Welcome!Welcome to Wikipedia, HardBoiledEggs! Thank you for your contributions. I am Brookie and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

(Whisper...) 08:45, 22 September 2011 (UTC) SignatureThanks for the note - to alter the look of your signature go to "My Preferences" tab and then go to the signature section and edit the look of your siganure in the box available. To get mine i have entered <span style="text-shadow:#808080 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em" class="texhtml">[[User:Brookie|'''<font color="#000888">Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere! </font>''']] [[User talk:Brookie|<sup>(Whisper...)</sup>]]</span> . You can get an idea by looking at signatures you look and looking at the code used by hitting the "edit" button (you don't need to actually edit but it will show you the coding).

RM-bot minor faultThanks for your bot work. This is what i added as the tail of talk:Elk (disambiguation)#Move discussion in progress (re a perhaps 9-months-obsolete message):
In that case, a section entitled "Move request" is now the first heading on the screen, and the heading
could easily have fallen at the top of the page rendering before i started adding text in late sections below that link. Not the most confusing thing on WP, but since such sections start so short, and almost never get lengthened by responses, it may make reconsideration of the bot's wording worthwhile. I appreciate your efforts.
Timing of runsWe really need to get the bot running every 15 minutes starting at the top of the hour. Going several hours without updates is not acceptable. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:46, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Wikilink to other sitesTo link to a different wiki, such as Turkish WP, put a colon after the opening brackets: [[:tr:Main Page]] shows as tr:Main Page. Andreas (T) 13:59, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
RMbotThanks for taking over. RM would be a mess without your help. I wanted to let you know that there is discussion of another bot that may or may not affect RMbot. Your input is appreciated. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/KuduBot 4. Thanks again, Cliff (talk) 19:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC) Missed page?Hi. I wonder if the bot missed Talk:DØ experiment? (ref. Wikipedia talk:Requested moves#RM bot update) Or maybe it happened because I did't subst the template right away? - Soulkeeper (talk) 20:31, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
RM refactoringHi there - you requested a note if/when I tried refactoring the RM page, which I just did. I created two new pages: Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical, and split content from the main page and the /Header subpage over to them, along with changing "uncontroversial" to "technical". Let me know if I messed something up. Thanks! Dohn joe (talk) 23:59, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Bad botThis edit was clearly a mistake. I've had a look and can't find anything obvious that caused it. Might be a new request that's caused it but that's hard to track down seeing as how the bot hasn't listed anything. Dpmuk (talk) 14:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
This has happened before when Harej was running the bot. See User talk:Harej/Archive14#RM bot. As I understand it, it's not a huge deal because it always corrects itself next edit. That said, Harej did say there was a solution, so it might be worth asking him. Jenks24 (talk) 09:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
RMBot and talk page notificationCan RMBot leave a notification to the first pair of indicated move names as well as the second/later pair in a multimove? It keeps coming up that people frequently (atleast 40% of the time) screw up the order, meaning something like Talk:List_of_Fame_(1982_TV_series)_episodes happens, where notification appears on the page where the discussion is occuring, and not on the related multimove page Talk:List_of_Fame_(1982_TV_series)_episodes. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 03:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
RM bot suggesting a null move, perhaps because of quotesPlease help get "Occupy" protests moved to Occupy movement. I don't know what's going on with the bot. If you have the diff for the most interesting interaction I had with RM bot I promise you I'll try to think of a good suggestion. By the way, thanks for your hard work on this. It must be very complicated. Dualus (talk) 03:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Is this correct? I'll go looking for the relevant diffs later and we can work out what needs to be done. Hard Boiled Eggs [talk] 05:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

RM Bot bug?: not recognizing IPA signatures

Multimove request notificationSo, users are still messing up the order of multimove requests. Someone added one to the destination talk page recently, so the notification did not show up at the source talk page. Another person added it to the second source talk page instead of the first. It would be nice if RMbot added notices to destination talk pages (for destinations that exist and aren't redirects), and all source talk pages (for sources that are not redirects). 76.65.128.198 (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2011 (UTC) The Signpost: 12 December 2011

Another missing RM listingThe bot doesn't seem to have picked up on Talk:2012_Wikipedia_blackout#Requested_move either, although unlike the above missing listing, it's only been two hours... still, the template claims that it should be picked up on within a half hour, so I'm wondering if something is wrong? Xmoogle (talk) 13:17, 17 January 2012 (UTC) Missing RM listingIt looks like RM Bot has missed Talk:Costa Concordia disaster#Requested move. It's been days and it's still not on WP:RM. Would you please look in to it? Thank you.

Please comment as to whether my proposal is workable. Thanks, D O N D E groovily Talk to me 03:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC) RMbot and improperly formatted multimovesSo... people are still listing multimoves in the wrong order, and RMbot isn't informing pages of the multimoves, it is informing the pages that have the move discussion of the multimove instead... people just don't read the instructions about which page to place first. I'd suggest the easiest fix is to just inform all the pages involved in a multimove that a move has been requested. Since it already informs the page where the discussion is taking place that the discussion is taking place, double posting isn't an issue as it does that already. (discussion at talk:source2; RMbot notice at Talk:source2; talk:source1 missing any informative notice and also not having the discussion section) And as some people also only list one pair in a multimove request (source1/target1)... it might also be a good idea to place a notice on all target page talk pages as well. Example at: Talk:Charlotte_Checkers_(2010–) (discussion & notice) Talk:Charlotte_Checkers (no discussion or notice) 70.24.251.194 (talk) 08:58, 25 January 2012 (UTC) The Signpost: 23 January 2012
Slightly crazyWhen a RM is on a talk page and the bot insists on there being a new section pointing to the RM, right under the RM section. And doesn't remove that notice when the RM closes either. Can this be tweaked? Rich Farmbrough, 00:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC). The Signpost: 30 January 2012
RMBot and talk page notificationCan RMBot leave a notification to the first pair of indicated move names as well as the second/later pair in a multimove? It keeps coming up that people frequently screw up the order, leaving a situation like that found at Talk:Anthony the Great, where the notification shows up on the discussion page, and the other page Talk:Saint Anthony does not receive notification. (I added the notification on that page) 70.24.247.54 (talk) 08:30, 7 February 2012 (UTC) The Signpost: 06 February 2012
RMbot and notifying destinations something wants to take its placeFor things like Talk:General Nutrition Centers, where a multimove is not requested, but clearly, a displacement of a page to a second location, so that the current page can move there, there should be notification provided at the destination page. RMbot currently doesn't inform pages that exist that something wants to take its name. This seems like it should happen, since it is a multimove request that is improperly formatted. 70.24.247.54 (talk) 04:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC) RM Bot bug?: not recognizing IPA signatures

RM bot suggestion - update wikilinksI don't know if I'm at the right place, but could the RM bot update wikilinks after an approved move request? Specifically, after the A -> A' move request has been approved, could the bot search through the What Links Here of page A and go through those pages (maybe just article pages? there probably should be some rules) and update the wikilinks to A'?
