 | Hi and welcome to my user-talk page. All content, once dealt with, is moved to the Archive page. The current archive page is Archive 03 Please add any new correspondence below the horizontal line, in a new section. Depending on my mood, I may or may not copy my response to your talk page, to save you the trouble of checking my talk page all the time. If you are posting a critical comment on my behaviour, please consider crossposting to my own Editor review page. All comments there will be read in full and will not be archived. --Werdna648T/C\@ 00:27, 15 March 2006 (UTC) |

I am semi-absent from Wikipedia. I will check my watchlst every few days, but will not be as active as I have been previously. This is partly as a result of my disillusionment with much of Wikipedia's workings at the moment, but mostly due to a large number of assessment tasks occurring in the next three months.

===....===" or "====....====" (etc) section is a subsection of a level "==....==" section. Can Werdnabot be set to keep a section and its subsections together?
- Example:
- Here the "== Opinion essay: Overuse of Anonymity at Wikipedia and a Proposal ==" section is archived, without its subsection "===Discussion===": [1]
- Tx! --Francis Schonken 15:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion
I was thinking of putting this forward myself, but I think it might sound better coming straight from the horse's mouth. Have you ever considered suggesting to anyone creating a manually controlled list of high-traffic article talk pages for Werdnabot to take care of? --InShaneee 19:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting idea. More details? Werdna talk criticism 02:27, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the way I see it, there are some pages that get a whole lot of talk traffic, but don't have a lot of experienced, dedicated users around to take care of regular archiving, causing the pages to become unweildly huge. If there was perhaps a system to nominate such pages for patrolling by Werdnabot... --InShaneee 23:23, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Bot archiving of Village Pump pages
Hi, I noticed your bot has started archiving WP:VPP after User:Crypticbot got blocked. Could you set it up to archive the other sections of the Village Pump as well? I tried to archive one section, but got reverted by an anti-vandalism bot. I reverted it and that seemed to get the problem under control, but if an effective bot can handle the task of archiving all these pages, there's no reason for a human to waste an hour every couple of weeks doing it. Thanks if your bot can be of assistance. Kudos for designing it. I've seen it around; it is most helpful.--Kchase T 03:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Just copy and paste the code for archival (don't forget the commented directive) from VPP. It should work fine. Werdna talk criticism 02:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Werdnabot not archiving my talk page
Hmm... Werdnabot is not archiving my talk page anymore, but I haven't meddled with the archival code. :S Can you take a look at my page and see what's wrong? Thanks! Kimchi.sg 12:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- The first few posts on the page have non-standard timestamps. These will need to be manually archived. Werdna talk criticism 02:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- You mean things like timestamps that end with (UTC{{{3|}}}) or (UTC+8) make Werdnabot choke? Because that's what {{unsigned2}} adds if it's subst'ed. Should I not subst unsigned2 in the future, if that's the case? Kimchi.sg 08:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- It doesn't choke, it just doesn't recognise the timestamp. You're welcome to fix the {{unsigned2}} template to sort this out

Thank you for Werdnabot!
I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for your Werdnabot archiver. It is much appreciated. (I'm watching it working on village pump technical) --Ligulem 08:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Just a note: On the first edit by the bot on the VP/T, it apparently removed a nonused section header from a <pre> block (see line 403 in that diff). This caused a bit of a mess as it removed the </pre> (which became much more apparent lately, as the gap to the next closing <pre> was far down the page). I have attempted to re-add it, but the page is so big it gives me a headache. Also, the archive might be messed up in that section. --Splarka (rant) 10:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

An automated message from Werdnabot?!?!
It can't archive my talk page it says. It apparently wants me to check an error which is not specified. Let me know what I can do. --Kevin_b_er 18:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for Werdnabot! My talk page was growing faster than 100K per month and it was a pain in the behind to archive. Now I don't have to! Yay! --Yamla 03:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk Page Archival
Hi, nice bot you have, I set it up to archive my talk page, and I just got a message that there is some type of error. Anyway you can help me out here? Thanks! --DieHard2k5 01:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The Billington Software Develpment Barnstar
I, Michael Billington, award you the Billington Software Develpment Barnstar for for creating Werdnabot. That bot is so damn smart I'm suprised it hasn't re-written itself in assembly. Keep that bot running!. If you liked this barnstar, then please leave a message on My talk page so it looks like everyone likes me.

Werdnabot doesn't like me
I added the werdnabot text to my user talk page and set it to go off after three days. It's been longer than that and werdnabot doesn't seem to be archiving me. Did I mess something up? I haven't received any error messages. --Yamla 04:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I wanted to add my voice to this. I've been using this for sometime, and about 3 days ago it seemed to have stopped functioning. I've checked to ensure the code is fine and it seems to be, but I've been using it for at least a month or two perfectly fine.--Crossmr 01:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Ditto ... my talk page is also no longer being archived. It's really starting to pile up. --Cyde Weys 05:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- a quick check of werdnabots contribs indicates a couple of talk pages are being archived, but I've no idea why those few are and the rest aren't.--Crossmr 05:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'll do some investigating now. Werdna talk criticism 06:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yep, you guys were right. There was a bug in the regular expression Werdnabot uses for detecting sections. You'll find that Werdnabot is running a large run now. Werdna talk criticism 06:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

It seems to be copying content to the designated archive page but not removing it from the soruce page. Is that normal? --Yamla 14:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Got some diffs? This is not normal. Werdna talk criticism 23:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- See My talk page history and my talk archive page history. Note that the content is added to the archive successfully but is not removed from my talk page. That is, Werdnabot doesn't actually edit my talk page. --Yamla 23:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Bot request
This is an insanely trivial thing, but I was wondering on the possibility of overriding the X day limit, i.e. allowing <!-- NOARCHIVE --> keep a section indefinitely, and <!-- ARCHIVE --> remove a section (such as a trivial RFA "thank you") archive it on the bot's next check. Again, no need for this, but it would be nice. Ral315 (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- The <!--Werdnabot-noarchive--> has been implemented since Werdnabot's creation. I will add your other suggestion to my bugtracker and get around to it in due course. Thanks, Werdna talk criticism 23:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that's what I get for not reading documentation :) Thanks for looking into the other one. Ral315 (talk) 01:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
