Autoarchive error message misformatted and truncated

At [1]:

Archive failure: ceterach.exceptions.EditError: 'spamblacklist': CeterachError('Your edit was not saved because it contains a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia\'s blacklist. * \'\'\'To save your changes now\'\'\', you must go back and \'\'remove the blocked link\'\' (shown below), and then save. **Note that if you used a redirection link or URL shortener (like e.g. \'\'\'goo.gl\'\'\', \'\'\'t.co\'\'\', \'\'\'youtu.be\'\'\', \'\...

There is a lot of escape-quoting of special characters that is not necessary in this context, which makes it hard to read. And the actual blocked link, something I'd want to fix to resolve this problem, is actually not "shown below" because the string overflows some field-size limit. Is there a more complete log of these failures somewhere? DMacks (talk) 07:31, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Lowercase sigmabot III archiving WP:BLPN threads quickly

I understand that you operate User:Lowercase sigmabot III. On 25 February 2020 it archived 5 WP:BLPN threads. Several signed posts in those threads have newest timestamps between 22 February 2020 and 25 February 2020, in fact the last one is timestamped 03:36, 25 February 2020 -- six minutes before Lowercase sigmabot III acted. WP:BLPN's Mizabot configuration includes the line: "algo = old(7d)" So, please, can you say why it did not wait 7 days? Not urgent. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:43, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Peter Gulutzan: In the diff that you gave, five threads were archived. For each of those, the most recent timestamp is as follows:

• Category:Climate change deniers: Again - 03:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
• Jared Kushner – father made $2.5M donation just before Harvard admission - 16:21, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
• Joseph Michelli - 02:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
• Heston Blumenthal - 01:00, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
• Somali Outlaws - 21:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

All of these are more than seven days earlier than the timestamp of the edit, 03:42, 25 February 2020 (UTC). If there is a problem, I fail to see it. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:56, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Redrose64 You are right, I made two mistakes: (1) I thought of my own edit of 21:49 22 February 2020. But I see now that no timestamp was added, probably I unknowingly used WP:3TILDES. (2) The more recent edits that I saw were actually outside the threads. I am sorry and I thank you for tolerating a time-wasting query. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 18:51, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Editor interaction analyser slow?

Hey Σ, I've noticed that the Editor Interaction Analyser is running slow. This search took 80.098 seconds. It's really the 0.098 that bothers me. Anyhow, thought I should report it to ya. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Got an error today:

Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:29, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: The speed is out of my hands, I'm afraid; the folks who run Toolforge have set up database access differently than Toolserver, the old tool-hosting system, did. A couple of the slowdowns have already been brought up to them.

It's something somewhat related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131266 which is one specific instance of this general problem. →Σσς. (Sigma) 07:53, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Also, I'm not very active on this site anymore, so if there's been any progress made then I'm not aware of it because nobody told me and I haven't had a chance to look for it. @Legoktm: might know a thing or two about how to revise the SQL queries I'm using. →Σσς. (Sigma) 07:55, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Question re Talk:Bird

Hi- The bot did not generate archive links in this edit to the Bird talkpage. Is it meant to generate those automatically? I added them manually just now: [2]. Eric ^talk 23:19, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) This is always a manual job. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, RR! The training continues... Good to hear from you. Eric ^talk 01:25, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
