I haven't been following this too closely, but I've heard that notifications are coming. Is this implemented and if so how do I sign up. I would appreciate not having to worry abut PearBOT going down without it being noticed again. --Trialpears (talk) 13:44, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery it's an issue with piped link. This was the only summary_regex on the page with a piped link - and it's complicated. We can't just use [[WP:G13|CSD G13]] because the pipe character changes the meaning of the regex. If we escape it as \[\[WP:G13\|CSD G13\]\] then the template parser (both MediaWiki's and the bot's) will think the summary_regex ended when the | is encountered. If we escape it as [[WP:G13{{!}}CSD G13]] the template parsing will work but then the regex matching will obviously fail. Using [[WP:G13\|CSD G13]] will I think work for the bot, but it will cause a red link to oddly show up on the configs page. So for now I changed the summary_regex to not use a piped link. – SD0001 (talk) 06:12, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I think I screwed up my bot activity monitor config for the task "Notify users of DYK nominations"... the bot made this edit with a summary matching the one I specified, I think, but it still says the bot hasn't edited for that task in six months. I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:53, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Enterprisey see the section above. It's the infamous piped link problem. As of now, the only solution is to write the summary_regex without including a piped link. – SD0001 (talk) 07:30, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
