Hi! Have you thought about implementing support for TemplateParametersTool for Wikipedias of other languages? That would be super useful, as I haven't meet such useful similar tools anywhere else when it comes to infoboxes. This may be quite resource-intensive, so to avoid that, it could be made to work at least via custom requests of specific templates via adjusting link or so.

Hi Bamyers99! Yesterday I spent a lot of time working through the issues on https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/The_Beatles.html and I noticed some articles listed as "Redirect" class that are not redirects, such as Flowers in the Dirt. Is that something you could please fix for future runs? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 22:50, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I am not sure if this is the right place - if not, please let me know and I will move on. I'm trying to make WikiProject Skepticism more accessible, starting by adding instructions to the pages and the lists - what they are, and how the information can be used. The starting point is the New Articles list at User:AlexNewArtBot/SkepticismSearchResult. Which brings me to the issue - I get the impression that the whole page is generated by a bot (either AlexNewArtBot or InceptionBot I think), so it is not clear where the instructions can be added. This is the page linked to for "Questions and feedback" so I hope you can point me in the right direction - how can we add instructions so that people can get more use out of these lists?--Gronk Oz (talk) 12:17, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I have found the list User:DataflowBot/output/Popular low quality articles (id-2) very useful in gauging what articles could benefit the most from edits. I found the link to the page from Wikipedia:Task Center. Thank you for maintaining the bot.
Do you think the bot could be expanded to have a slightly longer list, or is there some technical limitation surrounding that? I ask because I have found most of the articles I can contribute to are in the #80-#115 range. Darcyisverycute (talk) 18:47, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Any ideas why User:CleanupWorklistBot is missing the class/importance for the College Basketball project? I poked around the category test tool and it seems to be set up correctly on the master list, yet hasn't ever supplied them since I first found it. As someone who's been making extensive use of the tool (and thanks very much for it, by the way), would be a handy way of considering what to target. Thanks!

Good work on Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken section anchors, I've been fixing some of them whilst the current crazy WP:REPLAG is stopping me doing other things. <g> One thing, it seems to be identifying working redirects as broken if the target section/anchor contains an apostrophe (and I think a hyphen also) - examples include If it ain't broke, don't fix it, T'Pau (Star Trek) and V'ger. I don't know if that's because you're being purist about them being urlencoded, but in practice they work, so should probably not go in the report? Cheers. Le Deluge (talk) 08:02, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
