Shouldn't things like this go in Wikipedia space? I've deleted the article space versions. Let me know where you'd like to have the last two runs placed. Acroterion (talk) 15:39, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Files

In pages such as Wikipedia:WikiProject_Academic_Journals/Popular_pages, File entries should have a colon in them [[:File:Example.svg]] so they don't display. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 23:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Further, that page should only be in the Category:Lists of popular pages by WikiProject. The current laundry list of categories is wrong. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

And why are many articles belonging to this project not included? I don't see how the current selection was made. --Randykitty (talk) 16:58, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

@Headbomb and Michael Bednarek: How does it look now? Kaldari (talk) 05:43, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

The concerns raised above seem to have addressed. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:54, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Well I can't find any instances of a file being listed in the popular pages, so it's hard to know if it's been fixed or not. But if you say it's been fixed, I'll take your word for it. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 10:55, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

@Randykitty: The list is comprised of the 500 most-viewed pages for the past month. Kaldari (talk) 05:44, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

February 2017

There seems to have been an error; see your edit to A which has been reverted. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:31, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this until today. Yeah, that was an error and has been fixed. Won't happen again. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 18:20, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Lists of popular pages by WikiProject

@NKohli (WMF): Thanks for updating these pages again. Is it possible to add Category:Lists of popular pages by WikiProject next time?. They used to be in that category. Christian75 (talk) 08:16, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Christian75:, yes, the Category will appear on the pages next time the bot runs. :) Thanks for reporting! -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 18:19, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Database_reports/Editors_eligible_for_Autopatrol_privilege

Hi there, I'm wondering if it might be possible to run the bot to update the Editors eligible for Autopatrol privilege report. If I'm reading the history correctly, it last updated March 30, 2017. It's the subject of a good deal of interest at Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers as we try to find some way to make inroads to the new pages backlog, so having a current report would be so helpful. Thanks much! Innisfree987 (talk) 06:47, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, we're currently working on improving that report. It's extremely slow to run currently and needs a bunch of improvements. I'll let you know when we update it. Thank you! -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 04:03, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your attention to this NKohli (WMF)--I've noticed the bot's tried to run a couple times lately and just blanked the page, so I figured there must be something going on with it. Really appreciate your work to sort it out! Innisfree987 (talk) 19:22, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

@Innisfree987: The new and improved report is here! Let us know what you think. Regards, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 20:01, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Request

Could you add WikiProject Evolutionary Biology to the next project run please? Also incidentally, can I just you add instructions on some of the category pages/talk page etc. for how to request a project to be added to the popular pages list? Thanks 193.60.83.75 (talk) 19:27, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I've updated the link on this bot's user page to point to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Popular_pages_bot which includes instructions on how to subscribe projects via User:Community Tech bot/Popular pages config.json. I've added your project (diff), it should run with June's update. — TBolliger (WMF) (talk) 20:15, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Request: please add "Wikipedia:Tip of the day"

Greetings, Saw the newest Popular pages at WP Catholicism, most helpful to cleanup a lot of articles. Could you please add Wikipedia:Tip of the day to the bot. I am somewhat computer challenged, and not sure how to add. Regards, — JoeHebda • (talk) 21:21, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, what do you mean by Wikipedia:Tip of the day? -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 04:02, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Wrapping timestamp in onlyinclude tags

Hi. Re: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Database_reports/Editors_eligible_for_Autopatrol_privilege&diff=783110734&oldid=783057930&diffonly=1>, we can probably find another way to extract the timestamp these days instead of using transclusion, but that's what we're currently using with Template:DBR row, so we have to support it for now. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

MusikAnimal, MusikAnimal, NKohli: Hi. ^^^ The report updates are breaking Wikipedia:Database reports. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:12, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Fixed! Sorry about that! MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

No worries. The behavior is a bit goofy and esoteric. :-) Thanks for the fix! --MZMcBride (talk) 14:52, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
