Although the bot still seems to be active at UAA, it has stopped at AIV.Jauerback^dude?/_dude.13:46, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jauerback give me an hour or so and I'll kick it back into life.Mdann52 (talk)13:47, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for the quick reply!Jauerback^dude?/_dude.13:48, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jauerback - Logged in, and it took that as a threat and immediately resumed it's duties. I'll try and work out what happened but seems to be a-ok again. (edit: it's a bug in the bot, where if it was in a special category it would be flagged. This is now fixed.)Mdann52 (talk)14:14, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again.Jauerback^dude?/_dude.14:58, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Same issue again - not removing at AIV but has been working still at UAA.KylieTastic (talk)11:54, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KylieTastic back in business. Same issue, but was able to actually fix it this time! sorry for reverting you on AIV but it was the easiest way to test it out.Mdann52 (talk)12:28, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mdann52, and no worries on the revert sensible move rather than wait for more to test with. CheersKylieTastic (talk)12:43, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have stopped altogether now... ~Loftyabyss17:17, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, coming back up now.Mdann52 (talk)17:29, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's stopped at AIV again.jlwoodwa (talk)18:19, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jlwoodwa looks like it tripped over a bad report. I've restarted it.Mdann52 (talk)18:32, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are instructions embedded inWP:UAA that instruct editors on how to use that noticeboard, including the preferred formatting and template for reports. Any editor can edit that text, however, and it's sometimes removed. For example, it wasremoved on September 11 (presumably by accident) and was notrestored until nearly two weeks later. Can this bot monitor that text and replace it whenever it's edited or removed?ElKevbo (talk)03:09, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The AIV bot doesn't remove temporary account reports when the underlying IP addresses are blocked. Should we give it TAIV and make it check for that?ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)13:32, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ChildrenWillListen I'm going to be honest, I'm not familiar with temporary accounts and missed the announcement on this as I'm not as active on-wiki as I'd like to be, so I'll have to look into this further. I'll make a request for access myself and see what I can do via the API over the next few days.Mdann52 (talk)14:15, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

HiMdann52. As part of handling temporary accounts, it's seems like we now need a generalized blocked response as one of the options in{{AIV}}, and I've also wanted one previously so I could add a note to a user even when the bot would be archiving it soon. I'm letting you know in case there are any updates you need to make toHBC AIV helperbot14.This is the edit adding the new parameter. Thanks for running this bot!Daniel Quinlan (talk)22:03, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Quinlan: - thanks for the heads up - this shouldn't affect the bot, and I'll add support for it as a temporary measure later this weekend. I am working on a way to attempt to check if a tempuser is IP blocked, but I suspect I may need futher approvals for this and have limited time to play around with the new APIs this week.Mdann52 (talk)22:20, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
