{{ping|Hawkeye7}} FACBot posted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Vami_IV&diff=prev&oldid=1210096247 this], despite the fact that the page contains <code><nowiki>{{nobots}}</nowiki></code>. Just letting you know FYI, as the [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/FACBot|BRFA]] says that it should be exclusion compliant. |

What does the bot use to identify where to update this page? I'm intending to move it over to CSS Grid / more flexy / media query-ey and I don't want to mess with the bot. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 23:07, 23 September 2022 (UTC) |

Hi Hawkeye, the bot doesn't seem to have closed this withdrawn nom although I can't see anything obvious like a change of article name mid-review or some such. OTOH the nominator had themselves removed the FAC template from the article talk page before I performed the archive -- that screw up the works...?

This list was [[WP:Featured_list_candidates/Green_Bay_Packers_draft_history/archive1|promoted]] on March 24, 2024, and FACBot added the [[Template:Featured list|featured list template]] to a section of the article and not to the top of it ({{diff2|1215251511|diff here}}).

[[Bengali language movement]] was switched out, but [[WP:URFA/2020A]] still shows it at 2023-02-21 (that needs to be reverted to its maindate1). I don't mind changing them manually if necessary, as that sort of thing is rare and probably hard to code, but I'm not sure if I'll be notified on all of them.

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikipedia&diff=prev&oldid=1137503736 this edit], FACBot added an AfD to the template and listed the result as "Speedy keep (joke AFD for April Fools Day)", which the template cannot parse.

Hi @[[User:Hawkeye7|Hawkeye7]], just wanted to report that when [[List of accolades received by Joker (2019 film)]] was promoted and FACBot placed the [[Template:featured list|featured list template]], it also resulted in an extraneous space being added to the top of the article ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_accolades_received_by_Joker_%282019_film%29&diff=1228009657&oldid=1226715552 see diff here]).
