== Merging Suggestion of RBI Zone with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) main article dated 31 October 2018 ==

There seems no requirement of merging it with Reserve Bank of India so I am removing the tag for now. Please suggest any edit if required. [[User:Manupriy Ahluwalia|Manupriy Ahluwalia]] ([[User talk:Manupriy Ahluwalia|talk]]) 13:20, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Edit to my previous comment:
Your idea for merging seems to be correct. Am gonna merge it. [[User:Manupriy Ahluwalia|Manupriy Ahluwalia]] ([[User talk:Manupriy Ahluwalia|talk]])

== Bot may need checking - malforming unsigned templates ==

Hello, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/No._6207;_A_Study_in_Steel&oldid=886281148 attached diff], It looks like the bot does not know who created the post - is this a bug, or normal (which I dont think it is???)?

: It means the bot didn't find any {{tl|tfd links}} templates in the nomination, so it can't check whether the discussion is bot-closable or not. I'll clarify that message.
: Also it should honor sections that a human has already closed, like [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 27#Unused Chart subtemplates]]. I'll fix that too. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 15:39, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I've never seen <code><nowiki>{{old AfD multi}}</nowiki></code> before so I'm unsure how to respond, or even if I'm supposed to respond. AnomieBOT added the template to [[Talk:M.

I would like to remind you that my bot request, stated in the page [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Adithyakbot]] has not been considered within the last one month.[[User:Adithyak1997|Adithyak1997]] ([[User talk:Adithyak1997|talk]]) 13:30, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Adithyak1997}} AnomieBOT doesn't actually review bot requests for approval, just comments on them when there is an issue.

== BAG Status question ==

Hi. In the bot's edits to [[WP:BAG/Status]], what is the usage of <code>|class="MostRecentIsBAG"</code> - is there a user script that relies on this? Thanks, --[[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] ([[User talk:DannyS712|talk]]) 11:19, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
: It was requested in [[User talk:AnomieBOT/Archive 2#Wikipedia:BAG/Status]]. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 18:57, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|Anomie}} I figured out why it was requested - see [[User:Josh Parris/common.css]]. I copied that CSS, and it works great, but I was wondering if you could separately add <code>|class="MostRecentIsOp"</code> when the most recent editor of the BRFA is the operator, so I know whether I should check it for any threads to reply to or not. Would this be doable? Thanks, --[[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] ([[User talk:DannyS712|talk]]) 04:00, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

== What is the point? ==

This bot caused me to lose half an hour of work because of an edit conflict.<br/>What is the point of fixing/adding that totally useless "date" parameter in the <nowiki>{{cn}}</nowiki> template?

::{{ping|DannyS712}} And ... what is that good for?<br/>How many "habitual" editors does Wikipedia have, and how many of them are looking at that list? (350,000 ''articles'' in backlog, growing 5000-10000 per month; each with one ''or more'' <nowiki>{{cn}}</nowiki> tags...)<br/>What could such editors do about it? Why should a <nowiki>{{cn}}</nowiki> that was pasted into some article in 2007 deserve more or less attention than one posted in 2019?<br/>Realistically, a <nowiki>{{cn}}</nowiki> tag will be replaced by a source ref only if some editor ''who has interest in that article'' feels bothered enough by that tag to fix it.  So the best thing one can do to attack that backlog (which obviously will only keep growing, no matter what) is to attract more editors; and the best way to achieve that is to make articles easier to edit --- for example, by getting rid of all templates, like <nowiki>{{cite}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{sfrac}}</nowiki>, that affect only the looks of the article (often for the worse).<br/>Grump.

: I rather doubt you actually lost any work. More likely you just had a situation where you were asked to [[Help:Edit conflict#Resolving an edit conflict|merge your edit with the bot's]], although since it was a bot you could probably have gotten away with just overwriting the bot's edit entirely and letting the bot redo it if it still applied. If whichever editor you were using really did lose your edit entirely, you should file a bug in the appropriate place. If you're routinely making series of edits and wish to try to avoid other editors (including AnomieBOT's tag dating) causing conflicts, you might try using {{tl|In use}}.

