ChenzwBot change
Hello Chenzw, ChenzwBot just gave final warning after final warning without leveling up here. The final warning I gave was for removal of content, blanking. Can this be fixed so that the Bot can directly report after this warning as other final warnings? Thanks-BRP ever 07:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- Seems to be a bug (the bot should have indeed reported to VIP) - let me take a closer look and get back to you again. Chenzw Talk 07:51, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- It was an inconsistent use of the HTML comment in the warning that caused the confusion (no space before the closing comment tag). When I find the time I will slowly go through the warning templates to check for consistency, but until then, I have modified the bot's code to account for this.
