FACBot

Hey Hawkeye7, we just added a new FL delegate, Hey man im josh. The ancient closing instructions imply that the bot only closes nominations correctly if the template is placed on the nomination by a coordinator it recognizes. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is, then there's a new authorized closer at FLC it should know about. Also, thanks for all this bot does for us! --PresN 14:57, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The Bot figures out who the coordinators are by looking in Template:@FLC. You updated this to add the new coordinator, so everything should be fine. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:57, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey Hawkeye7, looks like FACBot hasn't closed anything at FLC or FAC since the 22nd. Don't know about FAC, but I promoted 4 lists (example) on the 24th, and it's run a couple times since then without doing any closes. --PresN 00:48, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Actually, looking at the above, on the 22nd the @FLC and @FAC templates got modified slightly (diff); don't know if that's at all related. --PresN 00:49, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I mentioned this to Gog the Mild on my talk—both Tiger and Genghis Khan were promoted on the 25th but the bot hasn't done its stuff. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:54, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is an error. I will investigate. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 09:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Y Found the problem and corrected it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:29, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

For size reasons, part of Wikipedia:Good articles/all had to be split off into Wikipedia:Good articles/all2. There was an HTML comment on the page noting that this bot used those transclusions, so it may need to be updated. Thanks! -- Beland (talk) 20:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Y The bot has been updated to handle this. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the quick fix! -- Beland (talk) 19:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Further changes: Special:Diff/1237436963/1240124928 .. now has a generic warning at the top of the section for all bots. -- GreenC 17:21, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Looks like Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Godzilla Minus One/archive1 was not completely processed. I spot these as I go through the monthly archives for the FAC statistics; do you want me to continue to let you know when I come across situations like this, or does it not matter?

Yes, please. For some reason an editor took it upon himself to process the talk page manually.[1] The bot will not handle the nomination if it believes that it is being manually processed. I have reverted this change, and the bot has processed it.[2] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:36, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK, will do. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Mike Christie: The bot does not notify me unless there is an error. It is logged, but nowadays I seldom check the logs unless something is reported. I may tell the bot how to detect it and notify me. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:52, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Hawkeye, I was just looking at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Changi Airport MRT station/archive2 (promoted in June and Oct 17 TFA) and noticed it hasn't been botted. JennyOz (talk) 02:08, 14 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes. The database went down while the bot was processing and it only handled the talk page. I have processed the nomination page manually. Epicgenius processed the article page manually on 25 June. Too late to send out the congratulation message or update the announcements or goings on now.
