Legobot oddity with WP:GAN edit summaries

Legoktm, starting about 24 hours ago, the Legobot edit summaries are repeating the "Passed" articles with each new edit summary, and as new articles pass, the Passed section gets longer. You can see it first with this edit, which adds Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to the previously passed Nier: Automata. The next edit notes two new nominated articles, but the two passed ones are repeated there. (It also happens with single new reviews and new holds.) We're now up to five Passed in the list, and they aren't necessarily added at the end—one of the additions was placed between the first two. Note that when the nominations are first passed, the nomination/review entry is successfully removed from the GAN page and never returns; this is just an edit summary thing.

I don't know how long this will continue—I can't recall ever seeing it before—but if it continues the edit summaries are going to get very long indeed. It's a very odd bug. Maybe stopping and starting the bot, or at least the GAN part of it, would reset things? We haven't had a "Failed" since this happened, so I don't whether or if that would affect things. Thanks for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:30, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

And, of course, no sooner did I post this but the very next edit summary, at 04:41, just had a single "New" without any "Passed" noms. This was, interestingly, 24 hours and 20 minutes after the edit I linked to above. Very odd. Thanks, and my apologies for bothering you; I'll let you know if this should ever recur.

My guess is that this was due to the bot's database being read-only, so it wasn't able to note that those articles had already been passed. Legoktm (talk) 19:32, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Legobot not sending passed notification

Hi Legoktm, 2020 London Marathon was passed as a GA on 13 November, but Legobot didn't update the article with GA icon (I did this manually on 14 November), and didn't send me a notification that it'd passed. Is there an issue with the bot? Joseph2302 (talk) 12:48, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
