The Technical Barnstar |
Long overdue from me. Just wanted to show my appreciation of your hard work with the Cyberbots and edit counter, which in my opinion have become nearly vital to the project. — MusikAnimal talk 21:24, 1 May 2014 (UTC) |
- Thank you.—cyberpower ChatOnline 01:55, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Ttongsul AfD
I was 'transcluding' it (step3), but you turned out to be faster haha (it's my first time doing this). Well thanks :)Ryohka (talk) 06:29, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- That would be my faithful bot. Good to know it's still doing its job.—cyberpower ChatOnline 01:55, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Suggestion for Supercount
Just a suggestion for Supercount (great tool by the way). For the "most edited pages, under the article namespace, can the links be made to say, for example, Main Page rather than :Main Page? Just for consistency with the old tool. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:46, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oink?—cyberpower ChatOnline 11:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
another suggestion
It would nice to have the admin action statistics integrated also. DGG ( talk ) 03:05, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Edit counter opt-in/opt-out
Hi, I've like to opt-out but can't figure out how. I tried to db-g7 the page but it's not editable. Is there a way of opting out of the edit counter once opted in? Thanks. Victoria (tk) 00:00, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Blank the optin page.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:01, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
Opting in
The User Analysis tool says: "To opt in please create User:D'Ranged 1/EditCounterOptIn.js". However, neither on the main page nor in the FAQ section does it explain how to do so. In order to create the page, it must have some text/code. I created the page with the text "EditCounterOptIn.js"; is this correct? More explicit instructions would be helpful; even better would be to have a clickable link to create the page automatically with the proper text. Thanks!—D'Ranged 1 talk 22:12, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- It's correct.—cyberpower ChatOnline 23:05, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm adding my hearty agreement with the above comment:
- I've edited Wikipedia for over 8 years, but I haven't the vaguest idea of what this notification -- which appears on my Edit Counts page -- is referring to:
"
- Useful Info:
- Consensus for this wiki, was to remove optin. Removal of the optin has been delayed, pending a decision from the foundation.
- Not Opted In:
- This user is not opted in. As a result, monthly counts are not available, top pages edited are not available.
- To opt in please create User:Daqu/EditCounterOptIn.js on your local wiki or create User:Daqu/EditCounterGlobalOptIn.js on meta.wikimedia.org.
"
- So just for those of us editors who have not received their Ph.D. in Wikipedia yet, it would be terrific if there were a link to an explanatory page. As mentioned above, the FAQ is of no help in that regard.
- Now that I think of it, there are many words and abbreviations that some editors more experienced than I toss about with abandon. Is there anywhere that I can go to look up what they are talking about? ThanksDaqu (talk) 01:04, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
User Analysis Tool: User name not working
Hi Cyberpower678, the user name "killer_queen1" is not working. There appears a warning saying: Not a user: Call me silly, but this user doesn't seem to exist. Project is "de.wikipedia".

Book reports
Hello Cyberpower, is your bot not running the book reports anymore? —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 07:27, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- It should be, has it not been running?—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:00, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Cyberpower:, it has not generated the book reports for a long time. Can you please check? —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 08:20, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm too busy with finals. I'll check tomorrow, when finals are done.—cyberpower ChatOnline 14:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Cyberpower678:, did you get a chance to look into the matter? —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:52, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, bu I haven't had the chance to fix it. I'll fix it in a few hours and let it do a run.—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:21, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- @C678:, I would really hate to be a pain-in-the-butt like this, but I was expecting that the issue would have been resolved and the bot would have run on the reports. Did you get a chance to run the bot? I would like to have a clear understanding of the issue, what exactly is holding the bot? Its running around all of Wikipedia for every other job though. If I knew how to operate these bots, I would have loved to propose one. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 11:19, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- The task is crashing from an assert failure. Something about the check to prevent logged out editing has gone wrong. I don't currently have the internet to fix it. Also, please don't ping me on my talk page. It spams my inbox.—cyberpower ChatLimited Access 15:24, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Fixed and gave it a kick. It's happily updating the reports now.—cyberpower ChatOnline 21:06, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

