Easily fixable bug in RFPP bot[edit]
See [1]. Just need to change the {{yo|username}} to be {{yo|1=username}} since some users have an equals sign in their username. Hope you are well, my friend! — MusikAnimal talk 04:15, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- Programming the bot to use 1=? That's going to be very hard to do. I need to implement some AI to get that working. :p I am doing well, thank you, and you?—cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 02:13, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Potential Cyberbot II bug[edit]
Hi Cyberpower678. I'm just going to refer you to Talk:How to Rock and How to Rock – basically Cyberbot II has now three times tried to replace a 'dead link' ref with a 'null' Internet Archive link, despite the fact that I've now twice tagged the change as 'Failed'. Hoping you can figure out what's going on here... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:57, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- The tagging is for human reference only. It simply removes the page from the bot generated maintenance category. That aside, I do see 2 bugs. One is a lingering bad DB entry from an old bug, which can be fixed by deleting the respective entry on the DB. The second is, it's claiming to correct formatting when it is adding an archive. I'll see what I can do to fix it.—cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 02:12, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Followup question[edit]
Cyberpower678 – is there a way to get Cyberbot II to ignore a specific {{dead link}} tag on a reference? Failing that, is there a way to get Cyberbot II to ignore an entire article? TIA! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:15, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- The handy-dandy little FaQ linked in all newer messages left behind will answer all your questions. ;-)—cyberpowerChat:Online 22:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
--Hans Poulsen[edit]
Greetings. As you were the last contrib to edit this page I'm addressing you. Little was known about Hans Poulsen until a few weeks ago - some even assumed he was dead. Someone I know personally discovered that Hans had a major stroke about 20 years ago and has been in an old people's home in Melbourne ever since - but for Hans' sake this detail is not to be published!! My friend Anita recently interviewed Hans for her Channel 31 program Wrokdown and made a video to go with his beautiful song "Hold You in my Heart". Anita holds the copyright to Wrokdown. You can email me at epacrisimpressa@gmail.com for further details. I hope you will be able to update Hans' wiki page with some of these details. Please respect Hans' right to privacy about his current living circumstances. I just want people to know that Hans is not dead and that he wrote another extraordinary song.

You can just ignore this message if you like. Melba1 (talk) 13:21, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm curious why you put such a confusing message here to begin with.—cyberpowerChat:Online 14:16, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- Appears that Cybot was the last to edit the Hans Poulsen page. The information should be posted on the Talk page of the artist, although it is pretty useless as there is no reference included and appears WP:PRIMARY. Karst (talk) 14:21, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, now I see what's going on. I don't understand why the Cyberbot isn't a dead giveaway that, that account is a robot account.—cyberpowerChat:Online 14:24, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Cyberbot II request[edit]
Hi, Cyberpower. I've noticed you run a bot that repairs dead links and have a favor to ask you. At WP:TFLS, there is a nominations for List of tallest buildings in Hong Kong. There are dead links that I noted at TFLS, encouraging the nominator to run the link-checker tool. However, they live in China and the link-checker is apparently being blocked, making it very difficult for them to do any repair work. If you do a bot run in the future, would you please consider sweeping that article to repair any dead links that the bot can find archived versions of? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Blacklisted links[edit]
See Rockwell_B-1_Lancer. I believe archive.is is a valid link (not your responsibility, I understand). BUT: the documentation given by the bot either points to a wrong match or is confusing: it is not clear why barchive.is matches archive.is --Vigilius (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- It is a regex expression. \b is a special character.—cyberpowerChat:Online 20:21, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
