This user is NOT a humanThis is the combined talk page for ClueBot NG and ClueBot III. These users are automated computer programs and are not humans. Please be aware that bots cannot think like a human and cannot operate outside of their programming. Messages you leave on this talk page will not be answered by a bot – either a bot operator or another human will answer you. Stop 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.

"redundant" sections

Please make the documentation clarify exactly why and when NG creates "duplicate" user talk page sections, such as adding a second - identical - "October 2019" section when an editor (or even NG itself) has already created one. Please provide a succinct summary AND policy links, not just one or the other. I checked the FAQ but it didn't help. I did a casual browse of the archives and sure enough: this has been asked before. Time to improve your docs! :) Thanks CapnZapp (talk) 14:11, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

See here as to why the bot creates duplicate headings. Pinging in Cobi for your comment about improving the documentation and FAQs.-- 5 albert square (talk) 17:18, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

There needs to be a documentation link on User:ClueBot III

User:ClueBot III/Documentation. -- Timeshifter (talk) 04:52, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

It is. It's transcluded onto that page: User:ClueBot III#How your page is archived -- Cobi 04:59, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
There is no link to the documentation. -- Timeshifter (talk) 05:08, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
What do you mean? The documentation is on User:ClueBot III. Why does there need to be a link to it given it is already on that page? -- Cobi 05:10, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Furthermore, readership doesn't make a whole lot of sense on User:ClueBot Commons -- that userpage isn't really used for anything. That's why I removed the template you added. -- Cobi 05:17, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
