Bot missing updates

Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages hasn't updated since 22 July. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 15:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

The script failed twice due to server-side errors. This happens occasionally; it's unfortunate that it happened twice in a row. I've started a manual run. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:05, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
I assume Templates with disambiguation links is the victim of the same issue? The Banner talk 15:52, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
No; see Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#XTools Edit Count down?. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Question about category bot

Hi, I saw your old answer here. We have similar problem on sh wiki with too many non-empty redirected categories, so I wonder if you can maybe give me some advice or point me where can I find that bot? Thanks. Mladifilozof (talk) 14:54, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

The script used is documented at mw:Manual:Pywikibot/category_redirect.py. If you aren't familiar with Pywikibot, start with the parent page. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:56, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
