How to remove table article Meletop
@ClueBot Commons Hi friends, can you tell me how to delete the table format because I saw that the Malay Wikipedia has a bit of the same format but the English one is different. I was wondering if I could change the table a bit and delete it? BASIKAL 122 (talk) 04:42, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- ClueBot is a bot, an automated process, to either remove vandalism or archive talk page. We cannot help you with that 94.15.150.204 (talk) 94.15.150.204 (talk) 13:50, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
Watchlist bug
I have enabled highlighting of bot edits in my watchlist. All bot edits have been labeled yellow accordingly but Cluebot NG. Anyone know how to fix this? Chthe (talk) 10:56, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
- ClueBot NG intentionally does not mark its reverts as bot edits, by general community consensus. This is because unlike most bots, vandalism reversion has a higher chance of incorrect edits—no bot is 100% accurate about determining vandalism—and we as a community want the extra scrutiny on those reverts that the watchlist provides. — Naomi Amethyst 22:30, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
Issues with alternative IRC feed
It appears there is a secondary IRC feed channel for a bot named CBNGRelay-spam. The channel it is sending messages to is unregistered and the bot is not authenticated to any NickServ account. The feed it produces is generating a lot of spam alerts, so I have temporarily quieted it (+q) on the channel. Please evaluate whether this bot and channel needs to be in operation. If it does need to continue operation, work with the Wikimedia Group Contacts to register the channel with ChanServ, ensure that the bot authenticates to NickServ using SASL when connecting, and ensure that the bot is automatically given either voice or ops in the feed channel via the ChanServ +V or +O flags, respectively. Once you've done all of those things, feel free to remove the quiet on the bot. Skizzerz (talk) 16:18, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Skizzerz:
On what channel?Never mind, @DamianZaremba: was messing around with the feeds... should be all good now - RichT|C|E-Mail 16:29, 6 August 2025 (UTC)- This should be authenticated (I grouped "CBNGReview" (https://cluebotng-review.toolforge.org), "CBNGRelay-spam" / "CBNGRelay-revert" / "CBNGRelay-debug" (https://github.com/cluebotng/botng) to the same nickserv account that "CBNGRelay" (https://github.com/cluebotng/bot) is using earlier today).
- The production account uses #wikipedia-en-cbngfeed & #wikipedia-en-cbngrevertfeed, with the staging account using #wikipedia-en-cbngfeed2 & #wikipedia-en-cbngrevertfeed2.
- The main different on staging is each channel uses it's own IRC client instance to try and avoid flood killing that regularly happens on the production account.
- Essentially those channels should be registered and the bot granted access, the same as the production channels have... I can't do that right now as I don't have op in the channels. Alternatively I can disable the IRC feed on staging, though I do check this every now and then to compare activity. - Damian Zaremba (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 17:09, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- @DamianZaremba: The group contacts should be able to register it on your behalf and give you ops. Alternatively for -cbngfeed2 if you disconnect the bot and then join the channel yourself you should be automatically opped since the channel was otherwise empty. If you're having frequent issues with being disconnected due to excess flood, send an email to support<at>libera<dot>chat and we can potentially work with you for an increased flood limit (you'll want to ensure that your bot has some form of internal rate-limiting first). If you have further questions feel free to send me a PM on IRC as well and I'd be happy to chat there, I'm currently using the nickname awoo. Skizzerz (talk) 17:30, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info.
- Added basic SASL support in https://github.com/cluebotng/botng/commit/6b5f571130c6ae84607116bc0eaa8c4bd5562e4f (as is the case in the Python version); we where relying on NickServ before.
- Registered the 3 channels and gave the accounts voice, inline with the production accounts.
- It would be good to dig into the rate limits, we do have some very basic time window based implementation, though now we have more options on tools for runtime we could re-write the relay component to improve this furthur. Unfortunately I don't have time to get into this for the next couple of days, but will try and cycle back to it.
