ProcBot's task "Main Page snapshots" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 day, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the ((/task)) template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 23:20, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Statue of Edward Colston - Retrieved.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi - investigating. It seems like there's an issue with network connectivity on the WMCS cluster ProcBot is hosted on. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 09:25, 18 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for explaining, but what does it mean for the missing ones? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:40, 18 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The bot wouldn't be able to create them, as it takes snapshots of the main page as a whole. It's a bit more tricky to retroactively construct the main page for a previous date, at least this bot isn't capable of doing that. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 09:47, 18 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It would have to be done by hand, I understand, and you seem to be closest to the recipe. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 18 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm currently doing them manually, once a day. Please ping me when the bot is ready to operate again. Thanks. — Voice of Clam (talk) 17:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Will do, apologies for delay. WMCS sysadmins said I'll need to recreate the cluster. I then needed more storage space to be able to do so, which has been given now, but now my API credentials don't work... To be honest, it's a bit of a busy period for me so I may not be able to deal with this all for a couple of weeks. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 10:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should be operating again. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
