counter down again
here we go again:
 * Internal error
 * The URI you have requested, /xtools/pcount/?user=Mattwheatley&project=en.wikipedia.org, appears to be non-functional at this time.

I see from  talk  pages on other Wikimedia projects that the issues with  this counter/these counters has been going  on  now for nearly  a year. These tools are not 'fun' gadgets and are essential  to  the smooth  running  of the project. It's really time now to  pass the buck  to  the WMF and get  their top  directors to  instruct  their devs to  do  something  about  it. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)
 * I just restarted it again..., I just got added as a maintainer, give me a little time and I'll find and debug. :) — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 13:21, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Though, even after fixing this bug, if possible, we should move it to a new instance on labs where we can control our resources.— cyberpower ChatLimited Access 14:11, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That might not be that hard. Did I mention that I'm taking CIS221: Operating Systems: UNIX (Spring 2015) this semester at UMA?  So, I should be able to learn how to move it to our own instance. :) — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 14:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * My email  is full  of comments about  the poor state of Labs. There comes a time,, when however good the volunteers' programming  skills are (and possible better than those of the WMF), these issues should be loudly dropped in front  of the Foundation's door insisting  that  they  get  on with  it. They are so  busy  handing  out  fellowship  money  for lost causes and developing  unwanted MedWiki features that they  have no  excuses for not  clearing  up  the mess left  after the migration  from  ToolServer to labs. As  I  have said before, I  can probably  exert some influence, but  I  would need your backing  rather than you  all continuing  to  insist  that  you  want  to  do  it  all yourselves. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:17, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * My fear is that the end result is we lose control of the tools to the foundation. If that happens, then we will deal with the same drama that happened when they killed OBoD.  The foundation devs have a talent for defying consensus.  That's why I'm hesitant here.— cyberpower ChatLimited Access 03:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Adminstats source
Hi! Mind you share with me the code for the adminstats bot? And read access to a production instance so I can see how you set it up?

 * Restarted—cyberpower  Chat:Online 01:12, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Best of luck debugging the memory leak, and thanks for the frequent re-starting. For the last few days, I've had good success with the xtools edit counter "ec", but not with the article contributor tool "articleinfo". Thanks if you can also keep this one nudged & running. —Patrug (talk) 18:42, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I try to restart it every 8-12 hours. I usually do a restart right before I go to bed and then another one in the morning when I get up and one in the middle of the afternoon.  So, if it is locked up, be patient and it will be restarted within a few hours. :) Still working on the Logger.php script to trace the variables and see what variable isn't being passed as expected causing a failed database request and leaving an open connection causing a memory leak and ultimately the tool locking up.  Hope to get that done soonish™. —   01:27, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Reporting Revert Error
Hello Cyberpower678. It appears that you have been erroneous in reverting an edit to Suggested_sources, where you may have mistaken an edit for vandalism or identified it as nonconstructive.
 * Below you will find information regarding this revision:
 * Edit Made: here
 * Description of edit: I misplaced a request for deletion in AFD, when it should have been in MFD. I placed a request for speedy deletion at the AFD discussion and undid all of my AFD template edits, replacing them with the MFD templates and initiating the MFD discussion. However, Cyberbot I came in and reverted my corrections. Please call off the bot!

Hi Cyberpower678. The login feature stopped working on the xtools when some of them were moved.

 * Cyber & Tech, thanks for your diligent efforts to keep xtools running. Edit-counter "ec" seems to be working much more reliably (apart from the curious misspelling "Artikel" in the sections for Namespace totals & Top edited pages). On the other hand, "articleinfo" & "xtools-articleinfo" have failed consistently, both the old & new versions, as I've tried to use them a couple times per day over the past week. Great if you're able to get it running again soon. Many thanks. —Patrug (talk) 07:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Image reproduction request
Hi, cyberpower678,

I am a Brazilian researcher working on the field of social studies of science and technology. I've just finished my PhD thesis about the global warming controversy in Portuguese Wikipedia. More about it here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Science_Controversies_in_Portuguese_Wikipedia:_The_Case_of_Global_Warming

I'd like to reproduce in my thesis a couple of graphs generated by the Page history tool with statistics from the revision history of articles on global warming.

