== X!'s Edit Counter bug report ==
Hi! I hope you allow someone without a Google account to file a bug report for your edit counter. I have 2 issues:
# Namespace 0 is not necessarily named article. In Wikidata it is the item namespace.
# The colors used in the pie chart are not the same as in the list of edited namespaces. In the pie chart it is especially confusing that the adjacent first and last pieces have the same colors as they have at my counts at [http://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=byrial&lang=meta&wiki=wikimedia Meta] and [http://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=byrial&lang=www&wiki=wikidata Wikidata].

::Because the toolserver version is only accessible by TParis, and he got sucked up by RL, I cannot fix those bugs that are there. As I have come to find, the toolserver version is very broken, as the error messages are all being suppressed there. If you have a look at the counter on Labs regarding [http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount/index.php?name=byrial&lang=www&wiki=wikidata wikidata], you'll see that the error regarding colors have been fixed. You'll also see in [http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount/index.php?name=byrial&lang=meta&wiki=wikimedia meta] that I have disabled error suppression, and every user can see that the tool needs fixing. :p The problem is originating from unknown namespaces. They're quick fixes.

==TemplateData is here==
Hey Cyberpower678
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small [[JSON]] data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/TemplateData tutorial|here]], along with a [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/TemplateData|list of prominent templates]], although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback|Feedback]] page.

== Xenophrenic ==
Seems to be in "amok mode" at the TPM article. I would commend you to examine his behaviour quite closely, and to make such findings as you think proper. [[User:Collect|Collect]] ([[User talk:Collect|talk]]) 11:08, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
:He is most likely going to be topic banned at ArbCom (current vote is 2-0 for that remedy), and has definitely accelerated the behavior that's bringing about the topic ban. See this diff[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tea_Party_movement&oldid=564479850&diff=prev] where I reverted a huge edit that didn't have consensus according to Moderated Discussion rules, and he reverted me saying no consensus was claimed. Another one of the Moderated Discussion rules is that we don't make major edits without establishing consensus first, and there's also [[WP:BRD]]. That was the opening shot in a revert war, but I'm not taking the bait. I recommend an immediate topic ban until ArbCom posts its final decision. [[User:Phoenix and Winslow|Phoenix and Winslow]] ([[User talk:Phoenix and Winslow|talk]]) 11:14, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
::Grunt. Poorly timed for real life. I'll have a quick look, but I'm still trying to get settled in as moderator and get that huge discussion about grass-roots closed.

:::Hi, cyberpower. It appears you were fed some inaccurate information that resulted in you making the following problematic statement on the discussion page:
:::*''"It has been brought to my attention that major anti-consensus were being made and reverted, twice."''
:::I made no edits against consensus; the only edits I made was to non-consensus text already in the article. (See [[Talk:Tea_Party_movement/Moderated_discussion/Archive_5#Clarification_please|this discussion, where your predecessor clarified that consensus only if he declared it, or if ''"all"'' agreed to it]].) Also, I only reverted once. (See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&diff=prev&oldid=564684774 EW report for details].) I have absolutely no problem with your request that I not edit the main article without clear consensus, as long as you mean that to apply to the other participating editors as well -- in which case I would ask you to remove or reword that "Topic Ban, sortof" wording to make that clear. Some editors are already trumpeting your choice of words in other venues, and I see that as a bit of a problem. Anything you can do to help with that would be greatly appreciated.

In the pending ArbCom proceeding, Xenophrenic is facing a topic ban from all articles related to the Tea Party movement. The vote is currently 2-0. This topic ban is expected to take effect within days.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tea_Party_movement/Proposed_decision#Xenophrenic_topic-banned]
He's facing this topic ban because of the overwhelming evidence against him regarding his tendentious editing.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tea_Party_movement/Evidence#Re:_Xenophrenic] This includes new evidence of recent editwarring which led to the current full protection of the article by SilkTork. He violated the 1RR article probation with that editwar and, if SilkTork hadn't locked down the article, Xeno would have been facing an immediate block and topic ban for the editwar.
Since he dodged that bullet, he's continued his tendentious behavior on the Moderated Discussion page, unabated. This post on the Moderated Discussion page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATea_Party_movement%2FModerated_discussion&diff=565582146&oldid=565577368] can only be seen as an act of deliberate provocation and mockery.
This context is important in reviewing the current activities with the article and the moderated discussion. I notice that you acted as moderator to direct Arthur Rubin to revert to the agreed upon version for the "Agenda" section. This was a smart move and establishes that you do have the authority as our moderator to take action. In light of all these behavioral problems, I am asking you to again direct Arthur Rubin to take action, this time to impose a topic ban on Xenophrenic until the conclusion of the ArbCom proceeding. regards ....

:Yikes. It looks like a bunch are up for a topic ban. :O To be honest, I see no reason, yet, to topic ban Xenophrenic yet. I'm a very patient person and I like to give people chances before throwing out the bans on people. As for asking Arthur to do something, it was inappropriate of me to ask him as he was involved.

== X's edit counter ==
Hi Cyberpower, I have a query about the opt-in for the edit counter. I noticed you opened an RfC on this on 4 June, but closed it early on 22 June and directed people instead to the RfC at Meta.

Hi, Cyberpower. I'm not sure if you are following the ArbCom case on the Tea Party movement situation, so I thought I'd stop by and give you a heads-up. The latest proposal by the Arbiters is [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tea_Party_movement/Proposed_decision#Motion_for_final_decision|here]], with discussion developing on the associated Talk page.

:Not really. I have improved the speed of detection. It tags immediately, which should reduce conflicts. Tagging the page with PC1 is unnecessary. As soon as you protect it, the bot tags it, meaning by the time you click edit, it's already tagged.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Online</sub> 16:41, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
::I didn't click edit - I was using Twinkle, which tags the page at the same time as protecting it.