==AnomieBot question and CSD G6s==
Hello, [[User:Anomie|Anomie]],

I have a question that has, frankly, driven me crazy. And it is when I look at the Categories list for Candidates for speedy deletion (which appear in a number of places including [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] and CSD category pages), and the number of pages listed doesn't always match the number of pages that the categories contain. I used to think that the category pages were not updating so I'd hit Purge and it didn't make any difference. For example, the counter for [[:Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion]] is now listed at 14 but there are only 2 pages listed when you check that category.

Today, I was looking at [[:Category:Manually maintained portal pages from March 2019]] which was marked as CSD G6 but was not listed in any deletion category. But according the page, it was in the--AHA!--the Hidden categories of [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] and [[:Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion]].

Could CSD G6 categories (and other things like unneeded CSD G8 talk pages) be not marked by ''hidden'' categories? Then they are easier to see for deletion. I don't know how this is remedied, as the clean up categories are marked by a <nowiki>{{Monthly clean-up category}}</nowiki> but perhaps the template could be changed. No one but editors see these dated categories any way so I'm not sure why the categories are hidden as if readers would wander into this area. And I guess this could explain the other numerical discrepancies where admins see that there are more pages in the CSD categories but don't know how to get to them or what pages they are. Thank you.

And there are other, out-dated maintenance categories that the bot ignores like [[:Category:Deprecated templates from April 2019]] which should have been CSD G6 but was not tagged. It would be great if AnomieBot tagged all outdated categories for uncontroversial deletion. I can produce a semi-complete list for you if you'd like.

: The fact that certain categories are hidden categories has nothing to do with the counts being inaccurate. Unfortunately as more caching and background updating of things are added to improve frontend performance, that also seems to lead to more issues with cache invalidation and delayed or missed updates.
: As for [[:Category:Deprecated templates from April 2019]], according to [[Template talk:Monthly clean-up category/core#Edit request]] it's intentional that empty monthly categories for the previous month aren't automatically CSDed. The automatic CSD logic for that April category would have activated in June. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 03:33, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Now, softball has more season pages (See [[:Category:Excessive uses of csb link]] for current places it can help, and note many have already been fixed manually) and more are added each season, so it would be helpful to have it run as well.

*[[User:Meisam.fa]]
*[[User:Thryduulf/R to other wiki]] which links to another wiki 
*[[User:JackLantern]]
*[[User:Mvvnlightbabe]]

These are all actual redirects and it would be nice if they were kept off the broken redirect list.

: Those are broken, for at least some definition of "broken", as illustrated by the fact that clicking those links takes you to the redirect page instead of the nominal target.
:* [[User:Meisam.fa]], [[User:JackLantern]], and [[User:Mvvnlightbabe]] each redirect to a target page that doesn't exist. The GlobalUserPage extension apparently doesn't make it "exist" enough for the redirect to function.
:* [[User:Thryduulf/R to other wiki]], as you note, is an attempt at a cross-wiki redirect. Cross-wiki redirects don't work. In non-userspace the bot would convert it to use {{tl|soft redirect}}.

The redirects on the original pages seem to be formed properly (<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Target page]]</nowiki>).

::But, you know, I don't need to know exactly why the bot has identified these as broken redirects, I'll just to continue to ignore them when I see them on [[User:AnomieBOT_III/Broken_redirects/Userspace|the broken redirect user pages]] list.

==POTDPageDeleter==
Can I ask why your bot is deleting old protected POTD templates? In some cases this is killing off attribution history, where an admin has altered the page while it was transcluded and then someone else has copied the edit to the unprotected version. And it's not like it saves any space on the servers, because deleted pages are still retained. I don't really see a valid reason for doing this, and I think the pages should be restored. Thanks &nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 07:41, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

== ...because titles with en-dashes are hard to type (and resolving the double redirect ... ==

Let's take a page like [[2019 Australian Open - Wheelchair Quad Singles]]. The redirect target is [[2019 Australian Open]], but should now be with en dash [[2019 Australian Open – Wheelchair Quad Singles]]. The bot adds <code><nowiki>{{User:AnomieBOT/Auto-G8|target=2019 Australian Open – Wheelchair Quad Singles}}</nowiki></code> which includes the correct target. I know at that time it's probably a good move, but when the page is actually created, it does not look good. Is it possible for (some) bot to actually check if the correct page is created and then redirect to that? I fixed bunch of those on tennis grand slam pages, but I'm sure there's lot more. Another option is not to create a page with hyphen at all, when the en dash version is just a redirect. [[User:Pelmeen10|Pelmeen10]] ([[User talk:Pelmeen10|talk]]) 20:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

