| :Anyone can report false positives. When you enter the revert ID, you'll be taken to a page that shows the change that ClueBot NG reverted, along with some information about the edit. If you scroll down to the bottom, you should see a button that says "Report false positive". Click that button. If you see comments, instead, it has already been reported. If instead you see "Reverted: No," then that means that ClueBot NG does not believe that it actually reverted the edit, so there is nothing to report. -- ]<sup>(]|]|])</sup> 09:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC) | |||

False positives and false negativesIf you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor. ClueBot NG Links!Report False Positives •

Reporting false positives on others' accounts
Are users allowed to report false positives (FP/FPs) if they are not the target of the reversion? I have been trying to report two FPs on someone else's account and I am not sure that I have succeeded. I get to the bit where I'm invited to put in the ClueBot number, I do so, it shows me the relevant edit but then there is no Submit or Continue button, so I am not sure that it has worked. If I look at the list of reported FPs I don't find my two concerns in it. I'm sorry if I am being stupid or have missed an FAQ but I can't see what I should do next. All advice gratefully received.

- Anyone can report false positives. When you enter the revert ID, you'll be taken to a page that shows the change that ClueBot NG reverted, along with some information about the edit. If you scroll down to the bottom, you should see a button that says "Report false positive". Click that button. If you see comments, instead, it has already been reported. If instead you see "Reverted: No," then that means that ClueBot NG does not believe that it actually reverted the edit, so there is nothing to report. -- Cobi 09:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