AfD Message
The discussion on the article is closed. Why do you, and people, keep re-inserting it? Jonas Vinther (talk) 23:10, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I have no idea what you're talking about.—cyberpower ChatOnline 23:12, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- The AfD message you re-inserted on the "Hitler's Warriors" article. Jonas Vinther (talk) 23:17, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I did no such thing.—cyberpower ChatOnline 23:18, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm... The article's page history says so? Jonas Vinther (talk) 23:23, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- The article's history says my bot did it because the AfD discussion is still open.—cyberpower ChatOnline 23:24, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

The discussion has been closed, with a consensus to remove the opt-in requirement. However, the tool still displays the message "This user is not opted in. As a result, monthly counts are not available, top pages edited are not available." for certain users (such as Jimbo). Can the tool be changed now, and can the consensus of the discussion be implemented now? Thank you. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:39, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
P.S. Sorry if I didn't make this clearer in my earlier request, but this is what I intended to say. In X!'s old tool, under "Top Pages edited", when hovering on the hyperlink, the link would show as, for example, [1]. However, the current tool instead displays [2] (with a colon before the article's title), which of course still links to the main page, but it would be nice if, for consistency with the old tool, if it could display as http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Main_Page.
Finally, can a feature be added to Supercount to replace the Top Edits tool?
- Patience, please. I'm busy with real life, AKA a final exam that I have coming up. Also, some users have decided to get the foundation involved, so now I am waiting to hear from them.—cyberpower ChatOnline 04:23, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- The user analysis tool already covers that tool, with the exception that it truncates it at 10 pages per namespaces. A feature will be added to allow the option to specify a number or 0 for infinite. If the links work, no sense in changing them.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:18, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Help
There is AFCH error in my page. Please correct it.--prathamprakash29 16:35, 7 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prathamprakash29 (talk • contribs)
- (talk page stalker) @Prathamprakash29: A whitelist feature implemented recently requires you to add yourself to the WikiProject AfC participants list to use AfCH. I assume that's your problem. --AmaryllisGardener talk 14:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Used data location
Hello Cyberpower 678! The user analysis tool you developed is beautiful, and very useable. I've been thinking recently about editor retention (Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Editor_Retention) and would like to gather some data about users [a]. I was wondering where you get the data for the analysis tool from, and if it is able to be used in an easy way by someone without a coding background? I hope this is the start of a conversation, and to hear from you soon. Kind regards, --LT910001 (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
- ^ such as a user's edit counts, first edit, and most recent edit
- The user analysis tool has an API that you can take advantage of to get the same data. Here it is. XML is borked at the moment though, but the other formats work. That's the easiest way to get to the data at hand.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
xtools source
PUT IT ON GITHUB! =] ·addshore· talk to me! 23:43, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
- xtools /is/ already on github :p (as you may have noticed in the footer). Atm the code is in rewrite process to include all legacy X!, TParis and SoxRed modules with the current xtools GUI (and finish the migration from toolserver) - also to add I18n support via Intuition / translatewiki.net.
- While CP is working on supercount, to make it even more fancy, I have an eye on the legacy stuff. --Hedonil (talk) 22:44, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
supercount's i18n
Hi. Thank you for the nice tool. How can I translate the interface of the tool? Perhaps you can make l10n of the tool available at translatewiki.net or provide another way for it? --ᛒᚨᛊᛖ (ᛏᚨᛚᚲ) 11:57, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Bot not clerking RfPP
Hey there! The bot seems to have stopped clerking at RfPP. Last clerk was at 01.37 13 May, so 12+ hours ago. Seems to be online as it's doing other things, so not sure what's happened. If youo have a chance to look at it, that would be great (I'll check to see if someone's altered a header or something) GedUK 12:57, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
- Well, it's working again now it seems, so thanks! GedUK 13:15, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Editcount discrepancy
Hi Cyberpower678, I found your name in the FAQ of the editcount tool. I have found a strange discrepancy I would like to put forward. When I count my edits on Wikimedia Commons with the editcount tool, it gives a very high number of 7800 [3], while my actual editcount is 3800 [4]. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 08:06, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- I have done some looking into it. This brings me back to an earlier discussion where the wikimedia databases don't accurately count the number of edits a user has. The databases store an edit count with each user. The SUL tool, which I also happen to be a maintainer of, uses that number, since it's counting 700+ projects. My tool actually counts the contributions. With that being said, you do indeed have 7800 edits on commons, and it can easily be confirmed by setting the contributions limit to 5000 when looking up your contribs. You will see that there is a page 2, meaning you have 5000+ edits to commons. Cheers.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your reply. That is news to me. I somehow gained 4000 edits. Cheers, Taketa (talk) 15:17, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- All the more reason to use the user analysis tool as THE official tool. :D—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:19, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect warning?
Hi. I'm trying to figure out why this warning was placed on my talk page. That edit was me removing the AfD template as part of my close of a discussion. It also happened two months ago. Perhaps cyberbot is confused? -- RoySmith (talk) 17:21, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- It's too stale to figure out. Ping me again if it happens again.—cyberpower ChatOnline 16:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

