== Noisy bot ==

{{canonicalurl:File:Divyesh.jpg|curid=65972064&action=history}} – this algorithm is silly. It is reasonable to ''find'' problematical pages by browsing through redirected categories. But, before publishing an edit to a specific page, check ''all'' categories on the page, please.

Hi R'n'B,

Lobatus gigas - http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=564730 - is the real, now accepted name. Eustrombus gigas is a synonym - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobatus_gigas. Please stop your bot. Regards.

: If the bot moved pages out of one category into another one, it did so because the first category contains a {{tl|category redirect}} template. The bot did not put that template there; a Commons user did. The bot does not create any category redirects, nor does it have any way of determining whether they are correct or not; that has to be done by humans. If you think the first page should not be a redirect, or should be redirected to some other target, you can either change it yourself, discuss it with the user who put the template there in the first place, or raise the issue through the Commons:Categories for discussion process. --[[User:R&#39;n&#39;B|R&#39;n&#39;B]] ([[User talk:R&#39;n&#39;B#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:51, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! ==

Hello, 

[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. 

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. 

Thank you!

== Mariä Himmelfahrt Bleialf ==

Du hast im vergangenen Jahr zahlreiche Bilder von der Kategorie "Mariä Himmelfahrt Bleialf" nach "Mariä Himmelfahrt Düsseldorf-Flingern" verschoben. Einen Teil habe ich schon rückgängig gemacht. Es wäre gut, wenn Du auch noch die restlichen Verschiebungen rückgängig machen könntest. 

Es sind noch 20 Bilder, die fälschlicherweise umkategorisiert sind. 

[[Special:Contributions/93.133.124.85|93.133.124.85]] 09:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

: There is no [[:Category:Mariä Himmelfahrt Bleialf]].  There ''is'' a [[:Category:Mariä-Himmelfahrtkirche (Bleialf)]], and I assume that is the one you are talking about.  Before you start putting files into that category, you really should read the very prominent message at the top of the category description page, which I believe will appear in German for your convenience. --[[User:R&#39;n&#39;B|R&#39;n&#39;B]] ([[User talk:R&#39;n&#39;B#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:50, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

== RussBot ==

Hi! Sorry for bad English, I'm an italian user. To get your bot through on a category-redirect to replace the category with the category it redirects to on the file pages, do I have to request you or someone or the bot passes autonomously automatically sooner or later? A few days ago I moved [[:Category:Streets of Noli]] at the better title [[:Category:Streets in Noli]], adapting to the titles of other similar categories, but the bot has not yet gone to replace it in the 109 files of the category-redirect and I would be interested in it passing, since there won't be 5000 images but there are not even 10, and time is scarce. Would it be a problem to ask you to let it pass? Rather I could also think about it but it would definitely take much more time, because I'm not a bot :-D. I thank you in advance if you can get it through. Good continuation. --[[User:Capricornis crispus|Capricornis crispus]] ([[User talk:Capricornis crispus|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:08, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

However, they exist. The change you made to {{tl|WorksOccitanie}} will result in some pages being categorized into ''both'' [[:Category:1900 in present-day Occitanie]] and [[:Category:1900 in Occitanie]], the latter of which is a redirect to the former.

At first, I appreciate the powerful bot [[User:RussBot]].

: The cooldown period is seven days, so if you had just been a little more patient .... :-)  The purpose of this is to allow for users to revert category moves and edits, if necessary, before the bot empties them out.  I'm honestly not sure how effective it is, since some questionable redirects seem to persist for ''much'' longer than seven days without being noticed, but I think it's better than nothing. --[[User:R&#39;n&#39;B|R&#39;n&#39;B]] ([[User talk:R&#39;n&#39;B#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:54, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

* {{u|MILEPRI}}, I see that you now have copied the content that used to be in [[:Category:Stachys officinalis subsp. serotina]] and pasted it into [[:Category:Betonica officinalis var. serotina]]. So that eliminates the problem of a circular redirect, but it now causes licensing issues, because the history of the new page does not identify the author(s) of the original page.

Currently, this bot is "correcting" <nowiki>#redirect [[Category...]]</nowiki> to use the broken template Category Redirect.

When the redirect is standard, Commons ''automatically'' corrects the links to point to the correct category. When Russbot uses the broken template, pages simply treat the empty redirect page as an entirely valid category. Don't do that.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Llywelyn<font color="Gold">II</font></span>]] 13:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

== Why change of Category from ‘Live Concerts’ to ‘Concerts’? ==

In this edit https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Caroline_O%27Connor_at_Night_of_1000_Voices.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=810611113 the edit note states that the image Live Concerts category has been shuffled up to Concerts.

The event depicted was a live concert. Why is ‘Live Concerts’ not a suitable Category? According to [[:Category:Concerts]] the category ‘Concerts’ has become too crowded.

== Hiddencat normalization ==

If you are interested, you could include [[Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Hidden_categories_added_as_Category:Hidden_categories]] in the daily run of the bot <small>(replace <nowiki>[[Category:Hidden categories]]</nowiki> with <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>)</small> ?

== Postcards ==

Hello R'n'B, thanks for your work with RussBot. Your bot added unsorted postcards to the [[:Category:Postcards]]. This is helpful, but it is possible to change the target. Can your bot put this postcards to the [[:Category:Unsorted postcards]]? This is our working-category. We, the helper of [[Commons:WikiProject Postcards]], will try to sort these postcards from this category into the best possible categories at the next opportunity. Thanks --[[User:Stefan Kühn|sk]] ([[User talk:Stefan Kühn|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
: To prevent this from happening in the future, the target of the redirect on [[:Category:Carte postale]] should be changed. --[[User:R&#39;n&#39;B|R&#39;n&#39;B]] ([[User talk:R&#39;n&#39;B#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
::Ok, with this information, I'd rather leave everything as it is. It's not that important. Thanks --[[User:Stefan Kühn|sk]] ([[User talk:Stefan Kühn|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