There is a problem in the article [[Kielce]]. Since the bot [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Kielce&diff=next&oldid=901641269 substituted a template there] back in June already, it looks like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Kielce&oldid=904121114#Transport this] with many direct uses of the [[Template:Subst only]] which doesn't belong in any article. Before the bot edit, [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Kielce&oldid=901641269#Transport it looked fine] without those wrong templates in the text. If the bot edit will be reverted, if that still is possible, will the bot again add those wrong templates there? How can this problem be fixed? Readers might wonder very much about this. Now I see that [[Żółtki-Kolonia]] has the same problem after the bot edit there, also in June. I'll try to revert that now, because there have not been other edits afterwards. Let's see what will happen then.

== [[Fort Bragg High School]] ==
Hi {{Ping|Anomie}},

[[User:AnomieBOT|AnomieBOT]] just undid an intentional edit I made at [[Fort Bragg High School]] and per your guidance at the top of this page I'm providing the {{URL|1=https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Fort_Bragg_High_School&diff=913823259&oldid=913810754|2=link to the diff}} in question and an explanation of the circumstances in the event you want to attempt to code in a function to algorithmically recognize such occasions in the future. The situation was brought about by a switch from using manual citations for datums in the article's infobox to a named citation provided automatically by use of the [[Template:NCES School ID|NCES School ID]] and [[Template:NCES District ID|NCES District ID]] templates. So while the bot did correctly identify that I had deleted a named citation which used the Cite web template and replaced it with a named citation that wasn't explicitly set in the article's wikitext, it failed to recognize that upon transclusion of the two templates mentioned above that the new citation name was, in fact, valid and in accordance with best practices as defined by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools|WikiProject Schools]]. I hope this provides the information you like to receive in circumstances such as these.

== Why does AnomieBot edit war? ==

AnomieBot made [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Consideration_(song)&diff=prev&oldid=919668714&diffmode=source this edit] to [[Consideration (song)]]. The edit caused two problems. The first was a new duplicate reference definition in the article for the reference named "ukr&b". The bot left a comment that the definition was being "rescued". There's no need -- the reference "ukr&b" is correctly defined and working in the article.

Worse yet, the reference that AnomieBot placed is almost completely irrelevant; it doesn't describe this song or this artist and links to the wrong chart date.

I reverted the edit. Instead of leaving its mistake alone, AnomieBot repeated its mistake by replacing precisely the same edit. Why does the bot start edit wars with human users? How do I convince it to do the right thing? -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] ([[User talk:Mikeblas|talk]]) 19:45, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
:{{u|Mikeblas}}, seems to be two things happening here: AnomieBOT looked at the page since it has a separate citation error from the reference called BPI. The bot looked for the first instance a reference was used but not defined finding ukr&b due to it being unusually defined through a template and therefore "fixing" it instead of BPI. The general solution would be to add support for citation names defined through templates, but to fix in this particular case fixing the BPI error and reverting should be enough. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 20:08, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
:: AnomieBOT does handle refs defined through templates. The bug here is that the template is producing {{tag|ref|o|params=name="ukr&amp;amp;b"}} (from expandtemplates) while the page has {{tag|ref|o|params=name="ukr&amp;b"}}, and AnomieBOT wasn't seeing those as being the same.

== tagging for WikiProject Diptera ==

Hi, I'm helping out the newly-created [[WP:WikiProject Diptera]], who wants to add their template to talk pages without having to do so manually (there are very many flies). Below is a mostly recursive list of categories within [[:Category:Flies]]. I've scanned the categories and removed those related to fly-fishing, but it appears that most are related to taxonomic groupings of flies. The talk page template is [[Template:WikiProject Diptera|here]]. As far as their explicit permission goes, I believe I have secured that [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Diptera#Welcome,_WikiProject_Diptera!|here]]. They are all pretty new editors, though (students), so they don't quite know all the terminology of what they want, just that they want some of these gadgets to work.