AfD tables stagnant
Hey cyber—noticed that the AfD tables (which I use very often so I really appreciate your maintaining them, e.g., User:Cyberbot I/AfD's requiring attention) haven't updated in something like five days. Thought I'd let you know since this is somewhat abnormal czar ♔ 16:57, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Cyberpower. Any chance your bot could archive Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure when a thread is marked with a Done? Cheers, Number 57 13:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- I should be able to whip a script to handle that.—cyberpower ChatOnline 14:47, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

XTools overhaul
Hi, Cyberpower678,
As part of finishing the migration of xtools from toolserver to toollabs, I gave xtools' code a general overhaul, while you are working *hard* on the new supercount tool. Now that state is close to release, I want to inform you, as one of the main coders, about the upcoming relaunch. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
- http://tools.wmflabs.org/newwebtest/articleinfo/ preview (may occasionally be in debug mode, as I'm currently working on it)

Monthly Stats in supercount
Hi. What about having monthly stats in a revers order, where the most recent are on the top of page. I think generally we are looking for recent stats and now we have to scroll down to desired month. Blackfish (talk) 11:08, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
- We always had to scroll down, but I can change it.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:21, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Top edited pages bug
Some obsessive wikipedians have edited 10,000 or more pages. When page limit is set to zero for them the 4-digit page sequence number goes up to 9999 and then restarts at 0000. On the other hand, the value of the last part of the list for this type of user, long-forgotten pages with a single edit, is questionable. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:51, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- You need to provide me a link and I'm not sure I understand the second part of your statement.—cyberpower ChatOnline 15:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- https://tools.wmflabs.org/supercount/index.php?user=Aymatth2&project=en.wikipedia&toplimit=0 Click "Top edited pages" tab. Wait a while. Search for "Richard Okonye"
- Fixing it should be very low priority − I can't think of a use for the apparently random list of single-edit pages. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:45, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Well, when calling infinity, you can see every page the user has ever edited. As for the counter resetting, it's not resetting but running off of the margins the page.—cyberpower ChatOnline 17:51, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Right. 26,299 in this case. There is maybe a sort of interest in seeing all pages edited in some namespaces. I can't think of any reason to browse through the list of mainspace pages edited. Very low priority. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:09, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Cyberbot II said, "Cyberbot II has detected that page contains...." I think that it ought to put something between "that" and "page", such as "this". Also, it said "it's", when it meant "its".

