Please be sure to ping @GalStar, as this account is not regularly logged into.

@GalStar: is it possible to do a second run with this account, since there is new stuff Template:PortGraph links to (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:PortGraph). Better yet, could this be made into a continuous run? If not, could you please put the source code on GitHub so I can do it? Thanks, —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? - c) 19:08, 12 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

GraphBot ran into a panic while I was on vacation. I've fixed the panic, and it seems to be back up and running. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 14:56, 14 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Also note that the bot is on continuous run at the moment. If you'd like toolforge access, I'd be happy to grant that.

The code is available on https://github.com/arihant2math/graphbot. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 14:59, 14 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

What happened here? — Tenshi! (Talk page) 17:48, 25 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

That was a test edit to ensure the bot had permissions; it's tagged as a manual edit. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 19:18, 25 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@GalStar: Hello, twice this bot has updated the charts on Canadian federal electoral districts (namely Kanata—Carleton (federal electoral district) and Joliette—Manawan), but the colours don't match the party colours. Kanata's colours are especially wrong, as you have the three colours of the main three parties (red, blue and orange), but they're all assigned to the wrong party. Anyway, I'm not sure if there's an easy way to fix this, but I'm debating how useful the charts even are if the colours are not only wrong, but counter-intuitive. Thanks! -- Earl Andrew - talk 14:55, 30 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Earl Andrew, the chart extension does not allow for setting colors. I might submit a patch to the extension to fix this because I agree that this is annoying. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 17:33, 30 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@GalStar: Hello, I see that this bot has continued to update charts on Canadian electoral districts with incorrect colours, causing other editors to begin removing the updated charts altogether because the colours are confusing. Canadian political parties are very much associated with their respective colours, so when charts show the wrong colours, the charts lose their usefulness. I would suggest ceasing the updating of the charts until this is resolved. 19:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC) -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

That's due to the users who are marking those graphs for porting. I might disallow it if I get time this weekend. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 08:54, 22 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Does the bot work on templates, such as Template:Airport-Statistics? Experimenting in the Sandbox just now, but wanted to check with the creator too! Danners430 _{tweaks made} 10:38, 10 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Yeah that needed a lua module. This bot doesn't support dynamically generated graphs/content. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 08:55, 22 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Please note the result at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 September 6#Category:Graphs to Port. -- Beland (talk) 02:13, 27 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi @GalStar: I recently found this useful tool and started adding items to its queue but after hunting around for a while to see if the toolforge logs were visible anywhere I checked the bot's contrib page to see last edit was 16:51, 31 October 2025. Should it run in continuously, or in batched? SuperFastSpellChecker (talk) 22:13, 6 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Probably broken, I'll take a look tomorrow. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 09:20, 16 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
