VoxelBot Request
Hi Vacation9 - I see that you are one of the editors who runs User:VoxelBot, which is currently in charge of implementing the closing of FACs and FLCs. Would it be possible to code the bot to also do FARs (WP:Featured article review)? The processes are quite similar, and the bot that previously did FARs has not been working for a while. Thanks in advance, Dana boomer (talk) 14:06, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * We're currently working on another task related to the Article Feedback Tool, however after that's finished I may be able to work on it. The problem is that the code was designed for FACs and FLCs, and adding this would mean both another BRFA and a lot of tweaking. I'm not saying it's impossible, just saying it may be a bit before I can work on it. Vaca  tion  9  14:27, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for considering it. I'm confused as to why it would require another BRFA, as the "function details" at the FAC/FLC BRFA included "Also handle delistings and remove the Featured Article/List star if delisted." We'll continue manually archiving in the meantime. Dana boomer (talk) 22:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I forgot about that. You're correct, it would not require another BRFA. Vaca  tion  9  22:08, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello—looks like the bot missed yesterday's promotion; perhaps since it's a new month you need to force it check the new month's pages at Featured article candidates/Featured log/April 2013 and Featured article candidates/Archived nominations/April 2013? Thanks, as always. Maralia (talk) 15:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed The issue was not with date handling, but rather if this month's log for any function didn't exist, there would be an error. I fixed this and added a check. Vbot will now create logs if necessary. Vaca  tion  9  17:02, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

For the record
It wasn't me, Officer.&mdash;Kww(talk) 22:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
