ProcBot purge
Hey, can your bot purge all transclusions of Template:Attached KML? I've modified some code and I need the pages that use the template to register transclusions of the actual sub-page used. Gonnym (talk) 09:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, the main issue with ProcBot's one-time template purge IIRC is that each run of the bot is stateless (other instances of job don't know another execution is running and/or has completed the request), which makes 'one time purges' sort of difficult. I'll ask some BAG if they wouldn't mind giving the bot edit perms to the work page, so it can track state on that to fix this bug. If that happens and I can get around to patching it, this should be doable. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 18:36, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not quite following why the bot needs TPE. (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 19:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- This request is not needed anymore. Gonnym (talk) 05:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- It's so that the bot can edit User:ProcBot/PurgeList2 (that page is template-editor protected). Alternatively, I'm not personally opposed to lowering the protection on that page.
- IIRC the reason for the TPE protection of the page was to guard against the possibility of issuing unnecessary purges on the transclusions of a highly-used template and causing unnecessary server load. I don't know whether that's a real concern though tbh. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:49, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- If you're fine dropping protection, take responsibility, etc etc, happy to drop to ECP. Primefac (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Primefac: how about leaving the protection as-is on that, and adding ECP to User:ProcBot/PurgeList - I'll use that for template purges as well. Will resolve the issue, and it's a simpler UX to have a single page for everything. I can't envision a non-ECP user wanting to use the bot anyway.

- Sure. Primefac (talk) 13:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

ProcBot: Move editnotices following underlying page move failure
ProcBot's task "Move editnotices following underlying page move" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 "move" actions in the last 14 days, 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, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Main Page history
... was written for 5 November, but is missing for yesterday and today. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- 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)
- Thank you for explaining, but what does it mean for the missing ones? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:40, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Should be operating again. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
