The bot can easily handle multiple projects at a time: Everything below can be specified on a per-project basis. If there is significant overlap (e.g. articles in Category:Physicists are likely in the scope of both WP:WikiProject Physics and WP:WikiProject Biography), please consider requesting tagging for all the projects at once. The terms of the bot's approval require that each WikiProject involved approve the list of categories to be processed. In your request, please link to the discussion on each wikiproject's talk page showing this approval. If you do not do this, I will have to post at the talk pages myself and wait a week for replies. That discussion should address all of the following points:

OrphanReferenceFixer: Blacklisted orphaned reference in Solidarnost Arena - Fixed
When trying to fix orphaned refs in Solidarnost Arena, MediaWiki's spam blacklist complained about sportsmatik.com. This probably means someone didn't properly clean up after themselves when blacklisting the link and removing existing uses, but a human needs to double-check it. The attempted changes were:
- Solidarnost Arena revision 1018865313:
- Rescued "sportsmatik" from rev 1011198842
Removed in revision 1014629646 by Zoglophie (talk • contribs • logs) with comment "/* Description */Blacklisted spam" (removed 210/18581 bytes, 1%)
- Rescued "sportsmatik" from rev 1011198842
You might also use {{subst:User:Anomie/uw-orphans|1=rm diff|2=fix diff}} to let the remover know, if their edit summary indicates they were specifically removing the blacklisted ref. When you have fixed this issue, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. I will repost the notice if the page is still broken or is re-broken. Thanks! AnomieBOT⚡ 11:47, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Why am I mentioned here again (for 3rd time) ? 🌌Zoglophie🌌 12:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Zoglophie: Because you have a habit of removing blacklisted references but leaving "orphan" references to the name behind, which results in a big red error in the article. When you remove a blacklisted reference, be sure to remove any other references using the same name as well. Anomie⚔ 12:48, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Didn't knew about that, will try to solve the problem. Regards 🌌Zoglophie🌌 13:04, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
OrphanReferenceFixer: Blacklisted orphaned reference in Faye Dunaway - fixed

- I have NO idea what you're saying or asking of me. If you're complaining about an edit - feel free to revert it. — Ched (talk) 00:08, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- AnomieBOT is a bot, not a human editor. In this edit, you removed a named reference but left behind a
<ref name="filmreference"/>
that had been referring to it, which resulted in a big red error in the article. AnomieBOT tried to fix it by replacing that<ref name="filmreference"/>
with the ref content that had been removed, but as the link is blacklisted it failed. So it complained here so a human could look at things in context and fix it. It looks like you did so in Special:Diff/1019712999. Anomie⚔ 12:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- AnomieBOT is a bot, not a human editor. In this edit, you removed a named reference but left behind a

Further requests for change at Wikipedia peer review
Hi Anomie, following a discussion at WT:PR, Special:Permalink/1020969927, could I request some additional changes to the bot:
- When the bot closes a review, if the review is listed at (Template:FAC peer review sidebar), remove the link to the peer review page
- Don't close unopened peer review pages (defined as reviews which have only ever been edited by one editor, or which are listed here: Template:Peer review/Unanswered peer reviews sidebar)
- Change the definition of inactivity to one month
- When above are done, point the bot to Category:Current peer reviews, instead of Category:Current peer reviews pending closure. This removes the unnecessary step of waiting for Wikipedia's internal category system to put the page in that category; the bot does already an excellent job of working out which reviews to close so there is no reason not to move it to the category that lists all active peer reviews.
These changes would provide more help at Wikipedia:Peer review and I'm most appreciative of your help so far including to my ridiculous request above :P. Please let me know what other information I can provide. Many thanks, Tom (LT) (talk) 03:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Tom (LT): Done (mostly). For #1, per your previous request the bot will not ever close a review that's listed at Template:FAC peer review sidebar so I didn't add code to do that. For #3, the definition is already 1 month; it formerly took longer because the templates didn't populate the category the bot looked at for 2 months. I also removed the code checking Category:Requests for peer review pending closure, which I see you had deleted. Anomie⚔ 18:57, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thank YOU! Is there a log somewhere where I can keep an eye on Anomie Bot's good work? Tom (LT) (talk) 07:45, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- There's no public log for this task. You could watch for edit summaries linking to User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/PeerReviewArchiver. Anomie⚔ 12:54, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, great. Also regarding featured articles - SandyGeorgia is the editor involved with peer review related FA articles and has indicated she'd also be happy if the bot could auto close those reviews after one month of inactivity also (on the page we linked). You can see how the list has massively blown out: Template:FAC peer review sidebar) so I think the bot's work would be quite useful there also. Would that be possible?

