Bot-like editor making incorrect reports

Hello Legoktm. Recently you unblocked this IP with the message 'Don't block internal IPs.' But it isn't just a bot editing logged out (which would be confusing but tolerable) but it was removing AIV reports incorrectly. It was announcing that IPs were blocked that were not blocked. For example, this edit. It caught my eye because it said a certain IP was *indefinitely* blocked by User:Gilliam. In fact it had not been blocked at all by Gilliam:

I went ahead and issued my own block of the 103.251 vandal, but if 10.68.16.57 starts making mistakes again it needs to be blocked under the bot policy, in my opinion. User:Nakon is the admin who issued the previous block of 10.68. EdJohnston (talk) 02:14, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

That's an internal IP address which points to the wmflabs cluster. But if you block it, it will start causing collateral damage due to XFF blocking (see User_talk:Anomie/Archives/2013#10.111.0.0.2F16). Bots should be using mw:API:Assert if they shouldn't be editing while logged out. Legoktm (talk) 16:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

GA Cup

Hey Legoktm, I was wondering if you could do something for me. Would you be able to add a task to Legobot to help us with the GA Cup. It shouldn't be a lot of work (probably the same amount of code as when you added the task for the Recruitment Center). If you have the time/interested I'll give you more details. It would be greatly apprecited. The first GA Cup was a success and we are hoping for it to become bigger this year! :) --Dom497 (talk) 23:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Request: Speed up the GA oldid adding function

The edit category GA without oldid is getting large. Could you check to make sure the bot is still updating these articles, and if possible speed up the function to clean out the category? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onegoofy (talkcontribs) 02:45, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

It's borked :/. I'll do some debugging of it later. 76.254.58.111 (talk) 18:26, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
Ok, working now. It's running on my laptop for now and tomorrow I'll fix it on tool labs. 76.254.58.111 (talk) 06:54, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
The category has shrunk considerably. Thanks for adding a little WD-40 to get the bot running smoothly again. Onegoofy (talk) 02:54, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Legobot not marking CHU/S requests as done

Could you take a look at see why Legobot is not marking my completed requests as done? I remember there being a capitalization issue but that doesn't seem to be the case on recent failures-to-mark (eg). –xenotalk 18:36, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
