Is Borderlands 2 open world?Dohvahkiin (talk) 20:44, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
Does Cluebot NG operate in languages other than English? Do the other Wikipedias have their own anti-vandal bots? It would be a bit of a shame if they don't have any automatic vandal defenses. --EnronEvolvedMy Talk Page 15:31, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Will the ClueBot III creates the archive page, or I must create the archive page?
(told me if I'm on the wrong section)

A change being deployed to MediaWiki will cause both bots (and other very important bots) to stop working completely unless their code is updated, per WP:VPT#Impending bot armageddon. Gparyani (talk) 05:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
How could a robot detect such subtle vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackhat999 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

ClueBot III (talk · contribs) has been making edits like this, this, and this to point old discussions to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive272 with the edit summary "Fixing links to archived content."
However, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive272#Requesting review of close of RfC at Griffin article, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive272#Request Block Review of User:MarshalN20, and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive272#Request to close RfC at Talk:Air France Flight 447#RfC - What "Summary" should the Accident have? do not lead to the correct location for these discussions.
This is not a false positive (which talks about "ClueBot NG's revert ID"), so I am posting this here since none of the notices on this page say where to discuss ClueBot III archiving issues. Cunard (talk) 02:42, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
OK, so on @Jimbo Wales: talk page ClueBot III is set to archive threads that have not had a response in 36 hours. I happened to go on his talk page before to check something and couldn't help but notice that it was a little long. When I checked that further I noticed that ClueBot III has not archived this since 3rd June. There are a few threads on there that haven't had responses since 3rd/4th June which is definitely over 36 hours. ClueBot III did this recently and if my memory serves me correctly it was something to do with API changes. I'm wondering if the same thing has happened again? Is anyone else experiencing this? In the meantime, I'm about to go back to Jimbo's talk page and manually archive it.

Some obvious cases of vandalism (such as this one) have apparently been overlooked by ClueBot. Will it be possible for ClueBot to automatically detect edits like this one? Jarble (talk) 21:20, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
It seems that with extremely long IPs (or otherwise long usernames), ClueBot produces a summary with a broken userpage link, which covers up the revert ID (which recently is also bugged, as noted above):
Reverting possible vandalism by 2601:1C2:4600:34D:348B:66DB:350F:BC54 to version by 68.36.243.85. False positive? Report it. Thanks, [[User:ClueBot NG|Cl...

See Special:Contributions/ClueBot NG for further examples (it only happpens with IPs with formats similar to the above). Maybe the edit summary could be shortened to prevent this happening? -Sonicwave (talk|c) 18:01, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
@Cobi: @Rich Smith: @DamianZaremba: With the recent WMF Labs outage apparently finally (somewhat) fixed, as I have seen other bots editing, CBNG still hasn't recovered from the outage. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 11:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
See [1], ClueBot NG has been reporting a revert ID of "0" in its edit summaries instead of the correct number. Altamel (talk) 02:45, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Why would the bot have missed this edit to Carol Jackson? I know that the bot does miss some edits, and I know it's normally very good at picking up vandalism, however I'm surprised at it missing this. There's quite a few words in there that I know the bot usually associates with vandalism.--5 albert square (talk) 20:55, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
ClueBot missed this edit; perhaps it might be amended to pick up some of the words used there. – Fayenatic London 14:05, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
The third sentence of the second paragraph says "By handling false positives well without getting upset, you are helping this bot catch over half of all vandalism on Wikipedia and keep the wiki clean for all of us." However, since the threshold was set to 0.1% the vandalism catching rate is at 40%, so should this say "almost half of all vandalism on Wikipedia"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.30.208.15 (talk) 03:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
OK, so I happened to go on to @Jimbo Wales: talk page earlier and noticed that ClueBot III has not archived it for 5 days. The reason the page is not a mile long is because users have been using OneClickArchiver so there is not a backlog. The archiving instructions have not changed so I'm wondering why the bot is not archiving again? @Cobi: @DamianZaremba: @Rich Smith: are you aware of this issue?--5 albert square (talk) 10:49, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
