Replace:

with

Don't worry it's only a minor fix but the last edit request created confusion so I just decided to write out the entire source to replace the existing one. The fix is that soxred93's toolserver account expired and that the tools have been transferred to tparis.

Make easier for humans?
Now that Cyberpower seems to have taken over the job of update the Rfx report, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a parser function to take the date the rfa ends and use that to determine the time left for the rfa. Best, -- Kangaroo  powah  03:26, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's only a temporary take over until my bot to replace SoxBot is ready to be launched. You would need to have a function that reads substrings so it can read into the time it ends.  I don't the Wikiparsers can do that. — cyberpower  ( Talk to Me )( Contributions ) 11:00, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

The rounding appears to be off, shouldn't it round up or down based on mathematical convention? As it is, every number is truncated past the 3rd decimal, as opposed to being rounded up or down.  James ( T •  C ) • 10:22am • 23:22, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

 * During the Jason Quinn 2 RfA, when the percentage was at 72.8 - the decimal was truncated as opposed to being rounded up. As I said, I'm not good with wiki-syntax so I can't offer a better solution . What I do know is that it is currently truncating the everything past the third decimal as opposed to rounding up or down in accordance with mathematical convention.

 * The summary table at the time of your original post was . Going back several revisions I find a consistent 73% until I get to . These figures go through the expression parser as  which evaluates to, or  without rounding. Going forward again, the very next summary was created at  with figures of   which evaluates to , or  without rounding. I don't see evidence of truncation. -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Please modify the toolserver url prefix to make it a protocol relative url. This can be done by changing  to

Please update the live template to match the Template:Bureaucrat candidate/sandbox so that User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report/sandbox can start producing more customizable reports as displayed on User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report/testcases. I have discussed this change with on IRC and he said that he would update the bot's output to include the new parameters once this template is updated. Thank you.

 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: Are you sure that you want the documentation removing? Is the removal of  also intentional? -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:08, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That should stay. Just the template itself is being updated.  Thanks for asking. :) Technical 13 (talk) 23:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Just being curious, but if you didn't want the documentation removing, why did you remove it from the sandbox? — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 07:48, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It just didn't get copied in. I often copy templates I work on to my local machine in NotePad++ (because it has bracket matching) and I often remove from that copy anything outside the outermost bracket pair.  I'll add it to the sandbox. Technical 13 (talk) 11:41, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It has now been included in the sandbox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Technical 13 (talk • contribs) 12:01, 11 September 2013‎
 * I created some testcases. Is that what's supposed to happen? -- Red rose64 (talk) 12:28, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * there were already some User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report/testcases based on a change to the bot that will happen once this template is updated.
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Unprotected Sorry, should have spotted this sooner. The template only has 755 transclusions, so I've reduced it to semi-protection. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 10:45, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
