COVID-19 cases in North America[edit]

@WikiMacaroons: Hello, I've had to revert an edit to the above template. The bot had changed dates in references to today's date, added today's date to references that didn't have a date set and it also broke one reference by deleting the ref tags and merging it with the following reference. Time to get the spanners (or hammer) out. - X201 (talk) 10:49, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops!

Self-trout Thanks for the tip, X201! Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 12:22, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Irish COVID rates[edit]

@WikiMacaroons:. Hello, it's me Edl-irishboy again. Thanks for fixing the issues I've explained to you before. And thanks for the barnstar! Sorry for bothering you again, but there's just one issue on the Irish COVID-19 rates again..... There's no such data of recoveries for Ireland so on the template, the recoveries space should be "no data". Thanks. Edl-irishboy (talk) 17:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Edl-irishboy: Ah, thanks very much for spotting that. You're right, there isn't any data on recoveries, I'll fix that, thanks again.

Incorrect page name[edit]

Hey WikiMacaroons. As of two days ago, the bot has been editing TemplateCOVID-19 cases in Asia incorrectly instead of Template:COVID-19 cases in Asia. A user tagged it for deletion, but I merged it into the proper template to preserve history. Please take a look. — The Earwig ⟨talk⟩ 00:32, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for pointing that out, The Earwig, I'll fix it ASAP. Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 10:03, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:COVID-19 cases in Africa errors[edit]

Hi Dapperbot, thanks for further automating the update of Template:COVID-19 cases in Africa. There are a couple of errors though:

'Equitorial Guinea' should be 'Equatorial Guinea'
'Comoros' should be 'the Comoros' Greenman (talk) 22:00, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
'Central African Republic' is described as 'Equitorial Guinea'.
Reunion and Mayotte don't have commas separating the thousands. See this edit for a diff with all fixes. Greenman (talk) 22:19, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the bot keeps removing the scope attributes added for accessibility. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 01:52, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JohnFromPinckney: @Greenman: Ah, thank you for alerting me of these errors. I appreciate the vigilance, I'll try and fix them ASAP. Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 09:05, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dapperbot, please compare the diffs - the country name formatting should not be centred, and Saint Helena was also removed. Also, the link for reporting errors in the edit summary does not work. Greenman (talk) 21:55, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greenman, Apologies, and Thanks again for pointing this out. The latest update that the bot made should have resolved these issues. Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 18:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:COVID-19 cases in Oceania[edit]

Hi @WikiMacaroons:, Dapperbot keeps reverting any updates to Template:COVID-19 cases in Oceania back to 19 March. This will cause confusion for readers. Please look into the matter. Andykatib 02:51, February 25, 2021 (UTC)

Andykatib, Hi, thanks for getting in touch. What do you mean when you say that the changes are being reverted back to 19 march? Do you mean the dates in the references, or the values? Thanks, Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 11:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WikiMacaroons, hi there. It's just the values or statistic figures that Dapperbot keeps reverting. Hope that helps clarify the situation. Andykatib 21:54, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worrier, WikiMacaroons, glad this has been fixed. Andykatib 09:00, February 25, 2021 (UTC)

Template:COVID-19 cases in Oceania, April 2021[edit]

Hi @WikiMacaroons:, Dapperbot has started reversing updates to Template:COVID-19 cases in Oceania again. Some of the references will also need to be updated but haven't been able to find sources on most of the countries other than Australia and NZ. For now, will just focus on New Zealand. Thanks.
