[edit] Interesting archival case
You might be interested in this diff from MiszaBotIII, where it grabbed a level-2 header encased in nowiki tags rather than the actual level-2 header from the convo. Since it left the beginning nowiki, it kinda messed up formatting on the page following it. Yeah, poor formatting choice on the part of the guy who posted it, but just thought I'd let you know about this case on the possibility that it mattered. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 22:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] VPT again
MiszaBot hasn't hit VPT since 22 June now. I've tried a couple of things, including taking out what could be a blacklisted link, and noticing that the archive page was a redirect and blanking it. Anything else to try? It might be a good idea to have the bot make a dummy edit when it fails for reasons like these, to record what the problem is. Happy‑melon 14:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Not sure, really. Seems like it's plagued with a problem with "whatlinkshere". I replaced the pywikipedia's screen scraping with calls to the API, but now it's regularly timing out. I'm still looking into this. Maybe I'm querying the API too rapidly. Миша13 21:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

- Why does it query whatlinkshere in the first place?? Or do you mean what links to User:MiszaBot/config?? Happy‑melon 21:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

- Yeah, template transclusions are available through whatlinkshere (which is what pywikipedia uses) or the API's list=embeddedin function. Миша13 13:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Maybe I'm just being dumb.....
I've very carefully followed the instructions to set up autoarchiving on my talk page.....but it doesn't seem to happen. It's been a few days now. Is there an obvious error I'm making? Stephen Kirrage talk - contribs 16:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- I can't figure this one out either. There are two external links (worldcat.org and polamjournal.com), but neither seem to be on the blacklist. –xenotalk 16:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- I ran it manually (explicitly on your page) and there were no problems, so these weren't spam links. This may be related to the "whatlinkshere" problem described thread above. Миша13 21:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Section dates
Sometimes Miszabot ignores date stamps; e.g. archiving sections of Talk:Washington Monument from 2006–09 while leaving sections from 2003 and 2005. The latter group were sections I added date tags to. Is the bot looking at the page history to see the recent changes, or does it not like {{unsignedIP}}, or what?

- Those timestamps do not specify a time zone (UTC) and are not recognized. Миша13 22:52, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
