While I was looking at ClueBot NG's contributions, I found something that might be a false positive. I could be wrong, I'm not the best at this, but I think I found a false positive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sans9k (talk • contribs) 18:15, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Dear sir, Someone continue editing false information in Samta Party page. False information about office bearers and remove the citation. http://samataparty.org/nation-office-bearers/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.207.69.189 (talk) 12:48, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:IBM AS/400 has one archive page at Talk:IBM AS/400/Archive 1. The talk header has working links for the index and the archive page, but the archivebox has only a link for the index - no link for the archive page.

What are we doing wrong there? 23:09, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

It appears to have cleared up, although it also has links to some redirects (caused by the archive page being moved, I guess). Maybe it just takes some time to regenerate something. Guy Harris (talk) 20:32, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Apparently ClueBot NG only has a 0.1% false positive rate. Although this rate is good intentioned, it shouldn’t be this low - I feel like the false positive rate for a human would be much higher (0.5% to 1%?) 172.112.210.32 (talk) 02:39, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Are you saying it should be higher? – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 05:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

I think they are saying that NG shouldn't be afraid to take more risks. —usernamekiran • sign the guestbook • (talk) 05:56, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: In that case; I think ClueBot NG is supposed to catch the most obvious vandalism, leaving the rest to humans, as to stop the FP rate from becoming too high. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 11:04, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know ClueBot NG did something silly.

Special:Diff/1058979419 - I fail to see how the insertion of the text "Southampton" was automatically marked as vandalism. Another rare trout here. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 18:54, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

• Is there a way to get Cluebot III to re-generate an index for a talk page archive?

Specifically, the index located at User:ClueBot_III/Master_Detailed_Indices/Talk:Suburb needs to be corrected and I was wondering if the bot can be instructed to do this so that the corrections needn't be done manually.

Cluebot III ignored sections having unsigned templates during automatic archiving, causing the chronology to be distorted. The chronological order has been restored but the corresponding index does not reflect this. If I had known about this I would've waited for the signature bot to finish before adding an archive, but what's done is done. Scyrme (talk) 19:57, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

• I noticed the index has been re-generated; I don't know if this was done automatically or if the bot operator did it quietly after seeing this. If the latter, thanks!

I also noticed some of the start/end dates in the index were off or listed as "unknown". The dates that were off were not in the typical time-day-month-year format so I suspect that's the problem. The unknowns correspond to bot-signed sections which had year-month-day formatting, so I don't know if Cluebot ignored them because of how the bot handled these signatures or because of the date order. I've standardised the dates regardless. I'd like to ask the index be re-generated a second time to update the dates. If this happens automatically, then I suppose nothing more needs to be done. If not, thanks to whoever responds to this request. It should mostly if not entirely fix start/end dates. If the second regen doesn't fix the unknowns, I won't bother asking a third time.

It will be 1,000,000 edits for Clue the Third. —usernamekiran • sign the guestbook • (talk) 18:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

2,000 done. —usernamekiran • sign the guestbook • (talk) 05:24, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Im 애국심 존중. You are Bot? --애국심 존중 (talk) 10:07, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

@애국심 존중: Yes. As mentioned at the top of the page, ClueBot NG, and ClueBot III are bots. —usernamekiran • sign the guestbook • (talk) 05:27, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: OK. 애국심 존중 (talk) 05:30, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Bro, dont remove my edits — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.93.100.134 (talk) 08:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

At Talk:Unification of Italy, a new section was added on 24 November ([1]). It was archived by ClueBot III 14 days later ([2]), even though the "age" parameter is set to 90 days (why?). I wanted to respond to this section, so I unarchived it by moving it back to the main talk page, which I guess you're not supposed to do – one day later (yesterday) the bot promptly re-archived the discussion, but it did so by creating an entirely new, strangely named archive: Talk:Unification of Italy/Archives/ 1 instead of adding it back to Talk:Unification of Italy/Archive 1.

What happened here and how can I fix it? Lennart97 (talk) 10:48, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Just leaving another comment to prevent this section from being archived without response tomorrow. Maybe the time before archiving should be extended. Lennart97 (talk) 09:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

This is the genesis of a technical error on my part. I forgot to change the counter back to "1" when copying over cluebot settings. Now the index is wrong, but I expect it will fix itself next time it comes around. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to fix the error. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble my Robotic Friend — Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 12:55, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I thought I'd reported this to Village Pump technical many months ago, and that a fix had been applied? Anyhow, at that time I was requested to approach the developers directly.

The problem is that excessive whitespace is created with a new Talk page, as in this example. Thanks.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 21:22, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
