ClueBot NG Needs You!
editDamian has been working hard to bring the Report and Review interfaces back. We are now happy to announce that all is ready!
Report Interface: We need Wikipedians to assist with clearing the backlog of false positive reports
Review Interface: This has a direct effect on the bot and what it knows about vandalism or constructive edits. We need Wikipedians to review edits to effect how the bot should be trained.

- I'd love to get involved, as a new rollbacker, I wish to help out! Valorrr (lets chat) 03:07, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith I would be interested in helping out. I just happened to stumble onto this today, as ClueBot kept beating me to several rollbacks I thought I caught instantly! Nubzor [T][C] 20:19, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Nubzor: You need to login to either Report or Review first before I can give you the relevant rights, although a new update may have you the rights straight away - RichT|C|E-Mail 21:57, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith Sorry about that. I didn't even try to log in earlier. I (believe) I was successful at logging into both. I will look into this more tomorrow before I start tinkering. Seems like something more useful/helpful than just patrolling RC. I always chuckle when I am positive a rollback will be successful, only to see it was ClueBot that beat me to it :) Nubzor [T][C] 00:44, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- Quick question for you after taking a look--The Reviewer Interface & instructions provided there make perfect sense. But I'm not 100% certain on the Report Interface. Are we "defer[ing] to reviewer interface" regardless if it's a false positive or not, so that it can then be potentially incorporated into the dataset, either as vandalism or as constructive? Are we just filtering out bugged/invalid entries? Or am I misunderstanding. Nubzor [T][C] 02:18, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Nubzor: Essentially yes, if it's an edit that would be helpful for the bot to learn what is/isn't a FP, then defer. If the edit has been suppressed or deleted, then mark it as invalid - RichT|C|E-Mail 10:07, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith Perfect, thank you! Nubzor [T][C] 14:40, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Cluebot not archiving talk page
editPlease let me know if this is the wrong place to post, but I have had issues with Cluebot recently, either being quite inconsistent or simply not archiving my talk page. I have since tried to tweak the template after reading the documentation more thoroughly, but both the date archive function and archive now function seem to not be working anymore on my page.
I did manually archive the last two items on my talk page since this issue arose! I would appreciate it if somebody more familiar with the bot and the template quirks could take a quick look at my talk page.
