Wikipedia:Database reports/Recent deaths

It looks like this page hasn't been updated by ListeriaBot since November 2020. Any way we could get it back on track to update regularly? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:06, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And Wikipedia:Database reports/Deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't updated since August 2020! Maybe this report should officially be discontinued & deleted. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:54, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes added to the "description" column

Recent bot updates to {{Wikidata list}}s are adding infoboxes to descriptions [1] Is this a bug or something editors should be adjusting in their SPARQL before running the bot? czar 06:47, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Outputting categories

User:Jura1/pages with Wikidata items without any statements is a report page, automatically generated by ListeriaBot to keep track of a maintenance issue. It seems like a perfectly legitimate and useful list in principle — but the problem is that if one of the pages it picks up corresponds to a category, then it just lists the category like an article and causes that workpage to be filed in the category instead of just linking to the category. However, pages like that aren't supposed to be filed in articlespace categories at all, meaning that I just a few minutes ago had to remove 13 categories from the page — but ListeriaBot will readd categories to the list again the next time it runs that job, and thus throw the page right back into categories it isn't supposed to be in again.

Accordingly, I wanted to ask if it's possible to make a small adjustment to ListeriaBot, so that if it has to output a category to a worklist of this type, it does so either with a leading colon or with the {{cl}} template, so that it becomes a text link to the category instead of filing the worklist in the category?

Is the bot broken?

Since yesterday, when I try to update a page with the bot, I get a "Last line: ERROR: Login failed" message. It also does not seem to have made any edits in the last few hours. Is it broken? Calistemon (talk) 03:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, other useres are having the same issue and the bot has made no edits since before my previous post. See Github where the issue has been raised. Calistemon (talk) 22:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:GLAM/Smithsonian Institution/SAAM Artists

Since two weeks ago, I've tried to remove apostrophes from the "website" value, and you repeatedly restored them while updating this list. Achmad Rachmani (talk) 13:42, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a big yellow bar on top of the list that says:

 Edits made within the list area will be removed on the next update!

That's what's happening. The bot will replace everything in the list, including references, on update. --Magnus Manske (talk) 15:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
