Uncategorized RfC subpages[edit]

The bot won't let me add categories to the category-based subpages of Wikipedia:Requests for comment, such as Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Unsorted, which are currently uncategorized. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 20:22, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @LaundryPizza03: Did you read the editnotice, particularly the red bit? Why do you want to categorise them anyway? --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 20:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can probably add the categories to {{rfclistintro}} instead. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some baklava for you![edit]

RFC topic area requested feature[edit]

Apologies if this has already been answered. If I add a topic area from {{rfc}} Legobot will add that RfC to the respective topic page. If I remove a topic area Legobot apparently won't remove it from that topic page. Could Legobot do this in the future? Schierbecker (talk) 23:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mysterious non-RfCs[edit]

Legoktm, what happened here and here? These three rfcids do not occur anywhere in Template:Rfc, nor indeed anywhere other than the two pages in those diffs. I've seen something similar before, at least five years ago, due to somebody putting an {{RfC}} tag inside commented text. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:33, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Legoktm, more than a day later, and Legobot is still issuing three bogus rfcids every hour, see page history. Is there a log somewhere that records which pages these rfcids were intended for? If I can find that out, I can examine them to see what might be triggering this action. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:40, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes. Looking into it now, unfortunately the database is just as useless as the wiki page:

MariaDB [s51043__legobot]> select * from rfc where rfc_id="8C10D2D";
+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+
| rfc_id  | rfc_page     | rfc_contacted | rfc_expired | rfc_timestamp |
+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+
| 8C10D2D | Template:Rfc |             0 |           0 |             0 |
+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+

Maybe this will fix it. I think this might be related to the self-transclusion change also brought up here. Legoktm (talk) 03:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, seems to have done the trick. Thanks for noticing :)

@Redrose64: Also, just as a heads up, as part of moving Legobot over to the new Toolforge infrastructure, I switched it from PHP 7.3 to 7.4. I don't think it'll cause any issues, but if you notice anything weird, it could be related. Legoktm (talk) 04:04, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to have worked,

Thank you --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:29, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feature request - notify RfC creator when expired RFC template is removed[edit]

@Legoktm: Is it feasible to have Legobot notify the creator of an RFC – eg with a message on that user's talk page, or {{ping}} on the RfC talk page – when Legobot removes an expired RFC template?

Eg Legobot removed the template here, legitimately because the RfC was expired, but I did not realise this for several weeks because:

there was no other activity on that page (the RfC had gone stale)
my watchlist normally excludes bot edits, so I did not see that edit

I'd rather not have to show all bot edits on my watchlist, because there are many of them, and generally I don't care about them. An explicit notification would be helpful. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:14, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @Mitch Ames: It's certainly possible, but for several years now, Legoktm has been unwilling to add new features to Legobot. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think if someone were to write a pull request to do it Legoktm would probably be willing to deploy it. But I'm not volunteering. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:20, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
