How do I delist or delete a previous archive page?

I switched Talk:Herat Province from dated to numbered archives and moved the corresponding archive page, but the bot keeps re-listing the date-based oneTalk:Herat_Province/Archives/2025/June, which is just a redirect (from page move). How do I get it to stop doing that? I checked if the redirect would qualify for speedy deletion but it doesn't look like it. Thanks! — W.andrea (talk) 16:52, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

ClueBot not issuing warning for a revert

{{atop}} Hi, ClueBot (successfully) detected and reverted a vandalism edit here, but didn't issue the level 4 warning to the TA talk page (here). Any idea as to why? Thanks, ScalarFactor (talk) 04:20, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

@ScalarFactor: ClueBot NG used to issue level 4 warnings until March 2019, when this behaviour was changed (see GitHub commit) to fix an issue where ClueBot NG wasn't reporting users to AIV at all (see User talk:ClueBot Commons/Archives/2019/March#ClueBot NG issue). Presently, ClueBot NG will issue warnings up to level 3, and then report to AIV. In your case, the bot did report the account to AIV. —⁠k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 04:46, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
I see - thanks for the info. ScalarFactor (talk) 04:50, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
User:Rich Smith, User:DamianZaremba your bot, ClueBot NG has done an amazing job reverting vandalism, way better than I am at it. The bot is super-fast at reverting vandalism and made it to where people can read articles with the correct information and not the vandalism in a matter of seconds and faster than a lot of other anti-vandals. Wikipedia is a way better place because of ClueBot NG. Thanks for reverting vandalism and for your contributions!

That's very kind, but I would extend your thanks to NaomiAmethyst as one of the original creators :) - RichT|C|E-Mail 16:04, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Let's not forget Crispy1989, who wrote the artificial neural network that the bot uses, which was the thing that distinguished ClueBot NG from all previous anti-vandalism bots. —⁠k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 22:10, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Huge thanks to Crispy1989 for being one of the creators of ClueBot NG and NaomiAmethyst for making the bot's artificial neural network. Dylan Hackworth1 (talk) 02:01, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
I think you have it the other way around? —⁠k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 03:44, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Closure request archiving

It looks like ClueBot III had been archiving Wikipedia:Closure requests daily, but it hasn't done so in a few days. Is that normal, or did we break something? Thanks! -- Beland (talk) 11:06, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

I'm not too sure why it hasn't archived in the last 5 days as I can't see a standout reason for it not to (it's definitely working elsewhere), but I did just make this adjustment to a change done earlier today to fix the archivenow behaviour. Aidan9382 (talk) 11:26, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
This got corrected back to how it was working before btw, per this. CNC (talk) 11:55, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. This looks to be working again - RichT|C|E-Mail 08:08, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
