ChenzwBot error
changeHello! ChenzwBot has reverted an edit that I made to the article called Help:Translate English into Simple English My edit was to add a new section, called Translation Template. (I was just suggesting that the Simple English Wikipedia might benefit from having a Translation Template, similar to the one used in the English Wikipedia) I believe that my addition was helpful and should not have been reverted. The bot says to report this here, so that's what I'm doing. (If you do think that my edit was inappropriate, I'd appreciate suggestions for how to improve it) Thanks for your help! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 01:06, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- I have added the edit to the bot's database; roughly speaking, the bot works by "learning" from known samples of vandalism and good edits. Chenzw Talk 01:16, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying and fixing it so quickly! :) JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 18:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Future changes
- There will be a new schema for XML dumps. Scripts and apps that use them will need to be updated. If they are not updated they will no longer work. [1]
- The
{{REVISIONID}}magic word will no longer work in the content namespaces. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it returns""(empty string). When you read a page it returns"-"(dash). In the future this will also affect other namespaces. The next ones are file and category namespaces. [2]

Notice ❗
changeHello Chenzw. I wanted to tell you that I had made my own custom warn templates which warns against vandalism. I believe you had made custom warn templates for your bot, ChenzwBot; but the reason why I made the custom warn templates is that it got me inspired by the warnings that your bot sends to vandals. Keep doing good! Signed in regards, CentralTime301 (📱, 📝) 01:08, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) As I have repeatedly told you, just use the templates at WP:UW. --Examknowtalk 01:10, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- For the sake of clarification, the only reason my bot has its own warning templates is because of the need to include things like: advisory on where to go to report false positives, the revision ID, and the calculated vandalism probability for troubleshooting purposes. False positives used to be a comparatively common occurrence with the older vandalism heuristics. My bot's user page also has a brief history if you are curious.

HAIIIII
changeI never made that edit to Wikipedia. I am only a 12 year old that loves technology and video games! Please get your FACTS straight BEFORE you accuse me of something that I DID NOT DO!!! It was probably somebody else on this Chromebook. This IS a school Chromebook, you know. BTW thismessage is from Jacob Elijah Orlando Harris. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.4.107.97 (talk • contribs) 14:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

ChenzwBot Error
changeMy apologies, I am still pretty new to wikipedia, but my edit on 'Talk: Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Stash" wasn't something I'd consider "non-constructive." Can you look it over and see if there was a error? Thanks! Sorry for the bother again.
- I have made some adjustments in the bot code to correct this error. Sorry for the inconvenience. Chenzw Talk 17:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Chenzwbot Error, Part 2
changeHiya again! it looks like the bot reverted another constructive post. Mind fixing it for me? Apologies for the bother, and thanks! (It was at Talk: Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Stash)
- The issues is likely that you aren't signing your posts so that could be causing it to think you are vandalizing. There is an button at the top of the edit box to add a signature to the end of your message. Or you can type -~~~~ at the end of your message. -DJSasso (talk) 14:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Problems
- The Linter extension helps you find technical errors in articles. It did not show new changes last week. This was because of an API problem. It is now working again. [5]

Special:PermaLink/6752896 (ChenzwBot mistake)
changeHello Chenzw. I wanted to inform you that ChenzwBot has recently reverted one of my edits to Wikipedia:Requests for deletion. I believe that it was a mistake, and I think it can be helpful if you can fix it. Thank you. Ahmadtalk 10:23, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
wrong revert
changeWhen you look at my contribution, you'll clearly see that reverting it was wrong! --Dutchy45 (talk) 13:41, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Please do not take this personally, the bot automatically evaluates every edit based on its existing database of good and bad edits. I have added the relevant edit to the bot's training database. Chenzw Talk 14:45, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Oh, it's not a problem :) --Dutchy45 (talk) 14:47, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
