Emergency bot shutoff button
Administrators: Use this button if BsoykaBot is malfunctioning. (direct link)
Non-administrators can report a malfunctioning bot to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
BsoykaBot is exclusion-compliant. If you need to stop the bot from editing just one page, you can add {{Nobots|BsoykaBot}} to its wikitext. However, this should rarely, if ever, be necessary.
If this method fails, the bot may be malfunctioning. See the big red button above.

BsoykaBot would have fixed CS1 errors resulting from a PMC prefix on the value of the |pmc= parameter. The bot would have removed this prefix, running once daily over all the pages in Category:CS1 maint: PMC format. The request was denied as it was determined this partially overlaps with the efforts of another bot.

BsoykaBot replaces proxy links from The Wikipedia Library with their non-proxied versions, running once daily.
Proxy links are truly only helpful to experienced editors who actually have access to The Wikipedia Library. For the vast majority of our users (readers), these links block access to crucial references and external links. A solution, if you desire access to proxied URLs from articles, is to use the Zotero browser extension, which can automatically redirect you through the TWL proxy when appropriate.

BsoykaBot corrects miscapitalizations of "NFL draft" (instead of "NFL Draft") in wikilinks in articles.
This task is currently running daily, with (up to) 1,000 pages checked/edited per run until the initial backlog of miscapitalizations is resolved.
