== HBC AIV Helperbot 14 removing partially blocked users from AIV ==
== your bot is breaking stuff ==


Please see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=1239809479] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=1239810227] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=1239815375] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=1239816880]. The bot was repeatedly removing users with a partial block who were vandalizing on pages outside of their partial block. I ended up reporting to [[WP:ANI]] instead. [[User:Beagall|Beagall]] ([[User talk:Beagall|talk]]) 18:47, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
At [[Special:Diff/1234425786|this edit]] and [[Special:Diff/1234684432|this edit]], [[User:Mdann52 bot|Mdann52 bot]] broke a reference in [[WMNA-FM]]. Please fix the bot.
: Hm, tricky one. I've deployed a change, will monitor and see what difference it makes. Unfortunately, partial blocks are presented to me as if they are full ones, and it's difficult to detect without going into detail on the logs.

::Still happening [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=1241080140]] The partial block is on the /30 range and prevents reports for the /64 range.

:::{{ping|Geraldo Perez}} hopefully sorted.

== HBC AIV helperbot14 deleting admin comments ==
== HBC AIV helperbot14 erroneously and silently removing reports ==


Happened at [[Special:Diff/1242367786]]. I'm guessing it's an edit conflict issue. [[User:Jlwoodwa|jlwoodwa]] ([[User talk:Jlwoodwa|talk]]) 14:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for stepping up with the bot! I've noticed that as well as removing blocked accounts from the UAA list the bot is also deleting comments left by admins on unblocked accounts, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AUsernames_for_administrator_attention&diff=1235509592&oldid=1235509564 here]. Are you able to change this? Thanks, [[User:Pickersgill-Cunliffe|Pickersgill-Cunliffe]] ([[User talk:Pickersgill-Cunliffe|talk]]) 17:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Jlwoodwa}} yeah that's an edit conflict, I will have to have a think how to get round that. [[User:Mdann52|Mdann52]] ([[User talk:Mdann52#top|talk]]) 05:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Pickersgill-Cunliffe|Pickersgill-Cunliffe]] Interesting, I think that's an issue with some cached content, where the edit you made was just after the bot updated the page.I'll add a patch in later on. [[User:Mdann52|Mdann52]] ([[User talk:Mdann52#top|talk]]) 17:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
::I'll post here as well this time, instead of the BRFA, but the bot also removed a few line breaks for some reason at [[WP:AIV/TB2]] -> [[Special:Diff/1235508948]].

HBC AIV Helperbot 14 removing partially blocked users from AIV

Please see [1] [2] [3] [4]. The bot was repeatedly removing users with a partial block who were vandalizing on pages outside of their partial block. I ended up reporting to WP:ANI instead. Beagall (talk) 18:47, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, tricky one. I've deployed a change, will monitor and see what difference it makes. Unfortunately, partial blocks are presented to me as if they are full ones, and it's difficult to detect without going into detail on the logs. Mdann52 (talk) 20:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Still happening [5]] The partial block is on the /30 range and prevents reports for the /64 range. Geraldo Perez (talk) 06:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Geraldo Perez: hopefully sorted. For info in the future, the bot will only remove items with the {{vandal}} template, so you can bypass the auto-clerking by using other templates and/or subst'ing if appropriate (but I don't know how messy that template is when you do that!) Mdann52 (talk) 06:43, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the problem is fixed. Thanks. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:35, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
