Someone vandalised the Pterosaurs article...
[edit]Some creationist-promoter vandalised the pterosaurs page by deliberately inserting false and inaccurate information https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pterosaur&diff=prev&oldid=1235559410 . Can you please revert and fix the issue? BoiaBoiaMans (talk) 00:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @BoiaBoiaMans: ClueBot NG is a bot and not a human, and cannot respond to these queries. If you see vandalism, please revert it yourself. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 15:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Archive page not conforming to format
[edit]Hello, I am trying to activate ClueBot III on this archive where it should be listed here. Is there a tag I can use to have it indexed and listed on the main talk page, or does it have to conform to format=Y? Is there a recommended workaround if not? Tule-hog (talk) 02:02, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- It appears to have worked fine, just needed to wait a while. Tule-hog (talk) 08:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

ResolvedProcedure when a page is moved
[edit]Hello, I recently moved Steph Scully from Talk:Stephanie Scully to Talk:Steph Scully and it appears this move broke the ClueBot III archiving template. I tried to fix it by chanigng the page name in the template, but it did not seem to work. Would creating redirects for the archive pages fix it? Do I need to move and edit ClueBot's index as well? I guess what I am asking is, Is there a procedure somewhere for the proper steps to take when a page archived by this bot is moved to avoid this? Bensci54 (talk) 17:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I suppose the existing archive pages are still at the old location, so you'll need to move them too? Gawaon (talk) 17:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I did move them at the same time, yes. I ended up moving the ClueBot Index and redoing the links on the Index. The archive section of the talk page is now showing links properly again.
- I didn't touch the detailed index, etc, though, will that cause any issues? Bensci54 (talk) 19:45, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Failed archive on ClueBot III
[edit]For some reason this section was skipped by ClueBot III upon archiving a talk page. Is there a way to force-include it into the archive batch ClueBot made? Tule-hog (talk) 22:25, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Similarly for this section. Tule-hog (talk) 02:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I had the same problem on my user talk page. Asked about it here a short while ago, but got so response. So I installed User:Elli/OneClickArchiver to archive these sections manually. Not the most satisfying solution, but it works. Still I too would like to know why ClueBot fails to get the clue sometimes. Gawaon (talk) 05:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