:* Adding {{tl|old AfD multi}} to talk pages of titles that were previously deleted at AFD. ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 62|62]])

:* Creating new pages for various XFD processes. ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 59|59]], [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 66|66]], [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 67|67]])

:* Creating redirects for [[:Category:Redirects from IMO numbers|IMO numbers]] for [[WP:SHIPS]]. ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 73|73]])
:* Creating monthly subcategories for categories in [[:Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month]], for each new month and whenever such a subcategory is non-empty. ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 64|64]])
:* Redirecting talk pages for existing Template and Module /doc, /sandbox, /testcases, and /TemplateData subpages to the parent Template/Module's talk page to avoid decentralized discussion. ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 71|71]])
: I see you recently complained about the last at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 September 29#Template talk:ChristianityWikiProject/sandbox]].

With [[Russian-Iranian military intervention in Syria]], I ended up deleting the variants as well—per [[WP:NOTBURO]], I think it's clear from that discussion that the delete consensus was around the substance of the words rather than the punctuation.
::Perhaps the solution is for us human editors to just be more thorough. Still, if a human editor were doing this, I think they would be rightly admonished. If I could wave a magic wand, perhaps AnomieBOT could populate a new subpage if it would recreate a page that was deleted via XfD, since that would be a red flag that there were variants that needed attention. I'd happily watch such a page and follow up myself if it meant admins not working at cross purposes with the bot. --[[User:BDD|BDD]] ([[User talk:BDD|talk]]) 00:44, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
::: Context matters. Each one of those numbers in my previous comment is at least one completely separate bit of code, each of which would have to be individually adjusted to somehow check for "deleted via XfD". Then, too, it would have to somehow be able to determine "deleted at XfD" without being able to understand English, and with all the different formats used for different XfD processes. And then none of that should have prevented your issue at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 September 29#Template talk:ChristianityWikiProject/sandbox]].

== Malformed ref names ==

I've ran across this bot claiming to fix reference errors, but it is not fixing them. When the bot tries to fix — Cite error: The opening <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag is malformed or has a bad name — all the bot does is remove the ref name, which still creates that same cite error, because it is still malformed or has a bad name. Examples - [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ian_Moss_%28album%29&type=revision&diff=933735902&oldid=924831554 diff], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_Asian_Indoor_Athletics_Championships_records&type=revision&diff=932792242&oldid=823817291 diff], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chudasama_dynasty&type=revision&diff=931957084&oldid=931952276 diff], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Coroner%27s_Court_of_New_South_Wales&type=revision&diff=931825374&oldid=931788382 diff]. I found all these articles in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]], after the bot claimed to fix them, in all likelihood, they were in that category ''anyway'' because the refs had malformed names. I've fixed them, but I just wanted to let you know that his has been going on for a while, those diffs are the most recent "fixes", and the bot is not actually fixing anything.[[User:Isaidnoway|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman; color:blue;"> '''''Isaidnoway''''' </span>]][[User talk:Isaidnoway|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman; color:blue;">'''''(talk)'''''</span>]] 22:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

== a special pattern for citations ending in "2"? ==

I noticed this [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Herberton%2C_Queensland&type=revision&diff=928553041&oldid=928548997 edit by the bot], which was looking for a citation named "qpnt2" and added an inappropriate citation from another article.

In fact the citation was in the article already under the name "qpnt". Whether you like to regard it as a bug or a feature, these citations with "2" on the end are created by the Visual Editor when someone copies article content (usually from another article) and in the process introduced a citation name into the article which clashes with a citation name already in the article. The Visual Editor decides to rename the incoming citation name by putting a "2" on the end of it to avoid the clash. This makes sense most of the time, except when the previous citation was copied from the same source as the second one in which case it should be left as same citation name.

This is what happened in the article [[Herberton, Queensland]] where the intended reuse of citation qpnt became a reuse of the non-existent citation qpnt2.

So from an AnomieBOT perspective, that pattern (a missing citation with a name ending in "2" in the presence of a citation with the same name without the "2") is possibly one that should be resolved by simply renaming the citation to remove the trailing "2" in preference to pulling a similarly named citation from a related article.

== Twelve Tribes Communities Maintenance Tag ==

Hi,

Recently you put a “maintenance tag” on something I wrote.  In the introduction to the Twelve Tribes Communities, there’s a phrase saying that the group is also known as “the community,” “the yellow deli people,” and, as I added, many consider it a cult.

You ask who considers it a cult.  Are you asking for references?  They would be too numerous.  Many news articles on the group refer to it as a cult.  Also, the FBI, when the group was investigated said in its reports that it was investigating the cult.  Ex-members day it’s a cult.

