Legobot not leaving feedback request messages?
Hi Lego,
It occurred to me I haven't received a talk page message via the feedback request service in a while. When I looked into it, it looks like Legobot hasn't left any such messages since December (as far as I can tell). Is this intentional? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:25, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Last time this happened, somebody had screwed up the formatting of the subscriber lists at WP:FRS (they added a blank line within a list); and when we fixed that, the FRS notices resumed the next morning. This time though, I can't find an edit from December that stands out as a possible culprit. The last successful run was 15 December 2019 so something happened soon after that. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
