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.

Bug with ClueBot III

This archive from my talk page removed a equals sign from a section further down. That section was too new to be archived, so it shouldn't have been touched unless it was trying to update links to archived discussions. Dreamy Jazz 09:57, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

And again, with two sections this time Dreamy Jazz 13:31, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

A bug? Bot removed an equal sign from section titles

In this edit Special:Diff/997662785 bot has removed one '=' character from titles of two sections. No idea, whether it has something to do with inline HTML comments appended to those titles. --CiaPan (talk) 12:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I just noticed this behaviour too; this bot is inappropriately removing a leading '=' from talk page section headers; see this diff. I had already fixed the problem once! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 21:38, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, the section parser in the bot doesn't understand section headers that have anything after the closing = in a header. The section parser is a bit of a mess because wikitext is somewhat complicated to parse anyway. I'll see if I can spend some time to fix the parser, but for now, maybe edit that particular template not to do that? It's the first template I've seen that uses comments after a header. -- Cobi 23:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Bots' infobox images

Why is it that the noncombatant ClueBot III has a more aggressive profile picture than ClueBot NG (actively bombing versus merely flying)? :-) —2d37 (talk) 10:02, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

What? Bombing? No, those are threads being archived into oblivion! :P -- Cobi 23:50, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