== Spam/blacklist link tagging malfunctioning? ==
Cyberbot II has been adding <nowiki>{{spamlinks}}</nowiki> to a variety of pages, for example at [[Extraterrestrial life]]. I'm having a hard time seeing the justification for many of these additions, not least the one at [[Extraterrestrial life]]. A cursory look at the two blacklists does not really show any regex that should match the links in question. The function appears to be disabled at the moment, so I'm just posting this message. [[User:Rwessel|Rwessel]] ([[User talk:Rwessel|talk]]) 05:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

:Poor regexes can cause it to go off. It looks like <code>house(?:263\.com|so\.cn)</code> may be causing it.

::Whatever the cause, the false positive rate appears to be very high. At least seven of the 53-or-so spamlink tags added by Cyberbot II in the 22 minutes after Aug-12 00:16 have been reverted as not being spam, in addition, a cursory inspection shows at least a couple of links being deleted after being incorrectly tagged (see [[Breast reconstruction]], for example, which had a link that led to an American Society of Plastic Surgeons webpage). I understand that this is basically a suggestion to validate the links, but of the 19 pages that have any edits since the tagging, *8* were good links. And of the 34 pages that haven't had any edits since the bot's, and several of those look like good links as well ([[Elie Wiesel]], for example). I'm not sure how this policy gets set, but I think the false positive rate here is far, far too high, especially when tagged with such a stern warning.

== Cyberbot II not handling edit conflicts correctly ==
A user removed a significant amount of content, including the {{tlx|pp-pc1}} template, from the page [[Qnet]], and was reverted by ClueBot NG. Immediately after that, Cyberbot II added a second {{tlx|pp-pc1}} to the page ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qnet&diff=569180340&oldid=569180333 diff]). Apparently, it didn't detect that there was an edit conflict. Can this be looked at? Thanks, [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] ([[User talk:Jackmcbarn|talk]]) 02:47, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
== Rotlink BRFA withdrawn ==
Hey! I'm a little confused about Rotlink's removal of the BRFA from the main page list. He didn't seem intent on canceling the task and him communication seemed forward enough that he would've mentioned this in one way or another. After all, it was only created 2 days ago. I think he simply meant the bot wasn't open, but in trial or post-trial. Not the first time users fiddle with the main list page. Anyway, I'm not sure and I would've asked the botop first. Of course, they can revert easily. Cheers. — <small> [[user:Hellknowz|<span style="color:#B00;">HELL</span>KNOWZ]] ▎[[User talk:Hellknowz|TALK]]</small> 19:36, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== Article revision statistics date format ==
Is this tool hosted by you? Article revision statistics http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/articleinfo/ ??

==Talkpages==
First, thanks for tagging pages that have black-listed links, obviously necessary and useful! Second, you seem to be tagging talkpages; is that intentional? Given that we are not generally supposed to edit other users' posts on talkpages not our own, what are we supposed to do about these? (this question asked out of plain ignorance, no desire to criticise) [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers|talk]]) 00:17, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
:I came here to make the same point. But I'll just more directly ask that the bot stop tagging talk pages -- there's no value in that. [[User:Looie496|Looie496]] ([[User talk:Looie496|talk]]) 00:42, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
::In the same vein, not only was [[Talk:BDSM]] tagged, but the link it tagged is actually invalid now. (Main site is there, but it gives an error when requesting that particular page.) <span style="white-space:nowrap">– [[User:RobinHood70|RobinHood70]] <sup style="line-height:0">[[User talk:RobinHood70|talk]]</sup></span> 01:11, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

== Tracing the blacklist ==
Is there any easy way to determine what rule on the blacklist a URL triggers? For example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington_Metro&diff=570193592&oldid=567324084 this] looks legitimate on its face, but obviously someone somewhere has a problem with something whose regex also matches this one. Without knowing whether it's "washington.com" or "nbcwashington" or "petition" or whatever, it's hard to know where to list the whitelist exception and who to discuss the origin of the rule that caught it. [[User:DMacks|DMacks]] ([[User talk:DMacks|talk]]) 00:29, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no. However, I know a user who can track the regex matching this link.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:red;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:red;font-family:arnprior">Offline</sub> 01:27, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
::It's the word "petition" that's doing it. There's a [[MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#petition|discussion]] about removing it. <span style="white-space:nowrap">– [[User:RobinHood70|RobinHood70]] <sup style="line-height:0">[[User talk:RobinHood70|talk]]</sup></span> 06:56, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
:::Not that bug again. The petition regex caused it to flag a whitehouse.gov site as spam. :/—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Online</sub> 10:30, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
== bad tag on Rachael Carson ==
The bot recently tagged [[Rachel Carson]]--I think that this is the result of a glitch. Here's the edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rachel_Carson&oldid=570192594 The ref that alerted the bot was a web.archive.org link to an archive page from www.medaloffreedom.com, which is now in the hands of some pissant linkfarm. The archived version is at http://web.archive.org/web/20071018025824/www.medaloffreedom.com/Chronological.htm . I found medaloffreedomcom on the blacklist, but, obviously, not archive.com. Since archive.com is used to supply links to old sources that are no longer available, often for similar reasons, the whole domain should be whitelisted or excepted. For now, I'm just reverting the error and hope that this will be addressed before the the bot doesuch more of this.--[[User:Hjal|Hjal]] ([[User talk:Hjal|talk]]) 06:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
:There's <code>\bweb\.archive\.org.{0,50}obsessedwithwrestling\.com</code> which could be setting it off. I'll take a look. The bot only tags if there's a positive match to a regex scan. Regexes are generated by MediaWiki's own engine.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Online</sub> 10:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
