I have undone this edit by ClueBot and reported it via the interface provided for ClueBot's false positives.
ClueBot should be programmed to stay away from mathematical notation. I've never seen an edit by ClueBot to an article I've edited when ClueBot's edit was not garbage. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:47, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
That is a very harshly written message that seems to have been scribbled down out of frustration. "100%" is a blatantly obviously incorrect exaggeration and it makes CBNG look like a vandal bot bent on destroying Wikipedia, which undoubtedly insults the people that have spent hours working on the bot as well as the people who do appreciate what the bot has done. I am even more surprised that this comes from an administrator. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:29, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
When I visited the report interface to report a mistake, I got this message in the reCAPTCHA box:
The report interface should be upgraded to the latest version of reCAPTCHA before the end of this month so it doesn't stop working.

Hello, in this edit, User:John of Reading used the edit summary to advance the claim that "Add archiveprefix - although that's the default value, the indexer doesn't work properly without it." This seems to contradict User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis#Required parameters's If you do not set this argument, or if you set it to something invalid, then the default value will be used. Can you clarify which is the desired template configuration if one simply wants to use the default? Can you also clarify what ClueBot III does to handle archiving across page moves if the archiveprefix is overlooked during the move? Is there any way that the template or its doc page can be changed to make using archiveprefix easier in the overwhelming number of cases where people just want the default archive location? Thanks. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 18:24, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
I've noticed that ClueBot III has occasionally caused spam blacklist hits when attempting to archive discussions (see Special:Log/spamblacklist/ClueBot III (you have to be logged in to view it)). — MRD2014 Talk 21:18, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

[1] - why Feb? Is there something wrong with the Cluebot configuration at Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Photography workshop? I can't see any reference to, or relation to February in what was archived at that diff. Thanks for any pointers you can offer. I just shifted about 30k of stuff between Jan/Feb/Mar archives prior to this Cluebot edit thinking it must just be human error that had caused the wrong archives to be used, but now Cluebot subsequently does this and I am confused. I may well be missing something obvious, but it'd be nice if we can fix it.
"|header=((Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Photography workshop/Archive/2018))"in that config with
"|header=((Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Photography workshop/Archive/((CURRENTYEAR))))"or something similar, to avoid needing to/forgetting to update it - or will that not get properly evaluated? I strongly suspect this won't work, because the outer (('s are passed without expansion, so
"((CURRENTYEAR))"will be too, but is there a workaround? -- Begoon 11:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Per this discussion, can you implement a bot task to detect and correct when Template:User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis's archiveprefix was omitted by the editor or when archiveprefix includes one or more mw:Help:Magic_words#Variables? This probably needs to be an ongoing task. Thanks. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 05:25, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
