Notice All the StatusBots have been taken down. They make too many edits. There are manual ways to keep track of your status such as:

Question

Is there a way that we could change the length of time per user? For me, an hour without an edit is more likely because I do a lot of reading and I have been on Meta more recently. Maybe it could work like MiszaBot and have a template like this:

{{User:StatusBot/config
|online       = [what the ParserFunction name is for online status]
|offline      = [what the ParserFunction name is for offline status]
|on-edits     = [number of edits to set online status]
|off-time     = [how long without an edit to set offline status]
<!-- Other statuses -->
|other-name   = [name of other status]
|other-time   = [how long without an edit to set other status]
}}

So I would type on my status page (User:Greeves/Status): {{User:Greeves/StatusTemplate|in}}{{User:StatusBot/config|online = in |offline = out |on-edits = 1 |off-time = 60 min |other-name = around |other-time = 30 min}}

If this would be possible, I would be grateful! Greeves (talk contribs) 15:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, maybe. For now i'll just try to figure out how to make it edit. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 04:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, that was just an idea for the future after you got the bot up and running. Greeves (talk contribs) 16:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problem

I don't know if there is a problem with the bot, but I just made two edits roughly 6 minutes ago, and my status has yet to update. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 22:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be wroking for me either Nathanww 16:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is probably a default, like 5 edits in the past half hour, or something. Anything below that will not change your status, since if you're not making a lot of edits, you probably won't be around at your computer constantly for a period of time. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 20:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please see the userpage - it is down and blocked due to database lag. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Another sort of problem

I just recently added myself to the catagory and added the template to my userpage and the template is telling me that I haven't been on since 22/8/2007 15:38:50, which is not true. I have made edits since then and I don't what's wrong.  Bella Swan(Talk!) 18:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having a similar problem. I just added myself to the category yesterday, and StatusBot seems to think that I've been offline since earlier today, when in fact I've been on the whole time except for a few hours. GlassCobra 03:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Again it's down, and with really bad timing. I'll place a notice up. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 09:52, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please place an if into your status template similair to what I put in User:StatusBot/Template, to show a message when a downtime message is active. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 10:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How Long to Create a Status Page?

I've been waiting for hours now for StatusBot to create my status page, yet it still has not done so. I've added my userpage to the Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot and I even tested the status template in my user sandbox but it still isn't updating my status yet. How long does it usually take for StatusBot to create my status page (the userpage mentioned only 5 minutes)?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having exactly the same problem.. just says my status is unknown. → jacĸrм ( talk | sign ) 06:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I assume StatusBot is currently down, as it has been some time since it has made an edit... --Ratiocinate (tc) 15:03, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