I didn't find any information about the license applying to those graphs. Are them under a Creative Commons license? In case they aren't, are you the one I should ask the authorization to reproduce them?

Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

POKEMON XY
Excuse me but move mess? I'm sorry but there was nothing "messy" about what I did to handle Seasons 17 and 18. It's rather fitting and should stay. Read my entire discussion with Cyphoidbomb on his page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cyphoidbomb and you'll understand. He isn't quite familiar with the show so I cleared him up on things. Seems like you aren't either so my words here should help convince you why my edits are actually reasonable in this case to be able to make separate pages here. - Jabrona (talk) 01:34, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm a quite a Pokemon fan, and I still found them unreasonable. 2 reasons why.  1st, we names pages based on the name of the season, so the episodes stay on the same page and get split into different sections.  2nd, there was no consensus.  These kinds of moves need to be discussed first.  This is why I reverted the move, and you left quite a mess for me to undo.—cyberpower <sub style="margin-left:-10.1ex;color:olive;font-family:Comic Sans MS"> Chat:Online 01:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't have found them unreasonable. Sure, I probably should have started a discussion about this first but people were having trouble trying to separate the two and I just felt the need to jump in immediately and do something that I felt everyone would like and it makes sense. Both seasons have the same title and the fact that they're different seasons show they should have separate pages. You can't get a "Season 18" table by itself on the main page if it's on the same page as Season 17. I was only trying to be helpful and did was perhaps the best idea to handle this two by having a Season 1 and 2 label of XY and you just throw trash at me. I should probably cut myself over this. Thanks for hurting my feelings! - Jabrona (talk) 01:47, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not criticizing you. It's important to be bold on Wikipedia, but this was a little too bold.  I'm not doing this to trash you, but because there is no consensus.  WP:BRD explains it pretty well.

Bug with Cyberbot I creating Book talk: pages
Cyberpower678,

I'd like to bring to your attention an issue/bug that Cyberbot I seems to have when creating/updating pages in the "Book talk:" namespace. I recently ran across a page that Cyberbot I had created: Book talk:War Book talk: Volume 1. The parent page's name is Book:War Book: Volume 1, not Book:War Book talk: Volume 1. (I have since moved that talk page to Book talk:War Book: Volume 1 so that it matches its parent page.) If I had to guess, this bug happened because Cyberbot I's code is set up to change all instances of "Book:" in a title to "Book talk:" prior to creating the talk page, since it seemingly happened here since "Book:" was replaced with "Book talk:" twice, creating the incorrect talk page title. Steel1943 (talk) 20:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not a Cyberbot I specific issue, and I am fairly certain it is out of scope for CP678 to fix. There is already a Phab ticket on the issue and it is posted on VPT IIRC. —   20:42, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you have a link to the Phabricator ticket so that I can check it out? Steel1943  (talk) 21:11, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * , WP:VPT and I've CCed you and CP678 on the ticket (T87645). —  21:17, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I was just looking at the Phabricator bug and report on WP:VPT, and I honestly don't think that it is related, especially given that no other existing pages in the "Book talk:" namespace contain "Book:" as part of their parent page's name. I think this was a bug with the bot that wasn't going to show itself until someone created a page in the "Book:" namespace that contained the specific phrase "Book:" as part of its title. Steel1943  (talk) 01:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Looks like Cyberbot I has created the page again. Seriously, I do not believe that this is related to the above bug. I'm going to tag it for deletion again, but if it gets created yet again after being deleted, I may have to take this to the bot notice board until a resolution is found.

