== EMR BOT ==
Is the bot still alive? I've been updating some of the talk pages. Please respond. --[[User:Gmoney|Gmoney]] 09:04, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
== User boxes? ==


== Mall Status Map ==
Hey, how do you make user boxes? --[[User:Suburb 22 Zombies|Suburb 22 Zombies]] 03:37, 17 April 2011 (BST)


The only real problem with your updated version is it's a bit 'busy' on the eyes, it not as easy to read at a casual glance as the old one, although it does contain much needed extra information.
== Template:Mall Logo ==


I did have the idea of combining the suburb feature from the [[Omnimap]] into the Mall Status Map, allowing people to see the current status of the suburbs using the colour code and being able to see the names of the suburbs with a roll over. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 14:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Does it need to be case sensitive? Lots of people tend to make the first letter upper-case. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 00:30, 26 April 2011 (BST)
:I made a change so that whichever case is used during the update, it is converted to lower case for the purpose of {{tl|Mall Logo}}. See [[User:DangerReport/Bale Mall]] and [[Bale Mall]]. The former has upper case Ruined, yet the Bal Mall logo is the correct logo (ruined). ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>00:57, 26 April 2011</sub>
::Gotcha. So it converts all of the text to be lowercase. Nice. :D --{{User:Akule/sig}} 01:06, 26 April 2011 (BST)
:::Yeah it converts the result of {{tl|DRstatus}} to lower case. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>01:16, 26 April 2011</sub>


:Yeah, it works better without the names and images. I was hesitant to remove them since it was more of an established page. The rollover provides you with the mall name anyway. We'll see whether other people think it could do with de-cluttering too. I'm inclined to agree with you on that point.
Oh god. This makes things ''worse''! {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:40, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:The wiki update, I take it? --{{User:Akule/sig}} 22:47, 2 June 2011 (BST)
::Accepting uppercase input. Basically breaks a dozen other templates if it's used. But it's hardly world-endingly bad. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:50, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:::It makes for some unusual problems, as people can make variant group names just by altering case. Such as [[The dead]] or [[the dead]] or [[tHe Dead]] or [[the DEad]] (the actual group is [[The Dead]] or [[the Dead]]). --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:01, 2 June 2011 (BST)


:As far as the Omnimap bit goes, the whole reason for the suburb system there (as opposed to using the danger map underneath, like the StatusMap system) was because it needed to show [[SIM]] data too. It was just a clever workaround, and probably not needed on things like the [[MSM]] or [[NT Status Map]] etc, unless you mean something else? {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 15:05, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Nonono. I mean accepting "Ruined" v "ruined" in the template. Long story short, probably all the templates in [[:Category:DangerReport Formatting Templates|this category]] would also need this fix which honestly is more effort for maintenance than users just getting it right.


::I've just had a go at this, but my coding fails me. I'm thinking a map similar to the old MSM, using [[:Image:Mall-status-map.png]] and the old status system, but with the addition of a SIM suburb border overlay. This will allow the MSM to display the relative danger levels as well (though I think the colouring will need to be tweaked to make it easier to read). This also means that rolling over a suburb on the MSM will give you its name and a clickable link to its page and thereby reduce the visual clutter on the current MSM. Am making sense? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 18:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I didn't mean anything regarding the wiki update. Names have always been case sensitive as I recall, so that's nothing new. (The automatic redirect regardless of the first letters case was also there before) {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:06, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:I pointed the problem out to people, so Vapor formatted the base template to [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Template%3ABuildingStatus&action=historysubmit&diff=1881400&oldid=1527038 automatically lowercase the status]. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:21, 2 June 2011 (BST)
::Ok let me step back.


(Deindented)Uh, not really.
::Yes, I realise that the BuildingStatus & Mall Logo templates now accept uppercase input. I am saying this is a ''bad'' thing.
*When you say a 'SIM suburb border overlay' do you mean:
**The Omnimap's suburb border's, the transparent gif's?
**The SIM-grid map's suburb grid overlay?
**Actual SIM data?
**Something else?


I get what you mean by the rollover, the same thing as you currently get for the Omnimap. Am you wishing to use this to replace the current underlay that looks a bit like the suburb danger map?
::It breaks all those other templates which use the status variable, but didn't get changed. Plus since the uppercase input now "works" on the report template, people use it without realising it causes other breakages.


