Maybe fix it so it doesn't have such egregious page-widening? Q T C 23:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what you are talking about. Neither OP nor any of the bot's subpages have been widened (I just rechecked the latest few subpages, but I don't remember any of the subpages being widened when I looked at them after they were created).  The bot uses the standard  template, so I can't imagine how it has been widened.  You need to be more specific.  -- Cobi(t 23:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Mybad, on the Sandbox subpage somebody threw in some pre-tags. Missed that section and thought it was the links that were doing it. On a related note, can you rename the links so the contributions and block show up as ( Contributions - Block ) instead of giving the title? ie { Special:Contributions/216.145.90.218 | Special:Blockip/216.145.90.218 )  Q  T C 00:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * You mean on ClueBot? Or on ClueBot IV?  If you mean ClueBot IV, then where?  -- Cobi(t 01:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well last time I checked this was the ClueBot IV BRFA, and the only Sandbox mentioned here was this page. In the second report after the example, the links to Special:Contributions and Special:Blockip. EG: (Contributions | Block IP) Q  T C 06:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The sandbox was a duplicate of OP. It was so the bot wouldn't screw up the real OP during testing.  That post you are referring to was by ClueBot, not ClueBot IV.  (See it is even signed by ClueBot, not ClueBot IV.)  If you want that message changed, I can do that, but you see why that is confusing, asking for a change of ClueBot on ClueBot IV's BRFA?  -- Cobi(t 17:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
