ClueBot NG: Reverting vandalism failure

ClueBot NG's task "Reverting vandalism" failed to run per the configuration specified at Misplaced Pages:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 2 hours, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 01:20, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
