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 is a pending changes reviewer - why?
ClueBot NG is flagged as a pending changes reviewer. But, it have never accepted pending changes (https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Log?type=review&user=ClueBot+NG&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=accept) or unaccepted accepted revisions (https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Log?type=review&user=ClueBot+NG&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=unaccept), so it has never used the rights. Furthermore, looking at the BRFAs I found I don't see any approval to act as a reviewer. The rights were added by @Cobi in 2010 with the summary "+ClueBot's flags." - are these still needed?

- If a editor who is not +PC undoes an edit by another editor, wouldn't that "undo" edit appear a pending? DMacks (talk) 03:36, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- @DMacks: no - all autoconfirmed users have autoreview. +PC just allows accepting (or unaccepting) edits by users without autoreview (ip / non-confirmed) DannyS712 (talk) 03:48, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- I just applied the same flags that ClueBot had at the time, as ClueBot was being decommissioned and ClueBot NG was replacing it. See this log entry for when that right was added to ClueBot. -- Cobi 23:58, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Weird archive index
I just saw User:ClueBot III/Indices/User talk:Pluma. ClueBot III is doing it, but I don't think this is intended behaviour. Instead of an index of archives it's a list of articles. Huon (talk) 22:43, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's been doing that for years in numerous locations, with no explanation having been provided as to why it does this. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:50, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's usually due to an incorrect archiveprefix setting. In this case, it's the space between the equals and User talk:Pluma. -- Cobi 21:58, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
