HBC AIV helperbot14 is down?

There are a bunch of actioned reports at UAA and AIV that the bot hasn't cleared yet. It last edited 5 hours ago. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the bot logs, and it seems the job was terminated because of a maxlag timeout. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer restarted. Continuous flag set so this shouldn't happen again. interesting maxlag has only started peaking again in the last few days! Mdann52 (talk) 12:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for restarting it. I was planning to use my bot as a backup until yours was back up. If you ever need a co-maintainer for it, I'd be happy to help out. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:01, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The bot appears to be down again as of 18:37, 27 October 2024 UTC. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@K6ka heya - bot isn't down. Server lag is currently coming back as 39182s, so it's backing off every edit automatically as a result (see mw:Manual:Maxlag parameter. I'll bypass this check for now and make sure this is reported. Mdann52 (talk) 05:49, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've poked the WMF Ops peeps, the errant replica has been killed, everything is back to working normally. Mdann52 (talk) 06:08, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RetractionBot on other wikis

Hello, I was speaking with SamWalton9 who informed me that you're now running RetractionBot. I was wondering if you would be willing to run this bot on other wikis, particularly frwiki. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. I see on the repository on GitHub that most of the work has already been done, though a few changes should still be made (edit comments in other languages, etc.). I could help with the process of creating the template, the categories, the translations and also getting the consensus to get the bot tag (is it even required? The volume of edits should be relatively low).

Thanks in advance, 🐢 Monsieur Tortue (💬) 21:21, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr Tortue: - morning, yep I'm happy to get multi-lingual support added. If you can either pop a PR into the bot_settings.yml file in the Gitlab folder, or drop me an email with the localised changes that need to be made, I'll get that sorted.

I'm not sure how the frwiki bot process works, so I'll have to read up on that. I'd prefer to have the bot approved just because it avoids issues down the line as this doesn't run in an attended fashion. Mdann52 (talk) 16:10, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