Resulting in, from the bottom-up:
::I'm saying it's less effort for user to just correct it if they do it wrong (which they'd notice with a broken image link) then to apply the lowercase logic on all templates that access the status in some way.
*Old map image you linked on the bottom
*Layer of suburb status borders, like the current Omnimap. (If you mean that)
*Invisible layer of clickable suburb links
*Old status system (Mall name and status image) on top


Have I got that right? {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 19:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::Take a gander at [[Special:Wantedtemplates]], you'll notice several templates with an uppercase status being requested, and they don't exist so there'll be derped results somewhere. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:30, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:This level of complexity is why I can't code maps. You seem to have got what I'm after in your 'resulting in' section. However looking at that image I've linked it's got the malls on the image (I thought it was just a grid), and the coloured blocks representing the current status, like the NT Status Map, seem to make an easier instant reference.
:::Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize it caused other breakages. Can we go through the rest of the templates to fix them to make them as derp proof as possible? I only ask because I imagine that the people who will not care about the casing will make more work for those of us who do care in the long run. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:40, 2 June 2011 (BST)
::::Well... if it really matters in the long run... then yeah. I'll get around to it. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:52, 2 June 2011 (BST)
:::::Whenever you can is fine. I had just originally brought it up as various users (mainly new ones) kept breaking the various status templates when [[The Dead 2.0]] swept over the land. I didn't want to end up changing them, as I don't have a strong understanding of wikicode. Thank you in advance. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:59, 2 June 2011 (BST)


:Following your list, what I think I'm trying to say is:
== EMRs ==
:*Grid image (I find an underlying grid to be especially helpful for working out routes without having to use another map)
:*Layer of suburb borders (like the current Omnimap, so it auto updates)
:*Invisible layer of clickable links to suburb pages (again like the current Omnimap)
:*New status system (changed my mind due to the ease of the colour references)


:Is all that even possible? Viable? And will it actually make it better do you think? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 20:14, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
So you're back. I thought you'd be gone forever.


::Possible, very. The various parts listed are all work separately on their own, so you can just mix and match as you want, making some adjustments for size and so on.
I must admit, I'm quite ashamed of it myself. You ''did'' gave me the EMR Bot before leaving, but I never got the chance to use it, test it, or even learn it for that matter. I've been thinking ''"I must do it, for The Rooster is gone and no one else can"'' for months, but never bothered to run it even once, until the page clogged up and I had to move some old EMRs elsewhere.


::Making it better is another argument. I would suggest first the mall name and status image get ditched (from the old system) and just leave the auto updating colours on what's left (basically, it would be exactly like the [[NT Status Map]] and [[MPM Status Map]], just for malls). I personally don't think the suburb links are that distracting. I can see the suburb's in the back being confusing though, it is a lot of colours. Do you find it a problem on the other two maps I just mentioned? {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 20:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
You can find those EMRs, archived from October 29th to November 30th, at my [[User:Kittithaj/Sandbox#EMRP:_Reports_to_Process|Sandbox]] page. Thank you for returning and working with them. And sorry I couldn't/didn't do something with them. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 02:13, 4 June 2011 (BST)


:::On the other maps (NT and MPM maps) the individual location names aren't needed and the suburb names are, however I feel the opposite is the case for malls, it is the mall name (and therefore links to individual mall pages) that is more important. Saying that, what I found limiting for the old system was the fact I had to click the mall name and then go to the suburb page if I needed a general update. I'd like to see whether it'd be viable to have both mall and suburb links, but it's the suburb name links that ''seem'' to clutter the map compared to the old one, but I can see how the inverse would be true given your work on the other status maps.
:Ah no worries, if nothing else you'd kept an immaculate log that would've done the job just fine anyway. I checked your backup and I did process all of those reports so they're safe to nuke. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)


:::I'll have another go at a mock-up, my last attempt ended in disaster, but I'll see if I can code up something near what I'm trying to convey. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 21:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I posted a question on the [[Talk:EMRP:_Reports_to_Process]] talk page but I'm hoping that you could answer the question since you're controlling the bot. Should all of the "Reports to Process Later" entries be moved to the "Reports to Process" heading? And should the lone report from Feb 28 then be wiped?--[[User:Uroguy|Uroguy]]<sup>[[Zookeepers|TMZ]]</sup> 03:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)


