Edit summary
Hi Tom, In seeing the changes you are making to Taxonbars, I noticed that there's something confusing about your edit summary. Right now it reads " (Task 3: + (1 sig. taxon ID); AWB)" for example. I suspect you're missing some closing brackets at least. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨   02:28, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Actually, it's AWB's summary length limit. I've shortened the edit summary by excluded everything that's not important, and keeping everything I think is, and that is the best I can do. I even #R'd to Task 3 from my userspace. But all the important info is conveyed - maybe I'll remove the WL to GenFixes, but I'd rather not sacrifice spaces and/or punctuation to maintain summary continuity for possible future searches, and avoid potential ambiguity.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  02:56, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Phalonia yuccatana
can you fix the large red error that you added at the foot of Phalonia yuccatana? Frietjes (talk) 14:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * , that's either a problem with Taxonbar or a Wikidata taxon ID string. Will investigate.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  14:18, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Lint errors in taxonbar task
This edit causes the table-in-list lint error. [This one fixes it. Could you modify the task? --[[User:Izno|Izno]] (talk) 12:32, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * , thanks, and will backcheck for Taxonbars not on their own line (due to surrounding clear not being on its own line). — Tom.Bot (beep⋅boop) 12:39, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * it seems you've had the mis?fortune of finding the only case (or they've all been fixed prior to my backcheck). — Tom.Bot (beep⋅boop) 17:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I fixed the couple of others that I bumped into. Prevention was the goal of my message. :) --Izno (talk) 17:49, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Merely doubling an external link
I removed an authority control box that merely doubled what was already in the external links section --Francis Schonken (talk) 15:16, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * To make myself absolutely clear, the current MO of this bot is an infraction on WP:NOTLINKFARM. --Francis Schonken (talk) 15:18, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * , which part? — Tom.Bot (beep⋅boop) 01:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Intro & first point of the WP:NOTLINKFARM policy section. I'd like to keep the discussion on this in one place. Can we agree to keep it at WP:ELN? Alternatively, we could end the discussion at the WP:ELN subsection by placing there a link to here. Or some other place, as long as it manages to keep the discussion in one place (for the time being). Tx. --Francis Schonken (talk) 06:35, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Doesn't apply, imo. I've responded at WP:ELN in more detail.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:53, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Deprecated image syntax
I would like to know the current status of Task 4. I mean is that work still active? Adithyak1997 (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * it's on the back-back-burner, several months away at least. Is there any template/template-family/group of pages you wish to see addressed? (exceptions can be made (no guarantees)) — Tom.Bot (beep⋅boop) 22:37, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
