This edit: [1] broke the user notification line, see: Template talk:Db-meta#Wrong parameter on user message. Andreas (T) 23:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
This bot changed {{painting-stub}} into the non-existent {{Infobox Painting-stub}}: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] etc. DAVID ŠENEK 11:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, check the edit history for above -- the bot changed "WPBiography" to "WikiProjectBannersiography", and also inserted the DiscWorld template into the middle of an existing template.-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 21:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Not sure what category it's going by, but I couldn't see any mention of opera in the article. [7] dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 11:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
You are deleting all foreignchar templates - while the TFD has not yet finished. Agathoclea ( talk) 22:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
The bot is not including squad numbers, I vital part of the infobox. Don't know where to post this but could you please remedy this please. Many thanks. Londo 06 22:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
'foo–bar'
is converted to 'foo','bar'
with no way to tell what separator was in between. There's no way for the code to tell which is the last set of years to split, the difference between an incomplete dateset (ie end-year just not specified) and one where the player is still playing, or even what to do to make the dash appear. Probably what you'll need to do is go round adding |year#end=present
wherever the player is still playing. Sorry about that.

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Category:C-Class Marillion-related articles, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Category:C-Class Marillion-related articles has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (
CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Category:C-Class Marillion-related articles, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

These templates are not at all comparable: the default for multi-listen is left align, with full-width captions that can span the page. The default for listen is right align with limited-width and put in a box. The replacement has played merry havoc with all articles that had a media section, which will probably take months to fix. Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 10:05, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
An example may help: Here is how the Media section in Jules Massenet should look:
Here's how it looked after Melonbot changed it.
I think you can see the problem. Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk) 10:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Please stop. Your bot has made an incorrect edit to coprolalia, twice. The date format there is day month year; please see WP:CITE#Citation templates and tools and refrain from changing established citation methods without gaining consensus. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 13:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
{{
cite web}}
and {{
citation/core}}
over how exactly to handle date formatting. But again, while I agree that the result is not correct, that does not mean it is the bot's fault. How in heaven is the bot supposed to 'know' that dmy would be more appropriate on the article? All it sees is that the citation currently uses |accessmonthday=
, which in the old days was specifically intended to force display in mdy format. From that it concludes that the format should be mdy; similarly for when it sees the |accessdaymonth=
parameter, which used to force display in dmy. Although the result is wrong, it is because the original citation was also wrong. Garbage in, garbage out. I'm certainly not trying to impose mdy on anyone: I'm a Brit too, it seems just as ridiculous to me as to most other people that we have this dichotomy in the first place. But it's certainly not appropriate to be using automated tools to convert from one format to the other.

melon 22:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Noticed that the bot missed a case. See
Yucca gloriosa. The name of the template is something like cite web
. I don't have any idea how many cases there are like this. I guess the bot has to eat the extra spaces some how. Maybe cite [ ]+web
. Thanks for all the great work. No replay necessary. --

The bot has failed to close Template:Community area correctly, because it still has an under consideration tag on it.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 07:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
{{
Infobox Settlement}}
). In general we leave the TfD notice on the template in such cases so they are not forgotten.

And please only these subcategories of Category Jupiter:
Thank you for your assistance...We will be sure to publicise the useful services of your bot to our group.-- Novus Orator 21:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
