Hi Anomie, it appears that AnomieBOT has not updated the list at Wikipedia:Files for discussion#Old discussions for the past few days. Could you please restart this job? Thanks, FASTILY 05:39, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

For tracking down the cause of T210739 and coding the fix for it. You're an MVP (most valuable programmer)! wbm1058 (talk) 20:29, 25 January 2019 (UTC) |
I don't know how your bot works. In fact I don't care. Things like this are just magic as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for your effort. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 18:36, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi Anomie. The script that I've used countless times, AjaxPreview, seems to have stopped working recently. I've been getting this in the console. Are you still maintaining it?

Hi. I wanted to let you know that I have disabled the ITN/C archiver task. I left a fuller explanation at the run page for the task. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 07:23, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
Module:String has been nominated for merging with Module:String2 and Module:StringFunc. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:11, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
So I'm in the process of doing a cleanup of unused templates. There are a couple of thousand POTD templates (see here) that are unused. Can you help me understand the purpose of creating a separate "protected" version of the template? For example {{POTD protected/2018-01-02}} and {{POTD/2018-01-02}} are basically the same. I saw that your bot is creating the duplicates so I wanted to check with you. Thanks! Please {{ping|zackmann08}}
in your response. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:14, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Is this Template:Unblock-bot part of AnomieBOT III functions? It is up for deletion ~ R.T.G 08:10, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I saw Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT III 5, and it looks like it'll be really useful. But, it reminded me that there is a growing backlog at WP:BRFA. Is there any chance you would be willing to take a look at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 11, which extends an earlier task of mine, and/or Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 7, which is a straightforward removal of tags (at the request of the editor that added them)? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 04:25, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
P.S. I got a real kick out of trying User:Anomie/censorship --DannyS712 (talk) 04:25, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello Anomie, your BRFA (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT III 5) has been approved. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 14:47, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
Do you know if there's a way for the link-classifier to recognize a link to a blocked user's page /talkpage / subpage? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:58, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Anomie. I've been using Zotero for research for a while and have just been exploring the generation of citations directly from it. I've set the Preferences>Export>Default Format to be "Wikipedia Citation Templates" and it has been generating {{cite book}} and friends happily. Quite often though I am working on pages where the WP:CITEVAR uses {{citation}} which Zotero doesn't seem able to generate. Being a lazy old programmer I tend to expect computers to run around deciding on defaults and linkage, so prefer the latter method accordingly. Do you know if there is an easy way to make Zotero use {{citation}}? Not a major problem, most of the time it's only half-a-dozen keystrokes to change style (told you I was lazy). Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 13:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I can't work out how the script can be improved, from your edit summary. Tony (talk) 02:58, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
{{row indexer|<nowiki>...</nowiki>}}
is conceptually broken rather than your script. But the script itself could be improved by including dates when it adds {{Primary source inline}}, and could avoid adding it to a reference where the template is already there (as in two places in Special:Diff/890235565). Anomie⚔ 11:42, 3 May 2019 (UTC)Hi Anomie. In your own time, I'd like to take you up on your offer to run AnomieBOT III against those old IP blocks, if the offer's still open. The consensus is unanimous so I wouldn't have thought there'd be any Bot approval issues, but you'd know more about that than me. There's a couple of quarry queries available from that discussion. I'd say just watch out for the username accounts which always appear in these lists. Apart from that, there's no other exceptions to note. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:49, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello Anomie, I'm from ckbwiki. I have two questions about your script; first, is this script work like a gadget on other Wikipedias? Second, What should i do to convert numerals from 0, 1, 2, 3...9 to ۱, ۲, ۳...۹? For example: changing 15:00, 29 May 2019 (UTC) to ۱٥:۰۰, ۲۹ May ۲۰۱۹ (UTC)
Note: Ignore the name of months and comma after the time; i fixed both. Thanks! ئارام بکر (talk) 15:27, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi Anomie, I saw on the phabricator ticket that you're the author of the recently implemented change to the database. It may be unrelated, but WugBot stopped working on June 4th and I can't seem to find a reason why. I had looked into the ticket prior to the changes, but thought they wouldn't affect the bot since I read the live revision, not querying the database. Would the implemented change be something that would affect a pywikibot reading pages, or does it only affect SQL queries of the database? Wugapodes [thɑk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɹɪbz] 02:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your bots, Anomie. —andrybak (talk) 13:11, 15 June 2019 (UTC) |
I would like to question regarding {{citation needed}} tags. In what way is it needed to date cn tags. Could you explain why are there soooo... many ways to write cn tags, and importance of writing the ‘date=June 2019’ part. Thanks! CalEditerILikeTrain (talk) 01:28, 16 June 2019 (UTC)🍐

Hello Anomie, I want to ask about your sript. I copy and paste the script to one of the my subpage and use it. It s very helpful for me and those users who imported it. However, The format numbers are Arabic. Can you show me a way to change the format (e.g. 0, 1, 2 ... 9 to ۰, ۱, ۲, ... ۹)? Thanks! ⇒ AramTalk 13:12, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Anomie. Your useridentifier script gives Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'defaultValue' of null
on Special:Log. I think 'mw-log-user'
in var u=['',document.getElementById('mw-log-user').defaultValue];
needs to be changed to 'mw-input-user'
. I think the id was changed when the form was updated to OOUI. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Could you make sure I didn't say anything stupid/wrong in ? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:35, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
In Causes of the Holodomor, Consequence of collectivization an editor added a {whom} in a slightly odd place, while there is an appropriate ref at the end of a not very long sentence. Your bot quite appropriately added a date to the {whom}, which is a neat feature, thank you.
The editor also commented "This is written like some Marxist historian's opinion. please name him."
I looked at the ref and discovered that it was all in Ukrainian -- even though it is similar to Russian there are some differences -- but I could make it out well enough. So I translated the author etc, checked with Google to make sure, and then for fun ran the archived PDF through Google, and it did a pretty good job. (It's horrible at French, a bit of a joke, in fact.)
The author of the ref actually took quite a critical view, far from a Marxist one, not surprising given that he is a Ukrainian historian,
So I ended up with a somewhat odd looking ref and because you are such an experienced editor, and also run bots, I wondered if you might take a quick look, it is just one reference.
Many thanks!

“революції зверху,”bit. You might ask for more advice at an appropriate noticeboard, perhaps WP:Village pump (miscellaneous) or WT:Citing sources. Anomie⚔ 10:52, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look at the DYK thread I pinged you in, and sorry if it was confusingly out of the blue. You're one of the only people I know who's up to speed on mediawiki development, and thought you'd know if something changed recently or who would be better to ask about any recent changes. WT:Notifications seems like a good, bet so thanks for pointing me there! Wug·a·po·des 22:51, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Since you are one of the administrators, I thought you would be able to move this page for me. The title that I wanted to move it to, which is the artist's first name, already exists as a redirect, yet it seems to be the common name based on her pages on social media and music platforms. There's also no existing discussion or RM on the article's talk page. Could you move the page to "Karsu", please? Keivan.fTalk 00:59, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Anomie,
I check AnomieBot III's user page for broken redirects on user pages that the bot does not take care of. But that page seems to have changed in the last day or so. It use to have lists of broken redirects that needed to be taken care of but now, hardly anything appears. Since it seems pretty consistent that there are always some broken redirects that need attention, it's odd to see no list at all. Go into the page history from a few days ago & you can see how much it's changed.
Any idea what the problem is? It's just part of my regular routine to check this page (which I can't link to from a phone) and I wondered why things had suddenly changed. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 03:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
Since you participated in the discussion on Wikipedia Books I herewith inform you that a decision has been taken.