I suggest the need for references for something like this may be lower.  For one, if every statement required a reference the page would be peppered with them.  For two, the statement isn’t alleging that the group is a cult (that’s subject to a vague definition), but simply that many consider it one.

I also suggest that if we want references for this, that we also request references for the claim that it’s known as “the yellow deli people” or “the community.”  Again however, this would lead to the article being g peppered with references.

== TemplateSubster being used as a vector for vandalism ==

A few minutes ago, an LTA [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template:Registered_topicon&diff=951313189&oldid=951312767 changed] the content of [[Template:Registered topicon]] to be a redirect to {{tl|checkuserblock-account}}, then added {{tlx|subst only|2=auto=yes}}, causing AnomieBOT to substitute all instances of the topicon with a CheckUser block message for all of the users who transcluded the template. It seems like this subst-only parameter is a particularly nasty vector for causing widespread vandalism in a very short time. I think it needs to be restricted in some way—perhaps we could create an edit filter to allow only autoconfirmed or otherwise privileged users to add the parameter. What do you think? [[User:Mz7|Mz7]] ([[User talk:Mz7|talk]]) 15:59, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
: There's already a safeguard that prevents the bot from substing templates with >100 transclusions unless they are listed on a template-editor-protected page, so any vandalism is limited to 100 bot edits per template substituted, which is hardly widespread.. If this is to be implemented, it would probably be better for the bot to check who added the category, rather than relying on an edit filter.

== &lt;syntaxhighlight&gt; on [[User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable]] ==

Hi! Your bot seems to use <code>&lt;syntaxhighlight&gt;</code> on this page (and probably other edit request reports as well), with the [[:Category:Pages using deprecated enclose attributes|now-deprecated]] <code>enclose="none"</code> attribute (last occurrence in an [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable&oldid=951885594 April 19 revision of the page]). The non-deprecated solution is using the <code>inline</code> [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes#Boolean_Attributes boolean attribute], but I don’t know why is <code>&lt;syntaxhighlight&gt;</code> needed in the first place. Why can’t you use the plain old <code>&lt;code&gt;</code>, with <code>&lt;nowiki&gt;</code> if needed? It looks better IMHO both in wikicode and in the final HTML. —[[User:Tacsipacsi|Tacsipacsi]] ([[User talk:Tacsipacsi|talk]]) 21:10, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

== Inconsistency in the |df= option to some tags ==

AnomieBOT can sometimes add a '''|df=''' param.  But I've noticed that the editor subsequently flags that parameter as an "unknowm parameter", when the article is is edit mode.
E.g., in this edit ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Vulcan_%28rocket%29&type=revision&diff=962450676&oldid=962448439 diff]), the tag <code><nowiki>{{update after}}</nowiki></code> is added to an article by an editor.  AnomieBOT comes by and changes it to <code><nowiki>{{update after|2020|6|14|df=US}}</nowiki></code> (which you can see if you open this section of the Talk page in the wiki editor)
It seems there is a bug, or an inconsistency between what AnomieBOT does and what the wikisyntax interpreter thinks is valid syntax.  Cheers.  [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 10:28, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, it appears the EnDashRedirectCreator function of the bot has added the {{t|R avoided double redirect}} tag to many redirected templates, project pages and (mostly) talkpages.

But it turns out that the discussion already resulted in a change in consensus, and was [[Special:Diff/964504643|implemented]] an hour before your post that I'm replying to now.

{{no redirect|Talk:List of Billboard number-one singles of 1946 (Pre-Hot 100)}} is labeled for avoided double redirect but its corresponding article-in-waiting {{no redirect|List of Billboard number-one singles of 1946 (Pre-Hot 100)}} is not! Why is that. You used "modification" but that says "Please note that there are many more specific templates."... hint, you should use "avoided double redirect" on ''that'' page. Why is it more important to tag a talk page for avoided double redirect than the corresponding article. If the talk page is kept synchonized with its article (i.e. one doesn't move without the other moving with it) then it should be sufficient to just tag the article because when the article is fixed to go to the correct target its talk page will be too.