- You are always free to ping me (if online on IRC I'm DamianZ, or here), otherwise Rich does a good job of messaging me on other platforms to get my attention. - Damian Zaremba (talk • contribs)
- Looks like the flag changes didn't happen. You'll want to give the account +V (uppercase) in ChanServ (via the FLAGS) command for each of the channels. --Skizzerz (talk) 18:36, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, I did VOICE via ChanServ but that doesn't persist on reconnection. Added FLAG for each channel now. - Damian Zaremba (talk • contribs) 21:36, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

CBIII not archiving on a talk page
I’ll prepend this - as far as I can tell CBIII is not down - I’m just having issues on one particular page!
I’ve been trying to help User:CHCBOY set up archiving on his talk page, as it was getting rather unwieldy… however, so far nothing has been happening, even after a few days. I did spot one mistake in the template a few days ago and corrected it, but still nothing… any ideas? Danners430 tweaks made 16:35, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- I didn't see anything obviously wrong, but your
|format=was not quite how yearly was meant to be set up, and might have been the source of the issue, so I changed that. It may or may not fix the issue, we'll see Aidan9382 (talk) 17:38, 17 August 2025 (UTC)- Fingers crossed! On a different point, an archives box seems to have now appeared, which I would say is undesirable given the tall header template already gives archive navigation… any clue where that’s appeared from? Danners430 tweaks made 17:40, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Actually I’ve just taken a look, and that format is one of the defaults… User:ClueBot III#Example: By year and numbered (with archive box) Danners430 tweaks made 17:45, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Huh, interesting. Normally I just see raw yearly and monthly, so in that case I'm not too sure what the issue could be. Also, the box has appeared due to
|archivebox=yesfrom Special:Diff/1306037201 Aidan9382 (talk) 18:22, 17 August 2025 (UTC)- Ah - I thought that only controlled archive boxes on the archive pages? Danners430 tweaks made 18:34, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Autoarchiving on WP:Close request
I just happ need to look at WP:CR and noticed there were a few old completed discussions. It doesn't appear that Cluebit has archived any since the 7th. I've looked but can't see any changes that would've caused an issue, any ideas? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:21, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Could this maybe be related to the discussion directly above? Is CB actually working at all? Danners430 tweaks made 20:26, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- It's last edit was yesterday, CR hasn't been archived since the 7th. So I think this one at least is page related. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:39, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Gotcha :) Danners430 tweaks made 20:42, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- I'm starting to think this is bot related - usually it edits enough to fill an entire 500 page of contributions in just a day, but now it's done only about 50 in over a week. Something's probably broken somewhere, I'm just not sure where exactly Aidan9382 (talk) 06:31, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Worth pinging the maintainers an email? Danners430 tweaks made 06:48, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Looking at the history I think I was wrong about it being page related, you're right about it's edit history. Seems to have been editing fine until about 14:00 on the 7th, but after that there are gaps of hours if not days. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 11:42, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- I've asked Damian to give it a poke - RichT|C|E-Mail 12:55, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- It's hard to look back as we only have access to the last 1 hour of logs currently, but from the metrics the bot has been running very close to its CPU quota (an increase around the 7th). The health check has been restarting the bot after long periods of not editing (24 hours) but it has just been slow. It's currently executing a run at the 'usual' speed, I will check back on it later. - Damian Zaremba (talk • contribs) 13:58, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Fixed a fatal error when running on PHP 8, which should help it complete the run. - Damian Zaremba (talk • contribs) 15:04, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- That would definitely cause issues :D Many thanks for all your support here! Danners430 tweaks made 15:36, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- WP:Close should be sorted (tested that by hand hence the rollback earlier). Pretty sure things are working again now. Logged some issues ( https://github.com/cluebotng/cluebot3/issues ) for later. Feel free to ping me if things seem off in the next days (Rich will also keep an eye). - Damian Zaremba (talk • contribs) 22:12, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks Damian, and Rich. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 22:17, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
