Hello, thank you for your bot efforts. GeertivpBot adds the commonskat template to articles, however, it is unnecessary if the commons category is already featured in the infobox (and it is, in most of the cases). Also, commonskat should be added directly under the "Sources" or "Further information" heading, above navboxes and portal templates. Would it be possible to fix this? Thank you!

I disabled Commonscat functionality for bawiki, huwiki, plwiki, pmswiki. Sorry for the inconveniance. Thanks for informing me. Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC) Reply

Please, don't make edits on wikis you're not authorized. Reverted your bots edit here. Balyozxane (talk) 15:44, 3 January 2024 (UTC) Reply

Same with Serbian Wikipedia. Most of those are either wrong, redundant, or go against established practices on SR.WIKI. -- Ђидо (talk) 17:17, 3 January 2024 (UTC) Reply

Also in vepwiki, edits. There's no any administrator, and no way to block bots. -- Motoranger (talk) 16:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC) Reply

I disabled the GeertivpBot for kuwiki, srwiki, and vepwiki. Sorry for the inconveniance. Thanks for informing me. Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC) Reply

Hi, I reverted this edit, because the Commons category was already contained in the infobox. Please regard infoboxes. Bináris ^{tell me} 18:34, 3 January 2024 (UTC) Reply

Hello everyone!

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas about current developments in the Wikimedia Movement. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for further Wikimedia 2030 strategy process work.

At this meeting we will focus on the recent statement by the WMF Board of Trustees liaisons statement on the Movement Charter in which the liaisons stated that they will be recommending the Board of Trustees not to ratify the final draft of the Movement Charter. The community and affiliate votes on the ratification are supposed to start on Tuesday, 25 June. This meeting offers a venue to discuss the situation and formulate the "next steps".

This month, we are meeting on Sunday, June 23, and you are all invited to RSVP here .

UTC meeting times are 03:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC

Hi! I just blocked your bot, GeertivpBot, on Polish Wikipedia. Tasks to be done by the bot weren't consulted anywhere, some of them already done by other bots (like adding authority control – your bot placed the template in a non-standard place, though). Some other tasks, like adding images yielded unnatural results (we don't add images to the very end of the article and their caption should be usually more meaningful that just replicating the article title). The block is infinite but if you're willing to do mass edits on plwiki, please consult them first and get bot rights. Without them, every bot edit would need to be manually reviewed by users which is not really what we want to do (especially at large scale). Regards, Msz2001 (talk) 15:30, 2 August 2024 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for notifying me. I have changed my script. I place the {{Kontrola autorytatywna}} now before the {{SORTUJ:...}} or the first [[Kategoria:...]]. I place the image now after the first section only if there is an infobox. Otherwise the image comes at the top of the page. --Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) 09:36, 4 August 2024 (UTC) Reply

Hello. The {{kontrola autorytatywna}} task is already handled by my own bot (PBbot), you can check it out at w:pl:WP:ZdB#Zadania stałe. It was introduced following a community discussion and consensus. I'd rather you refrain from using your bot in this context, thank you for your understanding.

I have disabled authority updates for plwiki. --Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) 11:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC) Reply
