DYKHousekeepingBot appears to be downShubinator, the bot last ran at 20:26; it's now 04:51 and it hasn't been heard from again, despite a new date having been added to the list at 00:01, and various other changes having been made in the interim. Thanks for whatever you can do to get it moving again. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:52, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
Another untranscluded DYK nominations listShubinator, it's been a while since I last requested a list. I found some of the more obvious ones looking at Category:Pending DYK nominations, but much of what's left is hiding in the crowds of properly transcluded ones. Thanks for taking the time to produce this for me; it may be longer than usual... BlueMoonset (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
DYKcheck inflating prose character count?Shubinator, we've had a case here where DYKcheck is returning 2144 prose characters, and even if you do include the "Citations" and "Bibliography" subheaders in the Reference section (which are indeed just text, but shouldn't be considered prose), I only see 1941 characters when I pull all the prose out into Word and count it there. The nominator is getting similar numbers using a variety of tools. Can you please take a look and see what's amiss here? Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
DYKUpdateBot didn't do the midnight promotionShubinator, I hope you're feeling better now. DYKUpdateBot didn't do the promotion about 30 minutes ago at 00:00 UTC. This was the night we were going to go back from twice daily updates to one a day, so this is a little bit awkward. I'm going to see whether Materialscientist is around and can do a manual update, but in case you stop by tonight, a check of the UpdateBot would be great. (HousekeepingBot seems just fine; it ran a few minutes ago at 00:28 UTC.) BlueMoonset (talk) 00:35, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
Bot migration Ubuntu → DebianFYI to my talk page stalkers, as of ~00:43 today DYKUpdateBot and DYKHousekeepingBot were migrated off of Toolforge's Ubuntu grid and onto Toolforge's Debian grid. This was necessary because the Ubuntu grid will be decommissioned next week; more details from the Toolforge folks here. As part of the migration both bots are running on much newer software, in particular newer versions of Java. In theory this shouldn't cause issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if something comes up. As always, please drop a note here if either of the bots are misbehaving. For the curious, the latest DYKUpdateBot update was delayed because I ran into a bug during the migration where the bot couldn't login. It's not related to the newer software on the Debian grid, the bug would have cropped up the next time DYKUpdateBot was restarted. I've fixed this so we should be good to go now.

About DYKUpdateBotHello, this bot is wondeful, how can I intergrated this bot into my Wiki? I'm at the Vietnamese Wikipedia. Thanks! phjtieudoc (Talk) 12:01, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
DYKUpdateBot is down againNo updates since yesterday. — Maile (talk) 00:12, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
Both DYK bots downShubinator, the DYKHousekeepingBot went down at around 12:00 UTC, and the DYKUpdateBot didn't do its 00:00 UTC update of the main page. I'm about to head over to Materialscientist's talk page and see whether he can do a manual update. Please see what you can do to get the bots back on their feet when you see this. Many thanks.

New parameter for DYK botHi Shubinator, {{Article history}} has a new parameter called Use of ' with DYK bot: ProgrammingError: (1064, ...)Used with ' gives this error [ProgrammingError: (1064, ...)]. --MarMi wiki (talk) 20:56, 20 April 2019 (UTC) And DYK bot may have problem with some usernames. --MarMi wiki (talk) 21:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
DYKHousekeepingbot appears to be down (don't know about DYKUpdatebot yet)Shubinator, DYKHousekeepingbot last ran today at 16:58 UTC, yet there has been a great deal of activity since then: one new nomination, two approvals, and seven promotions to prep from the regular approved section. (There may also have been promotions from the Special Occasions section, but that doesn't affect the bot.) Can you please take a look and see what's up? And, in case you see this before midnight UTC, check DYKUpdateBot just to make sure it's okay. I'll try to keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't run, I'll post here again and try to get an admin to take up the slack. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:14, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
DYKUpdateBot date off-by-one?Looking at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2019/May (which currently redirects to Wikipedia:Recent additions), shows various DYKs for 2 May 2019. However, checking the talk pages of the articles says the DYK was 1 May 2019 (and I think that is correct). An example from the 1 May 2019 list is Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick whereas its DYK was 30 April 2019 according to talk. Similarly, Wikipedia:Recent additions/2019/April#30 April 2019 shows Aporometra wilsoni on 30 April 2019 but talk says 29 April 2019. I noticed that because the current main page includes a DYK for Hermann Herlitz and its talk links the DYK to Wikipedia:Recent additions/2019/May#2 May 2019 which is already occupied.

ArbCom 2019 special circular
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:52, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community. Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered. For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC) DYKUpdateBot stopped working againDYK's latest update was done manually. Please restart the bot. — Maile (talk) 14:39, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Pictures in {{DYK talk}}Looking at {{DYK talk}}, there seems to be a parameter to feature images that run in DYK on the respective article talk pages (see Talk:Isochrone map, for example), which doesn't seem to be utilised for recent DYK hooks. Should User:DYKUpdateBot be configured to automatically do this for future DYK sets? — RAVENPVFF · talk · 13:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
DYKHousekeepingbot?Shubinator, I can't find any reason for the bot to be down, such as an unclosed "small" tag, but the bot last ran at 16:23, 9 June 2019 (UTC) and it's now about 06:37 on 10 June, and the appropriate update adding June 10 was made over six hours ago, which should have triggered a new bot run even if nothing else did. Can you please take a look? Many thanks. (Sorry if I missed something obvious.) BlueMoonset (talk) 06:49, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
Yet another untranscluded DYK nominations listShubinator, it looks like I've waited rather a while: it's over four months since I last requested a list. It shouldn't be quite as bad as it might be, as I've found a number looking at Category:Pending DYK nominations, but much of what's left is hiding in the crowds of properly transcluded ones. Thanks for taking the time to produce this for me when you get the chance. Hope all is well! BlueMoonset (talk) 17:24, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
