This user is NOT a human

This 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.

False positives and false negatives

If 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.

Question regarding ClueBot

Can I please see the source? (A github url for ClueBot) ? Is it being run on someone's PC or is it being run in the cloud? I have more questions than I have answers coming to this page.

Thanks Vidyagamerfromaus (talk) 12:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vidyagamerfromaus the bot runs on Wikimedia Toolforge and its source code is here. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:47, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About ClueBot III JustArchiveThis

Why the default are set to |format=Y/F when format= %%i is better according to the documentation?

Also can I to switch to numbered formats later? Or it's not possible because it will break the bot? - Ivan530 (Talk) 14:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because someone added that comment to the documentation without updating User:ClueBot III/JustArchiveThis. But I prefer dated archives, myself, because they just make more sense to me, but it's a debated issue. From a technical perspective, it's (slightly) better for the bot and the Wikipedia servers to use dated archives since then the bot doesn't have to "find" the right archive by checking the sizes of archives, it just knows based on the date. This isn't a big deal, but when it comes to defaults for a popular bot where most people won't care one way or another, it's better generally that the default be the more efficient option. — Naomi Amethyst 23:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ClueBot-related statements

I have three statements about ClueBot Commons.

For some time, I have wondered if we should reinstate ClueBot so it works alongside ClueBot NG in finding and reverting vandalism. It has been on a WikiBreak for a long time, and I wondered if we should reinstate it and improve upon ClueBot so there would be two anti-vandalism bots working concurrently, similar to how we have ClueBot III and Lowercase sigmabot III archiving pages.
When should an administrator switch ClueBot II/Run to "True"? This bot has not been used since 2014, and I have wondered when ClueBot II will be back in service.
I am interested in helping review ClueBot NG's dataset to help identify vandalism and constructive edits in its corpus and to learn machine learning. I signed up for helping review the dataset, but my account is pending approval.
