[edit] Template:Db-g12

This edit: [1] broke the user notification line, see: Template talk:Db-meta#Wrong parameter on user message.  Andreas  (T) 23:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Melon‑Bot (STOP!) 10:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bug

This bot changed {{painting-stub}} into the non-existent {{Infobox Painting-stub}}: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] etc. DAVID ŠENEK 11:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting this. I'm fixing the errors now. Melon‑Bot (STOP!) 17:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bug adding to Talk:Bernard Pearson

Hi, check the edit history for above -- the bot changed "WPBiography" to "WikiProjectBannersiography", and also inserted the DiscWorld template into the middle of an existing template.--NapoliRoma (talk) 21:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:James Blunt

Not sure what category it's going by, but I couldn't see any mention of opera in the article. [7] dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 11:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

John Lennon, Bono and Bing Crosby, too. Can you close this bot while parameters (or whatever) are checked? LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Martin Tielli was inappropriately tagged as well. I removed the banner. Strobilus (talk) 14:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
(On behalf of the Opera Project) sorry about this problem. Some non-opera cats (e.g American baritones) have been accessed and all the articles in them have been bannered. Is there an admin who can switch off the bot? --Kleinzach 14:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Stopped, no need to panic (yet, I'm not sure how many badly-tagged pages there are :S). And there was me on the verge of congratulating WP:OPERA for not having any random subcats in their parent category. It seems that Category:Singers by range is a subcategory of Category:Opera, and within subcategories of that are a large number of artists who would not be described as opera singers. I missed it on my pre-run check through the subcategory list (here, if anyone's interested) because the subcats themsevles look like they would be of interest; it's just the contents that aren't. The usual problem with banner tagging from categories, it seems. I will compile a more selective list of subcategories later today and restart the bot on those. Thanks for flagging up these mistakes, everyone. Happy‑melon 14:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
It looks as though there are quite a lot of them. Is it possible to run the bot in reverse (so to speak)? All singer cats that are not specifically marked opera/operatic should be excluded. Thanks. --Kleinzach 15:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC) P.S. GT and I also need to check any other cats before the next run. --Kleinzach 15:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You are deleting all foreignchar templates - while the TFD has not yet finished. Agathoclea (talk) 22:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
