@Rich Smith: @Cobi: Bot may need restarted :)--5 albert square (talk) 03:57, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

I've emailed Rich Smith about this. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 17:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Both Bots are currently down, according to the status above. Class455 (talk) 18:08, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

ClueBot 3 has archived in the last 15 minutes so it's working. Thanks @K6ka: was just about to do that ☺️ 5 albert square (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

CB3 failing to create archive index pages

I know there have been identified issues lately with CB3 archiving user talk pages so I hope I'm not identifying an issue which has already been discussed. I noticed today that CB3 is failing to create or update its detailed index pages when it archives my user talk. My index was created automatically back in January, complete with three detailed index pages from my existing archives at the time. Then, in April, it added a link to its detailed index 4 ([[1]]) but it did not create the index, User:ClueBot III/Detailed Indices/User talk:Ivanvector/Archive 4 is a redlink. It's done the same more recently for a fifth archive, so the index is broken. I'm not sure how to fix this, I could create the detailed indices manually but that's tedious, I'd rather see the problem fixed. Is it a bug or do I have something set up incorrectly?

Also, this series of edits of CB3 creating an index and then reverting itself over and over again doesn't look hopeful. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:05, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

ClueBot down

@Rich Smith, Cobi, and K6ka: Both ClueBot NG and ClueBot III need to be restarted once again, thanks. 2601:1C0:10D:8A9B:A97B:F7C8:3CD4:183E (talk) 18:31, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I can't restart the bot, as I don't have access, so it's either up to Rich, Cobi, or DamianZaremba. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:34, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

And I've e-mailed Rich. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:37, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I pinged you since you emailed Rich last time... 73.96.113.10 (talk) 18:56, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, ClueBot III appears to be working now, but ClueBot NG is still down... 73.96.113.4 (talk) 21:00, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Also, K6ka, you seem to be patrolling this page a lot, so maybe you could ask for access to the bot. Just some food for thought... :-) 73.96.113.4 (talk) 21:01, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, it looks like it's working just fine now... 73.96.115.34 (talk) 19:51, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

ClueBot NG is okay, but ClueBot III last archived a page almost 3 1/2 hours ago - as per above. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 03:03, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

@Some Gadget Geek: CBIII is working right now. The bot only runs at certain times of the day, and does not run continuously like CBNG does. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:52, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

@K6ka: Oh, really? Then can you explain why CBIII's userpage infobox says "Edit period(s) - Continually"? Maybe it should be changed to list the times when CBIII actually does archive pages? <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 03:35, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Wouldn't have thought that would be possible given the vast number of pages it archives. Plus the fact that when pages are archived may be changed by editors.--5 albert square (talk) 15:07, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
