Emergency bot shutoff button
Administrators: Use this button if BsoykaBot is malfunctioning. (direct link)
Non-administrators canreport a malfunctioning bot toWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
BsoykaBot is exclusion-compliant. If you need to stop the bot from editing just one page, you can add{{Nobots|BsoykaBot}} to its wikitext. However, this should rarely, if ever, be necessary.
If this method fails, the bot may be malfunctioning. See the big red button above.

| 2: Fix proxy URLs | Approved | Active, running once daily | Replaces proxy links fromThe Wikipedia Library with their non-proxied versions. Proxy links are truly only helpful to experienced editors who actually have access to The Wikipedia Library. For the vast majority of our users (readers), these links block access to crucial references and external links. A solution, if you desire access to proxied URLs from articles, is to use theZotero browser extension, which can automatically redirect you through the TWL proxy when appropriate. | GitHub |
