Problem with one of your tools
I tried to get revision history statistics/search tools from MediaWiki talk:Watchlist-details:, but got an error The URI you have requested, /sigma/usersearch.py?page=MediaWiki_talk:Watchlist-details&server=enwiki, doesn't seem to actually exist. Can you look into it? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:46, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Same here -- this tool very unreliable, at best it works 50% of the time. In my case it just returns no result at all right now. What I would like to know is who do we contact in this regard?Ottawahitech (talk) 15:59, 23 December 2015 (UTC)please ping me
 * Well, we wait for Σ to reply to our questions here, and keep our fingers crossed he finds time and will to do so, I guess... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:30, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * There must be a better way to report system bugs. No? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:09, 31 December 2015 (UTC)please ping me  Looks like  Σ  is active, but ignoring us (I do that too when I don't know what to say to someone posting on my talkpage). 16:20, 31 December 2015 (UTC)please ping me
 * Saying "I don't have time" or "I don't maintain this tool anymore" would be nicer then ignoring us, I'd like to think. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 22:53, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * If memory serves (I can't check because the tool is broken) - Σ already told me something like this  sometime in the past, but I would still like to know:
 * Why  Σ  is still referred to officially as the maintainer of this tool
 * Where can I lodge an official trouble report. Ottawahitech (talk) 23:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)please ping me
 * Honestly the tone of both of you is unacceptable. Why is Σ listed as the official maintainer of the tool? Because Σ developed it? Tools are unsupported and are not maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. Stop complaining and start thanking Σ; Σ owes neither of you anything especially an explanation. If Σ chooses to ignore you and edit then deal with it. Mrfrobinson (talk) 01:00, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I personally don't think encouraging that attitude is very helpful. → Σ σ  ς . (Sigma) 01:27, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * When I saw this section, the link worked, so no further response was needed. And it continues to work at this current moment, therefore there is still no further response needed.
 * Uptime of Labs is determined by unknown forces and I do not have control over that. → Σ σ  ς . (Sigma) 23:54, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Lowercase sigmabot III didn't start up tonight
For whatever reason, Lowercase sigmabot III didn't start up tonight. Other bots have been having trouble in the past several hours (Legobot's last edit was at 20:01 UTC, and it has missed some regular hourly reports as well as updates to the GAN page), so this could be a problem with the servers or queues the bots use. If you could check to see what's up, it would be greatly appreciated; there are some messages that are overdue for archiving (such as WT:DYK, which the bot has skipped for a couple of nights now). Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:44, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Page moves
When a page has been moved, the MiszaBot config should be updated to reflect the new page name. This includes user talk pages in case if a user is renamed. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:21, 2 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay. → Σ σ  ς . (Sigma) 22:54, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