Thank u! I appreciate that you corrected the information and the airdate because I know I wasn't wrong because Ryulong was not being reasonable and keeps undoing my edits.--Funnycoolman (talk) 21:54, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- You're welcome. He wasn't being unreasonable, though. You didn't provide a reliable source to back the claims of those air dates. When I looked up an TV provider, I saw those episodes in the channel line and made a comment in the edit summary stating where the information came from. That's all that needs to be done.—cyberpower ChatOnline 21:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Minor Edit Count Pie Chart Bug
I found a silly bug in the edit count application that is nonessential for you to fix, but should probably be ameliorated. Take a look at the pie chart at https://tools.wmflabs.org/supercount/index.php?user=Aymatth2&project=en.wikipedia&toplimit=0. When I repeatedly move the mouse back and forth over a section on the pie chart, it grows larger every time I do so. Though this bug does not really cause any problems, it is sometimes annoying. Tell me if you are unable to replicate the error. Thanks Piguy101 (talk) 22:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/20/Edit_counter_pie_chart_bug_2014.jpg/220px-Edit_counter_pie_chart_bug_2014.jpg)
- Yea I know about it, and nothing really I can or am going to do about it since I find rather amusing and sometimes, when I'm really bored, entertaining. It's a fun little bug.—cyberpower ChatOnline 22:44, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- That comment made me laugh! Truly, it is probably more work debugging the code to find a solution than just leaving it be since it doesn't cause much issue. Thanks Piguy101 (talk) 22:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- :-)—cyberpower ChatOnline 22:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- That's a feature! It, um, clearly associates the new selection with the appropriate emboldened percentage on the right. Now if it could also produce the Nokia ring-tone, that might be annoying. NebY (talk) 23:13, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Controlling pages per namespace
Congratulations! the new control feature to set the number of pages per namespace is very useful. I would be very nice if this feature could be set by the user to permanently display the desire number of pages. Or I did something wrong? Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 04:07, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- That would require cookies or a user setup. OAuth is on the todo list and that'll allow me to easily implement preferences.—cyberpower ChatOnline 11:41, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- I had the same thought. Thanks. And thanks for implementing it (I was the one who suggested it). However, it could use a little instruction on how to do it (for those not very tech savvy). --Musdan77 (talk) 19:32, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Edit Count Tool
Greetings. Being a rather narcissistic user, I make frequent use of your tool; today, though, I find the new version doesn't seem to work for me. I click on the tool from my contribs page, use the default option of "10," at hit submit, and the tool simply returns me to the same page. It does the same, no matter what number I tried. Am I missing something, or is this a bug? Cheers, Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:57, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Zielfahrzeug68
Hello, I saw you changed my edit on Zielfahrzeug68. I tried to protect this page, because It was attaked by non regitered users. I think it need a protection, but i don't konw how to do this. Thank you FLORAKO (talk) 08:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Pages aren't protected by simply placing a template. An administrator needs to do that for you. My bot came by and removed the template. The templates that are placed there simply alert users that they are protected, and by no means protect the page in question. To get the page protected, go to WP:RFPP and follow the directions on the top to request protection. Cheers.—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:46, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Supercount tool suggestion
A suggestion for your Supercount tool. Could it display the "Monthly Stats" in the reverse order, i.e., most recent month first, in descending date order? I think this would be a more useful display, especially for long-time users, who have to scroll down quite a bit to find their most recent editing activity. — Loadmaster (talk) 17:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

