929:.The other issue you speak of happened in week 2, I think, where it was bot operator stupidness. There was a lot of refactoring happening and this issue slipped through, and was manually fixed. Again there's so many moving parts to this task, so obviously it's hard for anyone to keep track of, which is why we want it automated! :)
769:
A major issue with my bot in general was discovered while testing the TAFIDaily task. That is, if I fetch the page properties in a certain way using the mediawiki-gateway gem, it escapes everything, when doing it another way does not. When I save to the page, the bot would always unescape everything.
1075:
So here the bot did everything it was supposed to (correct me if I'm wrong!), with exception of the bug in #4 which I've only now become aware of. I can simulate this on testwiki and ensure it is fixed (it just needs to go off the first embedded mb-bot comment and not all of them). Finally, as noted
518:
Note the new #5 and #6 subtasks I just added. They're coded and ready to try out. I figure if we're doing a 4-week trial I should squeeze in all of the weekly tasks into a single BRFA. I'm also going to add a on-wiki config page where you could turn off any given subtask. We just missed the mark for

All in all, I'm not entirely pleased with the trial, but am confident things are finally right. The only worry is as of yet, the TAFIWeekly task has not been ran by a cronjob, rather manually invoked. Next week (21 December) I hope to do this final test. The week following (28 December) I will be

I did not update the mediawiki-gateway gem to point to the newest version on GitHub, which had the code for mass messaging. Prior to this it was using the copy of the gem on my local machine. Problem fixed, and I re-ran that mass message task without any issues, and also this time a timestamp was

above, this did not run via a cronjob on WMF Labs. That's the last remaining piece as far as I can tell. So clearly an extension to the trial is needed, but a mere two weeks at most. We can skip the last week of 2015 and allow it to be manually done, if you want, since I won't be around.
1153:
Hoping to allow a one/two week extension to prove this bot does the job (see week 4 above, and the minor fixes that went with it). If an extension is not approved by Sunday 00:00 GMT, we will need to do all of the above manually. Please let me know so I can notify the TAFI team. Thanks!
460:
This is all done in under 300 lines of code (a quarter of which is just handling API errors =P). I've tested as much as I can on testwiki, but obviously the real testing will have to be done in production. For the trial I will run each subtask individually, fully-monitored.
450:
671:
First and foremost, both MediaWiki and the labs server consider Monday to be the first day of the week. I did some tests and could have sworn it was Sunday. The task was quickly aborted once I realized this, and attempted again a day
