Stress and bad news
I'm going to be incredibly busy during the month of May, and as such will have limited time for 'pedia-related matters. The circumstances are, sadly, not very pleasant, and I'll be under quite a bit of stress durning the next few weeks. Thanks in advance for your concern, and may all talk page stalkers be merry, Theopolisme (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- Best of luck getting through whatever it is that needs getting through. -Pete (talk) 20:10, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- Seconded. Hopefully you can resolve whatever problem you are going through. You have my sympathies, and good luck. Thekillerpenguin (talk) 05:16, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
User:Technical 13/Templates/SS
Hey, I see you modified User:Technical 13/Templates/SS in my userspace. I'm happy to know that other people are using it as well. I'm thinking about adding the default "Support" in a normal font size to the front of it as is used in most discussions, do you like the idea? If not, I can certainly add it as a parameter. I was even thinking of making it random by default (Approve - Support - Yes) and so that you could specify which (or use another) with a parameter like |status=
. The coding for this might look like:
{{#switch:{{lc:{{{status|random}}}}}|n|no|off=|a|approve='''Approve'''|s|support='''Support'''|y|yes='''Yes'''|random='''{{#switch:{{Rand|3}}|0=Approve|1=Support|#default=Yes}}'''|#default='''{{{status}}}'''}}
Look good? Technical 13 (talk) 12:19, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- @Technical 13: Go for it! By all means, be bold. Theopolisme (talk) 21:32, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Wanted a BOT.
Hi, Theo
I got impressed by ur Bot's works and by its name "Theo's Little Bot". Now im interested to run a Bot, Can i ?
If you wish, you are permited by me to design my Bot. Please do it for me or tell me the procedure to run a Bot.
If you will make my Bot, give it the name as yours i.e Himanis' Little Bot.
You can contact me in my talk page or in Facebook (if you want).
Thanks Himanis Das talk 07:42, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Himanis! I'd be happy to help make that a reality. However, in order to create a bot, you need to first know what you'd like it to do--is there a specific repetitive task that you want the bot to accomplish automatically? Theopolisme (talk) 10:49, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Can't find work
Hi, before 5-6 days you have advised me to find a work that my Bot will do. Now i am confused what to do. Can you assign some work for me in other words can you help me find a work to be done by my Bot ?? Himanis Das talk 02:08, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- You can take a look at WP:BOTREQ, but I'd like to re-emphasize that operating a bot takes significant technical prowess. I'm not able to build the bot for you; if you're unskilled in that area, might I suggest looking into the other sides of Misplaced Pages? There's much more you can do on here. :) Theopolisme (talk) 02:12, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
WP:USRD/A/S
Hi! If you get the chance, could you take a look at whatever caused the bot to blank the table? Thanks! --Rschen7754 22:25, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- @Rschen7754: The entire Toolserver went down in phases over the past few days, effectively confusing the bot in the process. The long-term goal is to migrate the bot to Wikimedia Labs (as soon as labs enables database replication), where it shouldn't have these problems. Sorry for any inconvenience until then, and thanks for bearing with me! Theopolisme (talk) 23:24, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you may need to remove "ref names" as well as the links themselves for multiple citations, otherwise another bot will try and "rescue" the link - see this. GiantSnowman 08:29, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Even though it wasn't your idea to do this, it is your bot that is doing the task, so I thought I'd let you know that I've opened a new thread at AN/I (here), as I feel it is wrong to remove citations simply because they are dead. Mentoz86 (talk) 09:18, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Doing... refname fix now. Theopolisme (talk) 11:34, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Done I've implemented the "remove ref names" as well fix. Obviously, though, I won't run the bot again until the ANI thread is sorted out. Theopolisme (talk) 21:04, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
