Edit summary of bot edit

[edit]

Lowercase sigmabot III leaving edit summaries with parenthesis in a wrong way. i know that's not something serious issue with that bot, but maybe something which should to be fixed.kemel49(connect)(contri) 10:48, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @KEmel49: Where? IF there is a problem with an edit, always state which edit. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:08, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean the edit summary, that left by that bot. for example, see this edit summary: Archiving 4 discussion(s) to User talk:KEmel49/Archive 3) (bot.(See the use of parenthesis).––kemel49(connect)(contri) 13:21, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks fine to me. Which specfic part is the issue? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Use of Parenthesis ...Archive 3) (bot. Did you see that.––kemel49(connect)(contri) 15:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first one closes the parenthesis that reads, in full, "(Archiving 4 discussion(s) to User talk:KEmel49/Archive 3)"; the second one begins a separate parenthesis that reads, in full, "(bot)". They are the right way around. If they were flipped, you would have "(Archiving 4 discussion(s) to User talk:KEmel49/Archive 3( )bot)" which doesn't make sense. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:00, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See that original edit summary. missing the first and very last parenthesis.––kemel49(connect)(contri) 17:31, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The outermost pair of parentheses are generated by the MediaWiki software. I'm guessing that your skin is set to Minerva Neue, because in all other skins, the parentheses are shown. Try these links: Cologne Blue; MinervaNeue; Modern; MonoBook; Timeless; Vector (legacy); Vector (2022). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:41, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lowercase sigmabot III archiving glitch?

[edit]

Hi there. I was just looking back for an old RfC on Talk:Rishi Sunak/Archive 2 and I happened to notice that everything from April—November of last year seems to have disappeared from that archive? Did a little deep dive into the page history and noticed that all of it was still present as of this edit by the bot [1], but was removed by the time of this one [2], and yet the removal isn't shown in the difference between the two edits [3]. Not sure if this is a glitch with the bot or just something I'm missing, but I figured it was best to bring it to your attention. Thanks, estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:12, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Estar8806: It's nothing to do with lowercase sigmabot III. The clue is at the bottom of your second diff, in the section headed "Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 13 April 2023" where we see the big red error message Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).. You'll also notice that in that section, there's a big gap between the timestamps. The thing about unclosed <ref> tags is that they attempt to pair up with the next </ref> tag, even if that is miles away down the page and actually belongs to a completely different <ref> tag - this pairing effectively hides the content between them. This edit fixes it for the present version, but it can't be applied retrospectively. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:05, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not use it correctly

[edit]

Hi, I wanted to archive the talk page of Talk:Andreas_Papandreou. I placed the template and the bot [the archive] to a page Talk:Andreas_Papandreou/Archive2. However, there is no Achieve box with the appropriate link(s) at the talk page to this newly created archive page. What have I missed? I really appreciate any help you can provide. A.Cython (talk) 01:14, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A.Cython: Basically, see thread below: it's the same cause. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your quick response. I have fixed the counter value from 2 to 1. However, I do not know how to rename the paper Talk:Andreas_Papandreou/Archive 2 without a redirect. I do not have the administrative privileges. Is there another way or how to get these privileges in order to fix this? A.Cython (talk) 14:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@A.Cython: I moved it w/o redir; there were no inward links to fix. As for the archive box, that needs to be added manually, which I've done. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! A.Cython (talk) 20:00, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:New Zealand Wars

[edit]

In January 2024 someone set up auto-archiving for Talk:New Zealand Wars. Lowercase sigmabot III created Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 2, but there is no Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 1. And there is nothing I can see at Talk:New Zealand Wars that indicates that any archive exists – I only chanced on it by looking at the history. Surely this is not how things are supposed to work, but I am not familiar with how to make it work correctly. Thank you in anticipation. Nurg (talk) 01:47, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nurg: That was Riposte97 (talk · contribs) who set a wrong value for |counter= in this edit. What you need to do is adjust |counter=2 to |counter=1, move Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 2 to Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 1 without leaving a redirect, and fix up all inward links to that archive. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. All fixed. Nurg (talk) 09:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies both. Riposte97 (talk) 09:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
