Assistance Requested: False Positive Reports

Hi all,

This message is mainly for established Wikipedians and those who reply on this talk page regularly. First of all, thanks for the support you give ClueBot every day :)

I'm happy to let everyone know that the review interface, the one that directly affects CBNGs dataset, is making a come back. Damian has been working hard to get it back working and right now is in a very alpha state, so it can't be accessed by anyone just let

However there is a mountain of false positive reports to go though to make sure there is stuff to review when it gets there so I'm asking for a little bit of help

The report interface is at [1] and you can now log in using your Wikimedia account using OAuth. If you are willing to assist with checking reports, please sign in (so it creates you a virtual account in the system), then reply under this message so I can give you the relevant permissions. (NOTE: If you have an old account when you had to manually create one, the OAuth process might fail, let me know if that's the case)

The process is easy, if its a false report, click Invalid, if its not, click 'Defer to Review Interface'

• ok --R. S. Shaw (talk) 05:09, 28 September 2021 (UTC) (But also, is "If the claimed 'false positive' is clearly vandalism, click Invalid" the right interpretation?)

@R. S. Shaw:  Done and yes, that's correct - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 10:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

  @K6ka:  Done - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 13:58, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

I could help out with this too; I've created an account. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 20:15, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

@Tol:  Done - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 13:58, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

• Long time no see Rich_Smith. I'll help out as well :) Hope you're well :)-- 5 albert square (talk) 16:31, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

@5 albert square: Can you confirm you can login, I'm aware you already had an account - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 16:32, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Yeah I can login Rich. I'm getting the options of invalid, reported etc :)-- 5 albert square (talk) 16:36, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

One question Rich_Smith if we get edits like this one where we can't see the edit because it's been rev del'd etc, are we to just mark as resolved?-- 5 albert square (talk) 17:43, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Yea, just mark it as resolved - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 18:51, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Wrong user

Hello, for whatever reason I was given a warning about an edit I made to the page for Ellensburg Washington as I never made that one, and I am actually wondering where it came from since only an IP address was identified when I honestly don't even know what mine is. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, I was just confused on it since it even says it was mobile (I think) and I do not browse this page on mobile. I honestly do not know if there is a way for you to verify any of this, I was just more confused than anything else. Maybe it has to do with the building I am currently living at which has other people. Thank you very much for your time!! 72.233.242.167 (talk) 05:44, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

That's fine, that just means that someone else who had your IP address has made the edit :)-- 5 albert square (talk) 21:56, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

ClueBot III: ignore certain subpages

Hello! I recently changed my archive system from Y/F ("2021/October") to Y/m ("2021/10"). However, ClueBot III recognises the redirects (and pages I set up at User talk:Tol/Archives/2020 and such) as archives themselves. Is there any way to disable ClueBot III from indexing such a page? (It's generating a lot of whitespace at the bottom of User:ClueBot III/Master Detailed Indices/User talk:Tol.) Thanks. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 15:55, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

@Tol:, that is absolutely a question for @Cobi: - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 16:14, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

ClueBot III is down

Subject line says it all; it's probably related to the previous section. Its last edit was just before the changeover on 7 October (UTC). Also pinging Rich_Smith and Cobi, like before. Graham87 12:28, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

 Fixed - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 16:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

No warnings

Cluebot NG seems to have stopped leaving warnings after reverting vandalism. I don't see any left today. TwoTwoHello (talk) 12:27, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes it does appear to have made it's last talk page edit warning to an IP yesterday before it stopped and started running again without posting on any more talk pages after reverting. Odd one. If there are any false positives, these editors may not know where to go to report them unless they are observant enough to do it from the automated edit summaries the bot gives. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:42, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

I noticed this too. Turning the bot off and on again did not make a difference. Ixfd64 (talk) 17:03, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Pinging in Rich_Smith and Cobi to look at this. It's also not reporting users to AIV. Last report to AIV was yesterday at 17.35 I think. Last warning was yesterday around 8pm.-- 5 albert square (talk) 17:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

This is because of phab:T280806. ClueBot NG uses an API that's been deprecated since 2014 to get tokens for everything but rollbacks. That API was finally removed yesterday. mw:MediaWiki_1.37/Deprecation_of_legacy_API_token_parameters has more information. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:58, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

 Fixed Thanks for the report and the information - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 18:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

It was broken again for a few minutes today for completely unrelated reasons, but is again fixed. - Damian Zaremba ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:33, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

I lost my cool and made an edit I shouldn't have made. I apologize for that, and I'm glad my edit was reverted.OrdinaryAverageTy (talk) 13:48, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

A rare trout for you

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

@ToBeFree: Funny, but I can see why a computer would think that was vandalism. I think my favorite of all time is this- it's been 9 years, but I still can't figure out what happened there. Naleksuh (talk) 06:57, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