::::Again my attempt ended [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User:Iscariot/WIP10&oldid=1378855 in disaster].If the image will go to the background, so the links work, and it all lines up of course, that's pretty much what I'm getting at. I'm thinking a change in the background image colour to a dark grey grid will make the border colouring show up better. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 21:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:I answered the talk page. I'll be messing around with the headers a bit until I catch up. No need to worry, just stick everything under "Later" for now. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)


:::::You're basically there actually. Heh. You're gonna struggle lining it all up without some size changes, because both maps operate on very different scales, but no major worries on that. You're right about the background, the Omnimap relies quiet a bit on the fact SIM data is mostly black. If you set up the main table as a gray (not black, or the gridlines won't show) background, and just shift the div containing the image above the code for the suburb links, you're mostly set. Items are pasted on one at a time, so something at the top will get buried by what is pasted on later. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 21:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:: Thanks I appreciate the explanation. --[[User:Uroguy|Uroguy]]<sup>[[Zookeepers|TMZ]]</sup> 07:23, 4 June 2011 (BST)
:::::I have had a small brainwave, either that or some sort of seizure from too much time editing the Imbalance page today. Anyway, it might be possible to make the little block representing the building clickable, and take you to that building! You already get a nice report on mouseover which tells you the building's name, so would clickability solve the problem with linking to the mall? (Could always add a note on top of page explaining how to navigate the map for such a purpose) Regardless, I might just try that at some point anyway, it would be handy. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::I'm having a hell of a time trying to resize those layers, time to call the Gnome methinks. Your idea about making the blocks clickable could be workable, the mall have would be displayed on mouseover and might work visually with the page not being over saturated. Depending on how it works it might be an idea to add the other large buildings, cathedrals, mansions and forts to the map for an overall view of Malton. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 22:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Resizing wise, you'll probably want to rip open a word processor for some find/replace of size code. I'd suggest scaling up the suburb links and suburb borders to the size of the metatac grid. I'll have a look at it if it's still troubling you. As far as a view of Malton goes, I had a similar idea swishing around in my head, for 'Important' buildings in Malton. Basically, Malls, NTs and Forts. Other stuff isn't that important really. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::::I'm trying both Rev and Gnome to see if they can fix the resizing problem, if you've got time, feel free to have a go, after that I'll see about tweaking the aesthetics to make it legible and then we'll see how it compares to the other designs. The reason I suggested the large buildings is because they tend to be indicative of the general health of a suburb, more so that NTs which can generally be suicide striked by a few survivors to get up and running again. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 22:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::No reason we can't have both! Big buildings and important buildings on two maps. The [[BIC]] would match up with the big ones perfectly. Anyway, I've determined that the suburb links line up just fine (set the table to a colourful background, you can see it, I used that trick to check it lined up on the [[SIMgrid]] and Omnimap when I set it up way back when. The suburb borders just need a new template, that formats said images to the correct width (79px) and a small edit to the table for the inclusion of a 1px cellspacing. You're literally done after that. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 23:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


== BIC Status Updater Bot ==
==Unused Image==
[[:File:1001 Days in Urban Dead.gif]] which you uploaded is currently [[Special:Unusedfiles|unused]] and is subject to deletion if it is older than two weeks. If you wish to ensure that it remains on this wiki then you will need to ensure that it is included in at least one page on this wiki..--[[User:Thegeneralbot|A helpful bot]] 16:45, 14 June 2011 (BST)
:Ironically, including the image is stupid since the wiki thumbnailer breaks horribly. *shrug* {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 12:23, 16 June 2011 (BST)


Hey Rooster, just wondering how progress is coming on the design for this bot. It would certainly do wonders for the wiki, and save me from changing old BIC statuses to unknown manually. You've made some great bots already, and I'm really looking forward to this one as well. --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 16:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
== How Appropriate ==


:It has not progressed since my return, most of my bot related time has been to fixing error after error I've suddenly found with the EMR bot. I think a moron possessed me while I was typing up that code or something. Hopefully the BIC bot will be on the cards soon. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:09, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
You're like a zombie, you know that? You disappear, then for strange reasons you rise and shamble and get active again. I would call it curious were it not for your involvement over the years in a browser-based zombie apocalypse game... ...


