Anomie is still around, mostly to maintain AnomieBOT. But after the WMF proved that office politics are more important to them than seemingly anything else, and otherwise generally seem more concerned with their own image than substance, Anomie is not engaging in technical work on MediaWiki.
Despite T360488 asking them not to, Toolforge admins have gone ahead and broken AnomieBOT's scripts. Keeping things running properly will likely require manual intervention until they fix that or give me a usable workaround.
There aren't a whole lot of BAGgers active at the moment. I don't know why the ones active haven't done anything with it yet. Anomie⚔18:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

We've gotten one user Kys5g creating FFD logs before your AnomieBOT recently because your bot seems apparently late to create FFD logs automatically. What can you do about the bot and that user? George Ho (talk) 20:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
As for what can I do about the user, I can ping him and ask why he's creating them so much ahead of time. I see you already tried at User talk:Kys5g#Creating of FFD logs but got a somewhat confused response. I also see on his user page that he has a "This user comes from Vietnam" user box, so perhaps part of it is that he's thinking in UTC+07:00 time? Although he's still been doing it early even for that timezone. Anomie⚔23:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'll try to keep that in mind for the future, but I'd rather not go back and reformat it now. Is there another option to make Legobot happy? Anomie⚔02:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Legobot tries to copy everything up to the first timestamp. I don't remember the exact maximum number of characters it will copy, but if it's longer than that, another editor such as Redrose64 might come along and decide on a short summary for you. So my suggestion is to start with a brief sentence or two with a following timestamp, so you can control what editors who use the lists and the notification service will see. isaacl (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
And how would Redrose64 do that? In some undocumented but useful manner, or by reformatting the RFC itself in a manner that I'd think breaks the flow of it? Anomie⚔03:00, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Without going back to look through their contributions, I believe by doing something like copying your question to the top of the RfC and adding a timestamp at the end. But the point is doing it yourself will forestall getting into a dispute with what someone else does (since even the RfC introductory text is subject to consensus agreement, with English Wikipedia's decision-making traditions). isaacl (talk) 03:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
