#Labs fails: No edits.

:{{ping|A930913}} Well, seeing that WMF Labs causes a lot of problems (such as disabling ClueBot NG and making bots edit whilst logged out, tripping edit filters from head to toe while recent changes patrollers watch bewildered, scratching their heads). While I know that a level 0 existed on the template, I'm not actually sure how to get it to show. It would be useful for me (and anyone reading this) to know so in case WMF does screw up, I can edit the template with level 0 manually. --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User_talk:K6ka#|talk]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 03:08, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

::{{replyto|K6ka}} [[special:diff/467672204|Like the good old days]]. Though a human is usually capable of working out a non zero level. (Even if it is a lv1 "OMG ClueBot is down".) [[User:A930913|930913]]&nbsp;&#123;&#123;[[User_talk:A930913|ping]]&#125;&#125; 12:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

[[User:VoxelBot|VoxelBot]] is still active, it seems. Are you going to coordinate the replacement with [[User:Fox Wilson|Fox Wilson]] or whoever's responsible for the bot right now? —&nbsp;[[User:The Earwig|<span style="color:#060;">Earwig</span>]]&nbsp;^{''[[User talk:The Earwig|<span style="color:#000;">talk</span>]]''} 04:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

:Given that Wlison and {{U|Vacation9}} have both been AWOL for over a month each, VoxelBot editing only once a day at midnight, and Joseva's attempts to contact them having failed, do you consider that to be necessary? Should we not at least have a trial run to see if it actually works? [[User:BethNaught|BethNaught]] ([[User talk:BethNaught|talk]]) 21:20, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

::I never said anything about not having a trial. The bot is already doing one in its userspace, so we should figure out the situation on the main template before testing it there. The issue is two bots editing over each other on the same page, which is problematic and should be resolved next. I will try to contact Fox and Vacation9. —&nbsp;[[User:The Earwig|<span style="color:#060;">Earwig</span>]]&nbsp;^{''[[User talk:The Earwig|<span style="color:#000;">talk</span>]]''} 23:27, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

:::I apologize if I have appeared to have been unresponsive; I have tried to respond to inquiries on my talk page regarding VoxelBot, indicating I was no longer able to maintain it. VoxelBot is currently running on WMFLabs; I'm not sure why it isn't making updates more frequently. I am completely okay with replacing VoxelBot with a different bot, and will stop the job which is updating the template when this bot is approved.

:::Oh, hello. My apologies if I have been unresponsive as well (thanks [[User:The Earwig|Earwig]] for pinging me), I'm also in support of DefconBot replacing VoxelBot. With regards to stopping VoxelBot, I can do that as well (let me know on IRC, I'm "fwilson", and I'll get to it faster probably). Thanks for writing this! It's a [[User:Fox Wilson|Fox]]! <small>[[User talk:Fox Wilson|(What did I break)]]</small> 23:40, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

::: I've stopped VoxelBot from running in the future. It's a [[User:Fox Wilson|Fox]]! <small>[[User talk:Fox Wilson|(What did I break)]]</small> 23:42, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

:::: On that note, {{tl|BotTrial|days=5}} Should be enough time to see the different patterns in action on the template. — [[User:The Earwig|<span style="color:#060;">Earwig</span>]] ^{''[[User talk:The Earwig|<span style="color:#000;">talk</span>]]''} 23:44, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

::::: Never mind. Since the plan is for the bot to just edit its userspace and for that to be transcluded onto the template, a trial is not needed. {{BotApproved}} — [[User:The Earwig|<span style="color:#060;">Earwig</span>]] ^{''[[User talk:The Earwig|<span style="color:#000;">talk</span>]]''} 00:05, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