::Right on.  If there's anything I can do to help in the meantime let me know.  Otherwise I'll just keep manually updating as many of the BIC reports in the Rose District as I can. --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 22:15, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
It's good to see you again, Rooster. ;) --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 20:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


==Testing Dulton==
:Thanks :) Although, thinking about it, I didn't play the game much... {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 21:18, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
Any chance you could run up a similar section for vinetown? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
:Still working on fixing the errors. Those awful newlines have come back to haunt me again. Why are they appearing! Argh! {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 20:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
:Ok, errors are fixed. If you want to mock up one for Vinetown, go right ahead. The code should be pretty obvious. I'm still in the process of wondering what could yet be gotten out of the system. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 22:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Right, I'm off. Thanks for the message and best of luck! --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 22:31, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that because the [[User:ExternalMilitaryReportBot|EMRBot]] hasn't been run in over two years, I'm shutting down [[EMRP: Reports to Process]]. New users still sometimes post EMRs there expecting them to be processed, so I've posted a sign at the top letting them know it's not active.

{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 01:30, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
:That was the general idea, though I'm not entirely sure where to start. I'd like to get something set up so that it gets maximum attention, preferably with a nice block on the main page. Though that's beyond even my generally bold editing of things, and also my user rights of course.
:I'd be happy to see a project created, but it would need a little time with a few users helping out to set everything up properly, and then a big intrusion onto the main page and general wikispace to try and get the community ball rolling. I wouldn't want to waste my own effort, and especially other user's, setting it up only to have nothing happen. [[Project CP]] was a good idea, but CP being the generally deserted area that it was, and the lack of any mission to get people involved again means that the community portal continues to be a generally deserted area. I'm aiming for all or nothing here, and nothing isn't an option. As a reasonably active but almost all behind-the-scenes user, I'm not that well known or particularly influential. Yet here I am, with a backwater sandpit page, pondering nothing less than one of the biggest shake ups in the wiki in recent times. You can see my predicament and general pessimism at this working by now, I hope. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 00:39, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
::Wiki news could help with visibility, but it can only be up there so long. Something large and noticeable would be great, but I don't know where that would fit into the main page. Speaking of the main page, it could probably do with a redesign. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I'm kinda thinking of a new entity entirely. A nice, permanent, fixture on the main page. Highlighting all the interesting stuff happening. Like I note on my list, maybe an article of the week and/or article in need of help of the week. Wiki news would be a section of it, and the 'Community Portal' (or something else if renamed) would be the general one-stop shop for finding out which wiki-maintenance projects are going on, what ideas people are proposing for new pages, and for getting help in getting pages updated more. It would also be the place to suggest big changes on the wiki, because I envisage it as being a place where users will check a lot. An entry in the wikinews if the project starts would suffice in trying to attract a few users. The first thing we could attack would be a redesign of the main page, to include whatever 'Community Portal' block we'd like, and whatever other changes people might be after. (I'm guessing you have some to suggest, since you mentioned it) Once done, the main page gets updated, and the general invasion of the wiki starts. I'm really am talking about a big attempt to get a proper community spot set up, no half measures. I am probably being somewhat insane. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 01:08, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
::::I have a few ideas for a new main page and how to set things up. I'm thinking Urban Dead themed with the colours and style and all, something different from the common Wikipedia-like look to main pages. I'll be gone for the weekend however, so don't expect anything yet. :O --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 02:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

EMR BOT

Is the bot still alive? I've been updating some of the talk pages. Please respond. --Gmoney 09:04, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

User boxes?

Hey, how do you make user boxes? --Suburb 22 Zombies 03:37, 17 April 2011 (BST)

Does it need to be case sensitive? Lots of people tend to make the first letter upper-case. --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 00:30, 26 April 2011 (BST)

I made a change so that whichever case is used during the update, it is converted to lower case for the purpose of {{Mall Logo}}. See User:DangerReport/Bale Mall and Bale Mall. The former has upper case Ruined, yet the Bal Mall logo is the correct logo (ruined). ~Vsig.png 00:57, 26 April 2011
Gotcha. So it converts all of the text to be lowercase. Nice. :D --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 01:06, 26 April 2011 (BST)
Yeah it converts the result of {{DRstatus}} to lower case. ~Vsig.png 01:16, 26 April 2011