I love the look and feel of the tools, now. You've added a ton of features and I find the whole suite to be very useful and intuitive. I love the cross-tool-links which make it crazy easy to navigate to exactly the information I am looking for. The added speed of the tools is also no joke, they just pop up with hardly any loading. The stats that you've improved upon on the edit counter, to include admin states, are just incredible. Thank you for all of your hard work, you are definitely talented. v/r - TP 22:43, 2 June 2014 (UTC) |
- You should be thanking Hedonil for that hard work. I've been primarily focused on the new edit counter.—cyberpower ChatOnline 22:56, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll copy it over there too.--v/r - TP 23:07, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Overriding the default parameters to articleinfo
G'day Cyberpower678. With the articleinfo tool, I am trying to feed it wiki=wikisource
with an empty article=
so that it shows up with a completed field for enWS, however, the domain always fills with wikipedia
. Is this me doing something wrong, or is that the default is not able to be overwritten by the demonstrated means? Thanks for the tool. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:47, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- Looks like a bug.—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
another supercount feature idea
I'm wondering if more granularity than monthly stats could be generated by the tool, perhaps with each month being a link to weekly and day-by-day graphs. VanIsaacWScont 22:35, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- That would cause a tremendous increase in load times. It's something I'll consider for the deep analysis update that I am working on.—cyberpower ChatOnline 22:47, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
FAQ needs to be updated
Hey, I noticed that the FAQ question where it talks about "not opting in" has not been changed to reflect the change whereas users who have not chosen to opt out have automatically "opted in". I just wasn't sure if you had noticed this, so I thought I would mention it. Dustin (talk) 01:44, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- It updates automatically. Not sure what you're saying.—cyberpower ChatOnline 02:51, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I would suggest that you read this more thoroughly; I was talking about one of the FAQ questions in the FAQ tab of your tool. Dustin (talk) 20:29, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I read it. And I still stand by my answer. The FAQ questions regarding optin is based on the opt status of the wiki in question. I see nothing wrong with the FAQ.—cyberpower ChatOnline 20:30, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- Your answer just a minute ago seemed much more understanding than your first answer. You were acting like I was saying that your edit counter should keep on updating the count, which was not even close to what I was saying (and of course I am aware it updates automatically). Your answer just a moment ago, however, actually answered my question (except the "you stand by your answer" part). The reason is that the same notice is displayed for multiple wikis, not all of which require one to opt out; that answers my question. You aren't really standing by your original answer, which was nothing more than confusion as far as I can tell. In any case, thanks for the reply; your tool allows for keeping track of editing stats that would be very difficult to keep track of otherwise. Dustin (talk) 20:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry. I'm doing a million things at once right now. Wiki work, ACC work, clearing out 100's of GBs from my personal server, tool work, bot work, etc... :p BTW, none of the wikis are opt out. Every wiki but this one are optin wikis, and this wiki is forced optin for everyone without any way to opt out.—cyberpower ChatOnline 20:44, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought that you were able to opt out on en but were automatically opted in otherwise... in any case, thanks for the reply. Dustin (talk) 20:55, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Edit count tool question
The edit count tool is still defunct. Since the move from Toolserver, the box with the pie graph has a solid black background making the dark coloured text unreadable, (without pressing ctrl-A to select-all/highlight it). There is still a major memory leak in the script which causes my CPU usage to peg out at 100%, and in Windows Task Manager, the MemUsage and VMsize just keep climbing until some point above 90,000 K when a notice appears asking if I want to abort the script before my computer becomes "unresponsive". It is then necessary to kill the browser process for that page. The old toolserver version had none of these problems and was pretty much flawless AFAICT. Any chance you can put the old edit count version up as an alternative until you fix the "super" version?
Cheers. —Telpardec TALK 03:27, 5 June 2014 (UTC) (Windows XP - IE6)
- That bug was fixed a while ago, and I am not getting any of those issues you mentioned. You should consider upgrading your browser as you are 5 generations out of date. A link to the tool that is causing the bug is helpful.—cyberpower ChatOnline 11:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Bot feature suggestion
I saw this edit on Nigel Farage, where a bot you operate removed a protection template from a page. It's true that the page was no longer under pending changes protection, but the admin who removed that setting replaced it with indefinite semi-protection. Would it be reasonable for the bot to notice that, and swap to a more appropriate protection template, rather than removing it outright? Just a suggestion. 132.241.49.115 (talk) 20:24, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- A different bot handles that. My bot only does pending changes.—cyberpower ChatOnline 20:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Current AFD List
In looking at the Current AFD List, administrated by your bot, I noticed that AFD's closed as early as May have not been removed from the list. In fact, the bot seems to be adding new AFD's, but not removing old and closed ones. I'm going to work on removing old, closed AFD's, but you might wish to see weather your bot is malfunctioning in some way. Buffalutheran (talk) 05:32, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm... I'll have to look into that. If it's not removing them, then you removing them will be fruitless as they are stored in the bot's internally memory, and not being removed.—cyberpower ChatOnline 11:39, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Template:RFPP
It said to let you know if I made a change to the template because it is used by your bot, here I bypassed a redirect, it shouldn't have any effect, but the redirect bothered my OCD :) --kelapstick(bainuu) 11:35, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

On my account, even when I had got that file deleted, it keeps showing the top edited pages, talk pages, etc on the supercount tool. How to disable them? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.104.12.34 (talk) 11:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

- You can get to it through the URL, but if you have a name with a space in it, the front page that he's linked to doesn't work. I also had that issue yesterday. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Don't replace the spaces with underscores. Leave the spaces as they are, but I'll have it handle underscores in my next update.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't replace the space with an underscore. I typed it in as "Sven Manguard" and it said I didn't exist. It worked before, and if I go straight to the web address by calling up my browsing history, I can get to it from there. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting both worked for me when I typed in your username. I wonder what could be happening. It could be the way the browser handles spaces.—cyberpower ChatOnline 12:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Interesting bot bug
I've just noticed Cyberbot reinstating a removed AfD tag (definitely a useful thing to be doing!) and then leaving a warning not to remove tags... [https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Rahul_Productions&diff=prev&oldid=612909692 on the article page itselfl. Probably not quite what was intended ;-) Andrew Gray (talk) 23:07, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- The user that removed the tag was User:Doburhoney and their talk page redirects back to the article and so the bot when trying to notify the user landed back to the article.—cyberpower ChatOnline 23:13, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think it is good practice to redirect user pages to articles, so would it be better to just overwrite the page? Or perhaps just remove the redirect line of code, and then add the intended section? This isn't my discussion, but I thought I should say something, so yeah. Dustin (talk) 23:46, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'd rather not. That should be left to human editors.—cyberpower ChatOnline 00:09, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