Pending changes task bug
For AnomieBOT III's TFA pending changes task, it looks like there is a bug where if a page is already protected with pending changes, the bot will incorrectly modify the expiration date. See [1] for an example. If a page is already protected with pending changes, then the bot shouldn't modify the pending changes settings. Mz7 (talk) 00:55, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

User:AnomieBOT III
Hello, Anomie,
Typically, AnomieBOT III updates its broken redirect list every 6 hours but it's now missed two updates. I guess it's possible that we've gone 12 hours without any broken redirects on the entire project but I haven't seen that happen before. Just thought I'd inquire now as I won't be awake when its next update is due to be posted. Liz Read! Talk! 00:49, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Looks like toolforge is having some replication lag, toolforge:replag is reporting 20 hours of lag at the moment. Anomie⚔ 01:52, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
User:AnomieBOT/EDITREQTable
Hi, can AnomieBOT be updated to reflect the rename of Category:Requested edits to Category:Wikipedia requested edits over at User:AnomieBOT/EDITREQTable? I manually updated the page, and naturally the bot reinstated the old category name. ✗plicit 12:35, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- More importantly, your changing of the category made the bot empty the table. Done Anomie⚔ 13:11, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
DRV discussion deletion problem
AnomieBOT keeps removing the transclusion of Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 May 31 from Wikipedia:Deletion review/Active.[2] I'm sure it is due some garbage at the header of Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 May 31. Can you see to this, please? It's beyond my abilities. Thincat (talk) 18:22, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Thincat: Special:Diff/1026383100 should fix it. I just followed the instructions about using {{subst:drv2}} and looked at what differed from what was there. Anomie⚔ 23:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- @S Marshall: You may be interested in the above too, given your edits to Wikipedia:Deletion review/Active. Anomie⚔ 23:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Small modification request to TemplateTalkRedirectCreator
Hey, could you modify the code in the task TemplateTalkRedirectCreator to use the canonical name of the template {{Redirect category shell}} and also move the tag {{R from remote page}} to a new line as it's easier to read and add other tags. Thanks. Gonnym (talk) 12:45, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Done I also added a blank line between the redirect code and template and started using {{R from remote talk page}}. Anomie⚔ 11:44, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
A WikiProjectTagger run for Marvel Cinematic Universe task force
Hello. I'd like to request the bot to run its WikiProjectTagger to tag relevant articles for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Marvel Cinematic Universe task force. A run of this bot is being discussed (and supported) here. The run would be for all articles within Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe and Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts to tag the templates {{WikiProject Film}} and/or {{WikiProject Television}} with |mcu=yes
. In thinking through this request, I believe there may be some articles, etc. that might not have either of these templates. If that is the case, does the bot have the ability to add full templates? If so, {{WikiProject Film}} should be the one that is added, with the "mcu" parameter. I'm also pinging @Gonnym: who was helping me (and pointed me to this bot) in case they see any issues with the proposals or anything that should be added. If there are any questions, please let me know. I am watching but a ping wouldn't hurt either. Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:28, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Also Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe task force and Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe templates. Gonnym (talk) 08:36, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Favre1fan93 and Gonnym: Should classes and/or importance be copied from other banners? Other than that, it looks like I have all the info I'll need. Ping me when the discussion is closed. Anomie⚔ 12:00, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- Classes yes, as we are just a task force, so we'd take the class designation of either the Film or Television banner as it exists. I'd say importance let's hold off, as we might want to first establish out of our articles what should be defined as what. Anomie as we are running just within our defined categories (and not a wide breadth of them), the discussion has no objections and can be considered closed. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 13:13, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Anomie there wasn't anyone opposing to this in the discussion. Can the bot begin with the tagging? Gonnym (talk) 11:36, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Favre1fan93 and Gonnym: So... There's only 108 pages in all four of those categories. Is that really all you intended? If you wanted "all subcats", please have at least two project members look through the list at User:Anomie/Sandbox8 and confirm that every category actually does have valid articles. You can delete any from the list that don't. Anomie⚔ 15:00, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, the intention was all sub-cats and all pages in the sub-cats. We've worked on the category tree over the years so there shouldn't be any page that doesn't belong there. I've sorted the list into two groups, Those that should have the TV template and those that should have the Film template. In both situations just add
|mcu=yes
. In some situations there might be both templates, that's ok and add the parameter to both. Gonnym (talk) 15:07, 12 June 2021 (UTC)- Yes, Gonnym's delineation looks correct for categories that should definitely have the Television template, and those that should definitely have the Film template. As stated, if articles within such categories happen to have both templates, that is fine and both should be tagged. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:26, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Also, why Perl dude? Couldn't you just made it from Python or Java? They both have excellent API and extension support. Maybe you could convert it to Python or Java, maybe not Java, but you get what I mean, right?

- Why not Perl? It's my go-to language for quick scripts that do things more complex than what's easily doable in Bash. Rewriting it at all would be a big project, and first I'd have to learn Python (which I've never yet gotten around to). Anomie⚔ 12:02, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Mistargeted welcome messages.
Hello! I just reverted an edit from this bot to the *wiki* page for "Tropism".
It looks like the bot needs better targeting to limit user welcome messages to user pages.
Edit: Oh. It looks like an IP user added "\{\{hello\}\}" (no backslashes) to the end of the page and the bot replaced the template message with the contents of the template message. Probably should add a condition to limit template replacement for that template to user pages.
211.245.254.29 (talk) 00:45, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Indeed, it was not the fault of AnomieBOT, which merely carried out one of its instructions - that all instances of
{{hello}}
should be altered to{{subst:hello}}
. The problem edit was this one. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:16, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
