WP:AN3! Didn't I already sort that? A: Well, there's two things that could have happened.. Firstly, you could have been reported again on the noticeboard if an editor thinks you've violated the policy, we do try to tell you everytime you get reported, so no matter how many times it happens, you'll get another notice every time. Secondly, it could have been a technical or database error, in this case, it's safe to assume there is no outstanding report against you, but it's best to check anyway!
Editing on WP:AN3
Q: So, why did NekoBot revert my edit on the noticeboard? A: This is most likely just a technical error, or maybe you got caught with an edit conflict and the bot's edit went through instead, either way, it would be useful if you could report the issue here so then I can fix it!
Q: What do you mean my report is malformed/misformatted? A: There's two types of malformed reports. "The report is formatted in a way that is unreadable by the automated processing system", this happens when the report header is valid, but is formatted in a way that the system can't understand, there's not much that can be done with that unless it's formatted in the style: == [[User:BadPerson1]] reported by [[User:Crashdoom]] ==. "The report is misformatted, or does not contain the information required by the report template.", this happens when the report header doesn't contain all of the information required, such as the user you're reporting or your username. In this case, take a look over the report you've made and make sure it contains everything it needs to!
