Hi all,
I'd like to plead for advice on testing Recitation-bot to demonstrate we
have resolved a bug that resulted in a ban for splitting image pages into
two separate incomplete pages last month.
The log of attempts to test the fix is in this bug
<https://github.com/wpoa/recitation-bot/issues/69>.
Here are the key points / open questions:
- Each wiki I have successfully tried to test on, including the
production wikis,
test.wikipedia.org, and testwiki.wiki, seems to
redirect the bot to a page with information about permissions / blocks,
something I had never seen prior to the block.
- What is the appropriate place to test? Seems to be
www.thetestwiki.org
- Could we appeal the block on the strength of the apparent correctness
of the edit to fix the bug, at least temporarily so as to be able to
demonstrate the fix on a wiki we were running successfully on in the recent
past? Who would be best to approach with such a request?
Thanks any and all for any advice you can offer.
Anthony