: {{-r|List of Billboard number-one singles of 1946 (Pre-Hot 100)}} was created before AnomieBOT was coded to add {{tl|R avoided double redirect}} and has not needed its target updated yet; I didn't particularly want to try to get consensus for a task to have the bot edit 200000 redirects just to add {{tl|R avoided double redirect}} when I was more concerned with the ones the bot had created that actually needed updating. {{-r|Talk:List of Billboard number-one singles of 1946 (Pre-Hot 100)}}, on the other hand, did need updating thanks to moves of and changes to {{-r|Talk:List of Billboard number-one singles of 1946 (Pre–Hot 100)}}, so {{tl|R avoided double redirect}} was incidentally added at the same time the target was fixed.

My apologies about the template, which I believe was the result of an edit conflict. Huggle should know better! Cheers, [[User:Jusdafax|Jusdafax]] ([[User talk:Jusdafax|talk]]) 04:44, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

== Shouldn't the bot know when a template is used in the incorrect space? ==

The Bot saw this [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Palindrome&diff=prev&oldid=967778847] addition of a welcome template '''to an article''', and went ahead and added the boilerplate welcome to the article. [[User:Meters|Meters]] ([[User talk:Meters|talk]]) 09:43, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
:Genuinely curious, but how would it know? While I agree it's a problematic edit, there are subst-only templates in userspace and subst-only templates in article space, and I would think that the only way to determine that would be to have a gigantic list of which are which. Another option could be to use {{t|main talk other}} or similar to have it output nothing in mainspace, but again that would require going through a ton of templates in order to do that. I guess the real question is, how often does this sort of thing happen? If it's less than once per day, then I feel like it's more of a [[GIGO]] situation than anything.

== Reasons for this edit? ==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Unfolding_(functions)&diff=819401995&oldid=819400104 This edit] appears to me to have no merit. Certainly the article could bear a lot of improvement, but the first-person pronoun is obviously being used as a figure of speech that is not meant literally. And where do you find any "how-to" component in the article that would justify such a tag? [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 20:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
:The bot uncontroversially added {{para|date}} parameters to templates that were [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Unfolding_(functions)&diff=prev&oldid=819400104 added by another editor] ({{U|TenPoundHammer}}). You should ask that editor about the tags, preferably on the article's talk page or on that editor's talk page. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 20:46, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

== OrphanReferenceFixer: Blacklisted orphaned reference in [[:Little Haiti]] - Fixed==
When trying to fix orphaned refs in [[:Little Haiti]], MediaWiki's [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist|spam blacklist]] complained about <nowiki>city-data.com</nowiki>. This ''probably'' means someone didn't properly clean up after themselves when blacklisting the link and removing existing uses, but a human needs to double-check it. The attempted changes were:
* [[:Little Haiti]] revision <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=968000522 968000522]</span>:
** Rescued "LittleHaiti" from rev <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=967999804 967999804]</span><br /><small>Removed in revision <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=968000522&diff=prev 968000522]</span> by [[User:Tdk408|Tdk408]] ([[User talk:Tdk408|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tdk408|contribs]] • [[Special:Log/Tdk408|logs]]) with comment "<nowiki>/* Demographics */Given the other numbers, 1,983 residents makes no sense.

I don't understand. I remover incorrect, logically impossible data. The data in the article is not in the article when I checked th footnote. [[User:Tdk408|Tdk408]] ([[User talk:Tdk408|talk]]) 20:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry. I.meant to say the data does not appear in the linked web page in the foot note. [[User:Tdk408|Tdk408]] ([[User talk:Tdk408|talk]]) 20:38, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
: {{re|Tdk408}} Your edit removed the definition of the reference named "LittleHaiti", leaving behind a {{tag|ref|s|attribs=name="LittleHaiti"}} that now has no definition. That causes the page to show <strong class="error">Cite error: The named reference <code style="color:inherit">LittleHaiti</code> was invoked but never defined</strong> as seen at [[Special:Permalink/968000522#cite_note-LittleHaiti-12]]. The bot tried to provide a definition, but was unable to because <nowiki>city-data.com</nowiki> has been blacklisted, so it complains here to ask a human to figure out how to fix it. Someone (maybe you!) might fix it by replacing the {{tag|ref|s|attribs=name="LittleHaiti"}} with {{tlx|citation needed|2=date=July 2020}}, or by finding another source for the information and replacing the {{tag|ref|s|attribs=name="LittleHaiti"}} with the new citation, or by replacing/removing the relevant content that was supposedly sourced to the blacklisted site if it too is in error.
