1832:, that would be awesome. I appreciate your technical help. About 3 or 4 years ago, a bot that used to handle these notices was deactivated when the bot operator passed away and we went about 9 months without any notices being posted until Firefly stepped up. Editors knowing that their drafts might be deleted frequently leads to them returning to work on the draft or sandbox, reducing the number of CSD G13 deletions. My only complaint is that FireflyBot only posts these 5 months' notices once so, 6 months later, we go through the whole thing again. Several editors and even an admin asked that FireflyBot posts 5 month notices regardless if it had already posted one notification in the past but, I guess, technically, it's a challenge. 166: 1778:
page and it is a notice from FireflyBot about their drafts which is nearing the time of speedy deletion, 6 months of no human edits. So, FireflyBot may be their only contact with other editors or bots on the project. And I think even our experienced editors rely on its notices to let them know they need to return to work on a draft that is going stale.
1785:
Well, the bot still isn't working and so I'm asking if any other bot experts can check on it. Typically, in the past, it's some glitch and the bot just needs to be reset (or whatever you call it) and it then posts all of the notices it didn't post when it was out-of-commission. Can anyone take a look
1781:
I've found that about every 12-18 months, something happens with FireflyBot and it stops posting these 5 month notices so I have it on my calendar to check it twice a month to make sure it is still working correctly. I checked last week and found that the bot had stopped posting notices on September
1777:
FireflyBot is responsible for sending editors who write drafts notices when the drafts haven't been edited for 5 months. It is an essential task especially for new editors who are not aware of our CSD G13. Often when I look into cases, I find that new editors only have one message on their User talk

Is there currently any bot that removes "coordinates missing" template if coordinates are present in the infobox? I am also thinking about adding functionality to import coordinates from wikidata if present. The discussion (with more details) can be found at

at this? Obviously, Firefly, the bot operator, is busy or away so if anyone would be willing to step in, I, and hundreds of draft creators, would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

If you are okay with that, I can go ahead and file a BRFA shortly. – 410: 277: 245: 551: 1511: 1507: 1503: 1499: 514: 111: 1520: 1665: 1661: 1657: 1653: 1649: 1645: 1641: 1637: 1633: 1516: 580: 353: 590: 509: 358: 1669: 555: 754:.