A (partial) suggestion
Just wanted to pass this by, see if it's feasible or not and yes I did ask about this before but noticed you were busy at the time so waited until you were able to give a response. When Cyberbot I leaves a message regarding requests marked as protected though haven't actually been protected on RFPP could it also ping the protecting admin so they'd be able to do something? Don't know about if it'd be seen as an irritation or a reasonable idea, just felt to ask you first if it's technically possible (can't see why not but need to confirm) and if it's a good idea before polling opinion on WT:RFPP. Also, the RFPP task might need a restart currently. tutterMouse (talk) 11:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- Look, if you're just going to stonewall my idea again then fine but at least get the bot clerking RFPP please. tutterMouse (talk) 06:43, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not stonewalling it. I wrote a response to this, which for some reason didn't apparently. I think it's a great idea and it's doable. I'll work on an update.—cyberpower ChatOnline 13:56, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, that's good to hear and apologies for accusing you of stonewalling, I was tense at the time for unrelated reasons. The bot task is a bit of a concern too as sometimes it stops functioning like it has for a day or so and we don't know if it's caught in some loop or something markup related and can't really diagnose it and kick it back into functioning without doing some manual archiving or having to ask you to get it going again. I guess what I'm wondering is if there's any way such as a status page where we can find out what might be stopping it when it stops? It'd save a few headaches and would cut a lot of tooling around by myself at least before I come see you. Again, apologies for earlier. tutterMouse (talk) 16:43, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Cyberbot logs it's activities. This was caused by a logout, and Peachy is designed to prevent logged out editing, so that's why it stopped. I'm getting ready to deploy an update for Peachy to allow it to log back in if it detects errors like these. The logs are externally accessible here.—cyberpower ChatOnline 16:58, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Good to see it wasn't something more critical and those logs will be helpful in future, thanks. tutterMouse (talk) 18:57, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- I just deployed the update to Peachy here. Peachy should be able to recover on it's own now.

- Something weird happened. The log reports the bot trying to use the userrights token, which makes no sense, and that it was blocked, which also doesn't make sense. It could be that the core framework underwent several updates and it's been in continuous operation during that time and caused conflicting issues. I rebooted it and it fixed it. It should be using the newly applied update to Peachy, which improves stability, and remain a bit more stable.—cyberpower ChatOnline 14:12, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Average edits per day
Can you please make sure that "Average edits per day: " are added in "X!'s tools" for user accounts eg (http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/ec/?user=David%20Hedlund&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia) under General statistics?
Everyone wants to know this and the number of edits per day are wildly discussed all over Wikipedia. --David Hedlund (talk) 17:17, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
User Analysis Tool suggestion
Seeing the new multiple accounts feature made me realize that a multiple wikis feature would be pretty great too. It could be done either just like the accounts ("en|es|commons") or as a global count. Just an idea. Thanks. —Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 01:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
- That will require a litte more doing, and possibly a rewrite of the entire engine.—cyberpower ChatOnline 01:59, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
- Ooh, that doesn't sound very fun. Maybe one wiki at a time is enough. Thanks anyway, especially for the fast reply. —Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 02:01, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
- While it is feasible. Retrieving multiple accounts from one database as compared to multiple wikis on different databases, and sometimes even different server clusters, is a little more difficult to implement when trying to keep resource and time consumption low. However, I am working on an SUL extension, that will allow. It to retrieve global stats.—cyberpower ChatOnline 02:07, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the mishap about the Pokemon XY episodes. I was only trying to help.

Hi, Cyberpower678. The article info tool, of which you are one of the maintainers, doesn't provide proper links to usernames with two or more words in the 'Top editors' section. For example, see here the link to Graph sas' user page on eswiki. Kind regards, LlamaAl (talk) 01:39, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

- You could also make a lua module that makes use of the supercount API. It will also allow people to add unlimited users.—cyberpower ChatOnline 13:07, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- Some points:
- I'm not familiar with Lua to be able to do that at this point.
- I'm not sure that there would be any need to have it do more than five usernames (how many accounts should one person really have anyways?)
- Is there any documentation on the API? Could a module be written to insert the actual count as the label instead of just "supercount"?
