This is the combined talk page for ClueBot NG and ClueBot III. These users are automated computer programs and are not humans. Please be aware that bots cannot think like a human and cannot operate outside of their programming. Messages you leave on this talk page will not be answered by a bot – either a bot operator or another human will answer you.
Stop False positives and false negatives
If you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.
If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor.

Hidden notes to explain units in Cluebot III wikitext

[edit]

Please see: Template talk:Setup cluebot archiving#Hidden notes explaining units.

Do you think you might consider adjusting the bot code to allow hidden notes to explain the units?

Or maybe allow unit notes within parentheses. --Timeshifter (talk) 16:10, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ClueBot III making an early archival

[edit]

ClueBot III archived a couple week-old discussions here despite having |age=2160. Is this a bug? Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 17:14, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The bot archived threads so that the number of threads on the talk page was 1 so |maxkeepthreads=1 was honored as configured on the page. Admittedly, that seems like a rather odd way to configure the bot. maxkeepthreads is really designed to be set to something high to stop a talk page from having too many threads. — Naomi Amethyst 17:29, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah that explains it, thanks for the quick explanation. I've raised it to 10removed the parameter entirely to prevent this in the future. Probably no need to revert though as the only sections archived were a {{please see}} and a malformed paragraph. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 17:38, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
