[edit] Doubles

Your bot keeps making doubles of the Animanga Wikiproject template. See Talk:A.I Revolution for example. Please stop and fix it. --SeizureDog 00:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Same here and here. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 07:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

The bot was doing a test on a few pages (only a few, in case of bugs, which were obviously found!), and I got the bug. A few others have messaged me with the bug, and it will be fixed before the next run of the bot. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 02:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessing

Can the bot add {{WikiProject Anime and manga|class=}} instead of {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} please? --Squilibob 00:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

What's the difference? Could you explain? Thanks! — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 03:16, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It would make it easier to go back and assess those articles because they wouldn't have to type the |class= part every time. I guess you could use {{WikiProject Anime and manga|class=Stub}} which would mean that no one would have to go back and assess that page as a Stub at all. --Squilibob 08:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

When I asked about this on the WikiProject page, they told me not to have the bot automatically assess the articles as stubs: it should just leave them unassessed. Good idea though: I'll replace the section in the code so it uses the template you suggested. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 13:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Your bot could also fix errors that I have been discovering. When the assessment part of the template is not capitalised, class=b instead of class=B, class=stub instead of class=Stub, etc, the talk page is not added to the correct category. I think I have found all the incorrect instances however so this might be pointless. --Squilibob 05:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

That would probably not be hard at all to fix. It sounds like an ongoing problem as people rate articles, so I could easily include a find and replace. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 09:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

When Dark Shikari Bot adds a template to a talk page it needs to add a break line after the template. Section headers aren't being displayed because of that. See [1], [2] and [3] --Squilibob 00:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot has been approved for trial

And its running. If you notice it doing anything wrong, post here and I will turn it off as soon as possible. Administrators can of course block it. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 13:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
