Every wikipedian may need help... this time it's my turn.
I've been following the issue raised by Cyphoidbomb about List of Fanboy and Chum Chum episodes however, I thinking of reverting Joseph Fleisher's edits as the table is a mess and allowing Cyphoid to make their edits.
What do others think to this action?
Thanks

- There's no hurry, so I think this plan should work? If you disagree though, boldly go ahead; but that's my suggestion - to fix it, longer term, by showing a consensus. Cheers, Chzz ► 12:19, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Chzz, although I agree with what you posted on CB's page, I must detest that the page looks a mess. I think that reverting it will clean it up, then I will leave the 2 editors to discuss it out (but keep the page monitored) - Rich(MTCD)Talk Page 13:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Correction! - Meh, the page looks fine at the moment. I won't revert it. - Rich(MTCD)Talk Page 13:56, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

- Sure, you could - you're entitled to your opinion, and to do what you like. Personally, I wouldn't. Yeah, it's a mess - but so what? There's no deadline. Why not wait just for a week, while others agree it is a mess.
- The page will exist on Wikipedia for many, many years. So if it is 'wrong' for a few days, does it matter?
- That's the basic principle behind consensus/discussion. It's like, during an edit-war, when The Wrong Version gets protected.
- There's always time to just wait a bit. No rush.
- I mean...I'm sure, within a few days, a load of people would go on the talk page and say "yep, absolutely agree" - and then it'd all be nice, clear and consensus-based.
- And I know that, in this specific case, it seems obvious that it is 'wrong'. But still I'd wait.
- Up to you though, totally.
Did you have another question? If not, can you please remove the {{helpme}}?oh, never mind, it's gone now - maybe I was looking at a cached page or something Cheers, Chzz ► 14:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)- Re. correction - ah, ok. I didn't see that until after I'd replied! Also, I probably saw the 'good' version of the page! OK, cool. Cheers, Chzz ► 14:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Where was the response for the above case? I don't recall getting anything in the mailing list? Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 19:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not sure why you didn't get it from the mailing list however you didn't get it in your personal box because of a typo by the ISP (managed to get a ] after your address...). I have forwarded on to your personal address proper now for you :) - Rich(MTCD)Talk Page 22:47, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

ClueBot 3
Are you suggesting maybe a sort of throttling limit placed on CB3's usage? – AJLtalk 15:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Not at all, it's just how it's coded ends up sending my server up the wall... throttling won't be required - Rich(MTCD)Talk Page 21:19, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it is improperly

Compare the indices with the actual history of that page (this is only just one example). – AJLtalk 01:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)- Urm, take that to Cobi, I just run the bots...

Cluebot's error logs
Hello! I'm one of the Admins of Tool Labs, and while investigating huge log files, I found that Cluebot's generating about 1T of error logs every week almost - in /data/project/cluebot/logs/cluebot3.err. Most of them seem to be PHP errors or notices. I've deleted the current log but I think it's still being generated. Can you take a look and maybe fix the errors being reported / turn off error reporting? Thanks! YuviPanda (talk) 17:06, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
