Invitation to Admin confidence survey
Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

DYKUpdateBot appears to be down
Hello Shubinator! It seems like DYKUpdateBot is down, as it's not updating the current queue. If you could restart the bot sometime soon at your earliest convenience, that would be great. Thanks so much! Alex ShihTalk 05:12, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * DYKHousekeepingBot seems also to be down; its last edit was at 17:43, 28 September 2017 (UTC). Please also restart this one as well. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:41, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks like both bots are having trouble editing Wikipedia, presumably due to an API change. I'll keep looking at this tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm not sure how long the bots will be out of commission. Shubinator (talk) 06:20, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Found the culprit. When the bots are trying to edit, they're getting this error message: "It appears that your browser does not support Unicode. It is required to edit pages, so your edit was not saved." Looking into different ways of addressing this. Shubinator (talk) 16:22, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * For the curious, here's the corresponding API change: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/374422 Shubinator (talk) 16:25, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Both bots should be up and running again. Thanks everyone! (For the curious, here's the fix: Special:Diff/803132637.) Shubinator (talk) 17:20, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Please run the untranscluded DYK nomination templates list
Shubinator, I believe I'm aware of all those from prior to October, but I think some from last month were promoted and then pulled back, but WugBot deleted the transclusions (as it's supposed to do) after promotion, and the person who pulled the nomination back forgot (or didn't care) that they needed to retransclude the nomination template. I'd like to find those now and get them transcluded again; there should be a few of them at least. There's no immediate rush; please post the list here when it's ready and ping me, and I'll get to work on resurrecting them. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:29, 5 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Here you go BlueMoonset! I'm not sure if this list would include those nominations, they would need to still be a member of Category:Pending DYK nominations. Shubinator (talk) 04:32, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Template:Did you know nominations/Heroic Medicine
 * Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Richard Morris
 * Template:Did you know nominations/Ikebana
 * Template:Did you know nominations/Gerard Barnes Lambert


 * Thank you very much, Shubinator. As it happens, I already knew about Heroic Medicine and Thomas Richard Morris, both of which were not retranscluded after being pulled from prep a while back, but the other two were new to me, and available on the Pending DYK nominations page (I've been checking that category lately). Oddly, Ikebana wasn't ever added to the nominations page, yet the nominator wasn't sent the "you forgot to transclude this" message by DYKHousekeepingBot. I've just taken care of posting to the nominator's talk page, though as the nomination isn't a 5x expansion and has referencing issues, I doubt the transclusion will ever be done. The Gerard Barnes Lambert nomination page was created by an editor making their first edit; there is no article about this person at all. I've put the page up for speedy deletion. That takes care of all the untranscluded nominations! BlueMoonset (talk) 05:18, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * That was fast, thanks! It looks like Ikebana's nominator has a nobots template on their talk page so DYKHousekeepingBot respected the template and didn't notify them. Shubinator (talk) 05:28, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