 * how could you not think it is part of that phab ticket when it is explicitly listed in the table in T87645? —  21:10, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Bot's language is insulting, inaccurate, and should be corrected
I refer to this edit. I am merely in the process. Not as quick as a bot. Working my way painfully through the manual steps of a multi-afd is annoying enough, without some bot judging me. Gimme a break! --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 19:40, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It takes you more than 14 minutes to transclude a page? Twinkle does this for you automatically.  The bot does wait before stepping in, which was in this case 14 minutes after the page was created.  And, bots don't judge either.  I don't see anything wrong with it's language, and what it did was accurately described in the comment it left.  Nothing needing correction here.—cyberpower <sub style="margin-left:-10.1ex;color:olive;font-family:Comic Sans MS"> Chat:Online 19:53, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, there were directions to be followed, and corrections to be made, and I'm not a Twinkler, and it did not happen instantaneously. If the bot did not do anything wrong, then why wait at all before stepping in? And if you are going to adopt this attitude that tone does not matter, that you and your bot are simply stating the facts, then why be so verbose? Why can't you just excise the stricken language?:

Hi, Cyberpower678, It seems like the Edit Count feature link from the User Contributions page leads to an error page now. I posted a note about it on your Labs account but you might see this note first.

Season 9 – Pokémon: Battle Frontier (2005-2006)
Why did you revert the changes I made to the episode numbers for parts 1 and 2 for the Pokemon episode Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis!? Parts 1 and 2 of the Pokemon episode Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis! aired on the same day in Japan on April 13, 2006 and in the United States on October 28, 2006. Since both parts of this one hour Pokemon episode aired on the same day, it makes sense that the Japanese and USA episode numbers should be the same. Japanese episode numbers for the parts 1 and 2 of the Pokemon episode Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis! should be 448. USA episode numbers for the parts 1 and 2 of the Pokemon episode Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis! should be 443. Why is part 1 of this Pokemon episode Japanese episode number 448 and part 2 is Japanese episode number 449? Why is part 1 of this Pokemon episode USA episode number 443 and part 2 is USA episode number 444?--BCC3wiki 20:55, 28 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bchu3wiki (talk • contribs)

Cyberbot II breaking redirects
Cyberbot II's work to add protection templates is fine, but there are problems when it encounters a protected redirect. It is placing the protection template in front of the redirect. But this breaks the redirect. For redirects to be functional, they must be the first thing on the page. Any templates need to come after the redirect, not in front of it. is an example of one of these redirect-breaking edits. I've found three of these so far today, and am not done working through the short pages report. And if your bot broke any that have additional templates on them, they could easily be down off the first few pages of the short pages report, meaning I won't be able to easily find them to fix them. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll work on a patch to fix that. C  P  14:36, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

More on CyberBot II
Here's another one. Here we have a case of vandalism to a protected page. Almost fully blanking the page. In this case it appears that your bot jumped in to restore the protection template, but it jumped in so fast that by the time the normal anti-vandalism bots got to it, your edit was now the most recent, so the vandalism stood. I would think that the anti-vandalism bots should get priority over your bot. In cases like this, reverting the vandalism would also solve the issue that your bot is aiming to solve. So is there any way you could add a delay of some sort, maybe even just a couple of minutes, to allow the anti-vandalism bots to have first crack at pages that have had protection templates removed?

And on a marginally related note, does your bot have anti-editwarring code? What would happen if an editor, for whatever reason, *wanted* to remove the template? For the anti-vandalism bots, if their edits are reverted, they do not make them again. Once someone makes an edit that trips them a second time, the bot does not revert a second time, preventing it from getting into edit wars with editors, whether vandals or not. So, does your bot have similar code to prevent itself from edit warring if someone removes a protection template twice? - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

What's going on?
It seems that the Xtools edit counter keeps breaking. Just now, when I was trying to use it to look at a certain statistic of mine, I was told that I practically did not exist (0 edits), that I made my first edit on December 31, 2099 (despite the fact that I wasn't supposed to have any edits), and that my latest edit was on December 2, 02.
