InceptionBot
Hi! I've noticed InceptionBot has randomly stopped working while compiling entries for February 17 per [9]. A bug maybe? Regards, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 00:57, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Jovanmilic97: Thanks for the heads-up. I restarted it. --Bamyers99 (talk) 01:50, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Update the Bambots tools links
Hello. I'd like to point out that links to bambots.toolforge.org (example) should be updated to bambots.brucemyers.com. While the old page contains a link to the new site, users would prefer to be immediately taken to the new site. C.Ezra.M (talk | contribs) 21:44, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, I should have been more specific. The links to the new article query tool on User:AlexNewArtBot/PolandSearchResult should be updated because they redirect to the old website. C.Ezra.M (talk | contribs) 21:52, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- @C.Ezra.M: Fixed, new site will show up in tomorrows results. --Bamyers99 (talk) 22:13, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

TemplateParam: page links for entries in the "Unique values" column
I was wondering if in the TemplateParam website information, it is possible to add a "page links" link to entries in the "Unique values" column. That way if there is something that needs fixing, it's a simple one click to get a list instead of trying to figure out how to even find the page with the issue.

- @Gonnym: For templates that are widely used, the individual parameter value page usage information is not tracked. There is simply too much data. I have added a search link to search the wiki for pages using that template parameter and value. --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:20, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, this is also useful. Gonnym (talk) 19:51, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Measuring impact on AfroCreatives WikiProject using bambot cleanup tool
Hi @Bamyers99.
I hope you're well.
I'm curious on how to read the data on the line chart and the table on the cleanup tool history page to determine how many articles that are improved and how many issues that are resolved over a given period of time on AfroCreatives WikiProject.
Any clarification you could provide would be highly appreciated. Ceslause (talk) 10:23, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Ceslause: The "New articles" column indicates articles that had no cleanup issue last week, but have a cleanup issue this week. The "Resolved articles" column indicates articles that had a cleanup issue last week, but have no cleanup issue this week. --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:45, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
