Bot not exclusion compliant[edit]

@Hawkeye7: FACBot posted this, despite the fact that the page contains {{nobots}}. Just letting you know FYI, as the BRFA says that it should be exclusion compliant.

 Fixed The bot does honour {{nobots}} but there was a loophole. I have corrected this, and it should not recur. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Featured list tag added to section instead of top[edit]

Hey @Hawkeye7, just wanted to report something I came across at Green Bay Packers draft history. This list was promoted on March 24, 2024, and FACBot added the featured list template to a section of the article and not to the top of it (diff here). Hey man im josh (talk) 12:48, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I will investigate. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the Bot has instructions to put the featured list template after the hatnotes, and there is a For hatnote at that point. Will need some more logic. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:57, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About possible delays at FAC[edit]

Hey Hawkeye7, the bot does not seem to have processed any FACs since May 24, even though multiple nominations have been promoted and archived. This one was archived manually a few days ago, but the others are still pending. Is this normal behavior, or does the bot need a drop of motor oil? (@FAC coordinators: Courtesy ping.)

Hmmm. Looks like some changes on the grid. I have corrected the problem, and the FACBot is processing FACs again. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Appreciate it! TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About a janky talk page change[edit]

@Hawkeye7: Hello again! In this edit, the bot mistakenly changed the |class= parameter of an unrelated template in a user's comment along with the banner shell class, which you may want to look into. Thanks! TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing unfinished candidacy from talk page[edit]

Is this intentional? I'm a bit confused as to what's going on with that edit. Hog Farm Talk 01:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a nomination was created but never posted on the candidates page. After a few days the bot removes them. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:31, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the case though - mine has been at the main FAC page since June 3. Hog Farm Talk 18:47, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extra space with FLC tag[edit]

Hi @Hawkeye7, just wanted to report that when List of accolades received by Joker (2019 film) was promoted and FACBot placed the featured list template, it also resulted in an extraneous space being added to the top of the article (see diff here). This also happened at the accolade lists for The Boy and the Heron, Interstellar and Hacksaw Ridge.

It could be an issue because {{Italic title}} is present. The space seems to get added with every promotion, but I haven't seen it show up in the actual text of any other type of featured list. Sgubaldo (talk) 13:37, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
