[11:03:07] <ireas>	 hi there. do you know who’s responsible for the translation notification bot?
[11:03:40] <Nemo_bis>	 ireas: everyone and nobody; why?
[11:03:54] <Nemo_bis>	 It has a user page which explains, btw https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Translation_Notification_Bot
[11:04:15] <ireas>	 Nemo_bis: there is a request to block it in the German Wikipedia as it does not comply with the local bot policies 
[11:04:21] <Nemo_bis>	 blablabla
[11:04:39] <Nemo_bis>	 Nobody was yet able to point me to a policy which forbids users from editing their own talk pages
[11:06:49] <ireas>	 well, as far as I see, the request is technically justified, so it would be great if there is someone who would modify the bot to comply with the policies
[11:07:13] <Nemo_bis>	 ireas: which policy?
[11:07:35] <Nemo_bis>	 (I'd like the exact passage of the policy in question.)
[11:08:26] <ireas>	 e. g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots
[11:08:31] <Nemo_bis>	 Which part?=
[11:08:34] <zuzak>	 does it count as a bot if it is literally part of mediawiki
[11:09:03] <Nemo_bis>	 The bot edits my talk page only under my order. It's me editing my talk page with a different tool.
[11:09:13] <Nemo_bis>	 Is there a policy against editing my own talk page?
[11:09:29] <ireas>	 no, but there is a policy about the tool
[11:09:47] <Nemo_bis>	 I doubt it
[11:10:01] <Nemo_bis>	 Die Bots in der Wikipedia sind Computerprogramme oder Skripte, die ihren Betreibern stupide, langweilige und häufig auftretende Aufgaben abnehmen
[11:10:22] <Nemo_bis>	 Does editing my talk page fall under that category?
[11:10:33] <sitic>	 the main complains from users are that it doesn't sign it's edits, doesn't provide a link to unsubscribe and ignores {{nobot}}
[11:11:03] <zuzak>	 "stupid" seems an odd choice of phrase, surely stupid tasks shouldn't undertaken at all :)
[11:11:23] <ireas>	 Nemo_bis: as I am not the person raising the complaints, I think it would be the best to discuss this with those people
[11:11:34] <ireas>	 zuzak: German "stupide" != English "stupid"
[11:11:39] <Nemo_bis>	 I know, I'm not complaining with you
[11:12:11] * zuzak consults wiktionary
[11:12:20] <ireas>	 Nemo_bis: another complaint was that there is no contact person
[11:13:09] <ireas>	 zuzak: it’s rather like "monotonous"
[11:13:13] <ireas>	 at least in this context
[11:13:37] <Nemo_bis>	 ireas: there is a contact, AFAICS
[11:13:47] <Nemo_bis>	 Unless de.wiki overrode the userpage with something useless
[11:14:20] <ireas>	 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Translation_Notification_Bot
[11:15:18] <ireas>	 I have to go to work now. Anyway, the request to block the bot is here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalismusmeldung#Benutzer:Translation_Notification_Bot maybe someone wants to comment on it
[11:20:02] <Nemo_bis>	 Hmpff edit conflict
[16:40:42] <Romaine>	 Wikidata is down
[16:40:49] <L235>	 Hmm, anyone else getting error 593 service unavailable on enwiki?
[16:41:05] <L235>	 503*
[16:41:16] <Romaine>	 and up again
[16:41:29] <L235>	 Yeah
