User:Wikinews Importer Bot for WikivoyageHi Misza. I'm not sure if you're aware, but a new Wikimedia project recently launched in beta: Wikivoyage. I hail from there and the community is discussing the possibility of listing travel-related items from Wikinews on the Main Page. To do this, we would propose a new Travel category over on Wikinews, but following on from the Wikipedia portal examples, we may require a bot such as Wikinews Importer Bot. Would it be possible for you to deploy the bot on Wikivoyage some time in the future? Its main purpose would be to pull items from a travel category on Wikinews and place them into a template for Wikivoyage's Main Page. There's the opportunity to expand its scope and also pull items from country-specific categories and put them onto a subpage of that country. Let me know if you think these things would be possible and what the process may be for implementation. Thanks in advance, JamesA >talk 10:26, 13 November 2012 (UTC) Hello Misza, Hello James. So excited to discover the Wikinews Importer bot! Is it possible to use it to bring headlines into other MediaWikis? I have creating a semantic mediawiki and this would be so very useful. It is awesome. I'd just import the World and UK headlines into the side of the front page. Jenny Gristock (talk) 11:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC) OddityGreetings. Your FAQ doesn't seem to answer this one... MiszaBot III recently archived my talk page for the first time. All looks good apart from two articles dated 2008 and 2009 which were left behind. Their time stamps are OK except that there is a full stop (period) after the closing bracket of "(UTC)". Is that enough to throw it? -Arb. (talk) 11:54, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Fixing bad comment formatting when archivngProperly nested talk page comments (using ":" and "::" etc) should not have white space between them, as it causes each comment to start a new definition list, which is an accessibility barrier. When User:MiszaBot archives a talk page, please could it trim such white space, as in this example edit? There should be no visible change to the comments.

I set-up automatic archiving a while ago for entries over 14 days old at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list, but Miszabot does not appear to be doing it at this time. Is it necessary to configure it under the heading "{{User:MiszaBotII/config" or "{{User:MiszaBot2/config" in the Wikicode, rather than "{{User:MiszaBot/config"? I noticed that Miszabot 2 is used for archiving on Wikipedia project namespace. Please respond at your convenience, and thank you. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:13, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Portal:Current events/Wikinews/TodaySomeone has pointed out at Portal talk:Current events#Wikinews stories that the Wikinews is stale - and indeed Portal:Current events/Wikinews/Today hasn't been updated since December 9. Any ideas why the bot is not updating this one? -- John of Reading (talk) 11:53, 19 December 2012 (UTC) amended 07:34, 20 December 2012 (UTC) Bug for the Wikinews BotHello, there's a bug in this page, can you see : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portail:Monde_%C3%A9questre/Actualit%C3%A9/Wikinews. Thanks. Sorry for my english, I'm french --Tsaag Valren (talk) 16:32, 27 December 2012 (UTC) Schedule?I notice that a bot archived some "old" talk threads from the S. Fred Singer article. Some of these were less than a month old, that seems awfully fast to remove them from discussion. Is there a way to set the schedule to a slower pace that keeps discussions on the talk page a little longer? Michael-Zero (talk) 14:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
MiszaBot Feature Request - other automated sectionsA feature request would be for MiszaBot to do something with other automated sections such as The Signpost or other bot generated newsletters. A couple of thoughts would be to: (1) delete them; (2) leave them without archiving; (3) do something else. Thanks Tiggerjay (talk) 04:46, 31 December 2012 (UTC) Archived RfCHi, you archived a RfC in this edit. Could you restore that RfC/section (including the 3rd level section)? Thanks.Curb Chain (talk) 19:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
