Permission error when trying to run IAbot on a single page[edit]
Used the bot some weeks ago and it worked fine. Now the error "Permission error The action you are trying to perform requires the analyzepage permission." appears. Seems like a bug. Gor1995 (talk) 00:15, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Gor1995, make sure you have English Wikipedia selected from the wiki drop-down on the top right. Also, were you trying to use a different feature from one you regularly use? Trying to rule things out before filing a bug report. Harej (talk) 22:44, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Why did you remove the "Dead link" template in this edit? Debresser (talk) 18:55, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your report Debresser. This appears to be a bug, so we have filed a bug report. Harej (talk) 21:09, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi. The bot claims that domains https://www.rsd.cz (https://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C5%98editelstv%C3%AD_silnic_a_d%C3%A1lnic_%C4%8CR&diff=prev&oldid=23401506, etc.) and https://www.dpmb.cz (https://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doprava_v_Brn%C4%9B&curid=182332&diff=23401461&oldid=23400090, etc.) are dead, but they are alive. --Harold (talk) 10:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Harold, it appears those two domains are geo-restricted (our link checker is U.S.-based). I have marked those two domain names as permalive so the bot will treat them as working sites. Harej (talk) 21:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm here to report the bot. The bot has reported that the article this edit? There is a dead link, but it's actually not dead and has not included any links, and the bot is still creating duplicate messages. It's happened many times. I think I will turn off the bot first to prevent the article from having any more problems and you can view it in the edit history. Please help me. Thank you. PhetanNTN (talk) 03:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- PhetanNTN, this appears to be another instance of this bug happening. I appreciate you finding this instance as it helps us know how often this is happening. If you can find more examples that would help as well. Harej (talk) 21:24, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- PhetanNTN, also, you can add
{{bots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}on the top of that article to have the bot avoid that particular page. Harej (talk) 21:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@Cyberpower678, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cheesecake&diff=prev&oldid=1187533463 in which the bot removes an archive link but claims to be "rescuing" it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @WhatamIdoing: Hi, this is because for a while (apparently from October 2021 to June 2023 according to Wikipedia) none of the archive URLs worked so, it was marked as dead in task T309254. I've just created task T352450 to fix it. Thanks for the report! --Nintendofan885T&Cs apply 16:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- If a link needs to be removed, the bot should have a different edit summary, such as "Removed broken archive link". WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:58, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

I saw your bot on a list of bots that still use wikitech:Grid. Grid is getting sunset soon, and everyone is supposed to upgrade to wikitech:Help:Toolforge/Jobs framework. Code updates will probably be required to keep your bot working. Please see w:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Toolforge Grid Engine shutdown for more details. Hope this helps. Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:00, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Novem Linguae, I can confirm that no part of InternetArchiveBot currently runs on the Grid Engine though it did previously. Harej (talk) 00:35, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
