Talk pages
You shouldn't be talking on talk pages. Leave that to your master WindPower. -- Pilk (talk) 22:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Loops
WindBOT loops over the page again if you have to fix a bad edit. -- Pilk (talk) 03:17, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- What do you mean? You mean it re-applies filters if you undo them? That is the desired behavior. If the filter isn't working correctly, then the filter should be fixed; otherwise, if the filter does work correctly but shouldn't be applied on a certain page for some particular reason, then blacklist the page — Wind 18:42, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Diacrits change
Hello,
Please add a new filter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_alphabet#Comma-below_.28.C8.99_and_.C8.9B.29_versus_cedilla_.28.C5.9F_and_.C5.A3.29
There are 2 variants of ş. This one is wrong. See on wikipedia page the correct one and please do the changes.
Thanks

Achievements translating
Can you translate achievements using this bot ? If yes i will send you tf_romanian.txt so would be much easier than manual translation. -- Nightbox (t s) 10:41, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- How would it work? Just replace English achievements titles with Romanian ones? I'm pretty sure you could do that with AWB — Wind 14:17, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Rollbacks
You again. Ruining my rollbacks. I should have you decommissioned for your impertinence. – Smashman (talk) 10:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Team names in TFC
Your bot seems to think that the TFC team names are "RED", and "BLU", when they, in fact, are "Red" and "Blue". Avanti (Classic) and Dustbowl (Classic) got reverted because of this. Just wanted to make you know. Ond kaja 15:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I was fearing this would happen... I'll add a way to specify which filters are applied to Classic/Non-classic pages later, right now I will disable the team spelling filter. — Wind 15:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Peculiar behavior
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Flame_Thrower/ro&redirect=no
I'm a little confused by WindBOT's behavior - it continues to insist on making this page redirect to a page that is not only improperly titled, but also redundantly language-tagged. If the page it was linking to even existed, it would be a double redirect at that. It's kinda humorous when I think about it, really. It would be like if "Hat/fr" (which would ideally redirect to "Hats/fr") was consistently being strongarmed into redirecting to "Chapeaux/fr".
Either way, this could use some work yeah, but at the same time I'm genuinely curious as to what is causing this behavior. (: Gerk 10:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Spell Checking
Maybe this isn't the right way to go about this, but WindBot doesn't seem to like "Sascha" as much as "Sasha." According to the newest tf2 blog update, it's spelt "SasCha," with a C. So... yeah. The bot should stay out of this. --Exiggah 19:45, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- The blog has been known to make mistakes and I believe Robin confirmed as much in a recent email I saw. Sasha has been used much more often than Sascha. Moussekateer 19:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- At least someone knew what was up, thanks for the confirmation. --Exiggah 19:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Strange spacing edit
This edit looks like a bug, putting extra spacing at the beginning of one parameter line while ignoring the others. Toomai Glittershine 17:29, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- Nope, not a bug; the item backpack attributes (the little brown box at the bottom) should be indented by 2 spaces for clarity (item-description, item attributes, etc.) — Wind 17:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Incorrect capitalization
Hello, I just recently edited the Grenadier's Softcap page, and the edit I made involved the sentence "A grenadier is a soldier who specializes in handling grenades and other explosives." The bot seems to think that the word "soldier" should be capitalized, even though the sentence is referring to a soldier, instead of the Soldier. I'm not sure how to fix this, could you look into it when you get the chance? Siriusd 01:14, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Weapon Combination Names
Hey, were you the one who named the rest of the weapon combinations in the Community Strategy pages of all classes? Because if it's you, I want to thank you for continuing my work. I ran out of ideas after editing Demoman's Community Strategy page, it's good you named the rest. Also, I round up the remaining weapon combinations so now all of those combinations are named. Thanks again!

Storyline
On Storyline#The Mann Family, it (logically) filtered the names of Gravel Pit and Dustbowl, but in the sentence's context, capitalization wouldn't make much sense. However, I don't want to blacklist the page, since there are likely many other reasons the bot would need to go there. Is it possible to blacklist just that section, or to set up some other way to have it avoid that? (Btw, here is the specific edit, if it helps.) —烏Γ (kaw at me), 03:18, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Fixed — Wind 03:28, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Direct Hit
Found one instance of the problem on Flare Gun, and thought it would likely appear elsewhere: the phrase "direct hit" seems common enough that it probably shouldn't autocapitalize it. Of course, it actually referring to the weapon is probably seen far more often than just as a description, but either way... —烏Γ (kaw at me), 17:33, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Nah, is fine as it is :3 Keep adding them botignore~ — Wind 20:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Weapon Demonstration
I've noticed that on some pages, the bot has been breaking the videos by deleting the first/only parameter in the template.
I've reverted a few, but it might be better to take a look at why it's doing it. (Seems like the bot and I haven't been getting along lately...xvx) —烏Γ (kaw at me), 04:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
