Russbot wait[edit]

Russbot currently waits 7+1 days for new category redirects. I wonder if this could be shortened to 2+1 days for categories with 5 or few entries. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to think of how this would be implemented, and it seems difficult. The number of entries in a category can change from day to day; what happens if it has 100 entries on day 1 but only 3 entries on day 2? Or vice versa? And to the extent there is a problem, it is easily solved by any editor who wants to do so moving the entries to the new category manually (which only takes a few clicks using Cat-a-lot).

I suppose it would have to check on day 3, but day 1 could be sufficient as I'd assume it decreases.
The problem with cat-a-lot is that it's somewhat broken when it cames to subcategories. Enhancing999 (talk) 13:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russbot crash[edit]

The bot didn't go through it's daily run: see Special:Contributions/RussBot, stopping at 09:12 Enhancing999 (talk) 12:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that happens from time to time (relatively frequently). It's usually due to database server errors, not script errors, in which case I just wait for the next daily run. --R'n'B (talk) 12:54, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. It worked fine over the last couple of weeks. Enhancing999 (talk) 13:10, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