Oh god. This makes things worse! -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 22:40, 2 June 2011 (BST)

The wiki update, I take it? --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 22:47, 2 June 2011 (BST)
Accepting uppercase input. Basically breaks a dozen other templates if it's used. But it's hardly world-endingly bad. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 22:50, 2 June 2011 (BST)
It makes for some unusual problems, as people can make variant group names just by altering case. Such as The dead or the dead or tHe Dead or the DEad (the actual group is The Dead or the Dead). --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 23:01, 2 June 2011 (BST)

I pointed the problem out to people, so Vapor formatted the base template to automatically lowercase the status. --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 23:21, 2 June 2011 (BST)
Ok let me step back.
Yes, I realise that the BuildingStatus & Mall Logo templates now accept uppercase input. I am saying this is a bad thing.
It breaks all those other templates which use the status variable, but didn't get changed. Plus since the uppercase input now "works" on the report template, people use it without realising it causes other breakages.
I'm saying it's less effort for user to just correct it if they do it wrong (which they'd notice with a broken image link) then to apply the lowercase logic on all templates that access the status in some way.
Take a gander at Special:Wantedtemplates, you'll notice several templates with an uppercase status being requested, and they don't exist so there'll be derped results somewhere. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 23:30, 2 June 2011 (BST)
Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize it caused other breakages. Can we go through the rest of the templates to fix them to make them as derp proof as possible? I only ask because I imagine that the people who will not care about the casing will make more work for those of us who do care in the long run. --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 23:40, 2 June 2011 (BST)
Well... if it really matters in the long run... then yeah. I'll get around to it. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 23:52, 2 June 2011 (BST)
Whenever you can is fine. I had just originally brought it up as various users (mainly new ones) kept breaking the various status templates when The Dead 2.0 swept over the land. I didn't want to end up changing them, as I don't have a strong understanding of wikicode. Thank you in advance. --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 23:59, 2 June 2011 (BST)

EMRs

So you're back. I thought you'd be gone forever.

I must admit, I'm quite ashamed of it myself. You did gave me the EMR Bot before leaving, but I never got the chance to use it, test it, or even learn it for that matter. I've been thinking "I must do it, for The Rooster is gone and no one else can" for months, but never bothered to run it even once, until the page clogged up and I had to move some old EMRs elsewhere.

You can find those EMRs, archived from October 29th to November 30th, at my Sandbox page. Thank you for returning and working with them. And sorry I couldn't/didn't do something with them. -- Kittithaj 02:13, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Ah no worries, if nothing else you'd kept an immaculate log that would've done the job just fine anyway. I checked your backup and I did process all of those reports so they're safe to nuke. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I posted a question on the Talk:EMRP:_Reports_to_Process talk page but I'm hoping that you could answer the question since you're controlling the bot. Should all of the "Reports to Process Later" entries be moved to the "Reports to Process" heading? And should the lone report from Feb 28 then be wiped?--UroguyTMZ 03:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)

I answered the talk page. I'll be messing around with the headers a bit until I catch up. No need to worry, just stick everything under "Later" for now. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 07:20, 4 June 2011 (BST)
Thanks I appreciate the explanation. --UroguyTMZ 07:23, 4 June 2011 (BST)

Unused Image

File:1001 Days in Urban Dead.gif which you uploaded is currently unused and is subject to deletion if it is older than two weeks. If you wish to ensure that it remains on this wiki then you will need to ensure that it is included in at least one page on this wiki..--A helpful bot 16:45, 14 June 2011 (BST)

Ironically, including the image is stupid since the wiki thumbnailer breaks horribly. *shrug* -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 12:23, 16 June 2011 (BST)

How Appropriate

You're like a zombie, you know that? You disappear, then for strange reasons you rise and shamble and get active again. I would call it curious were it not for your involvement over the years in a browser-based zombie apocalypse game... ...

It's good to see you again, Rooster. ;) --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 20:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :) Although, thinking about it, I didn't play the game much... -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 21:18, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

EMR RtP shutdown

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that because the EMRBot hasn't been run in over two years, I'm shutting down EMRP: Reports to Process. New users still sometimes post EMRs there expecting them to be processed, so I've posted a sign at the top letting them know it's not active. If the Bot returns at some point, feel free to remove the sign and restart RtP. Thanks! Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 13:59, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Thankyou for this.
