API Redirects
Had a problem in segment 8 with Wikimedia Labs. The site was issuing a redirect to Wikitech and messing up the API request in the process, resulting in a return value that was causing User:Bumble Bee to throw an exception. I've deactivated Wikimedia Labs since Wikitech already existed. I've also made a note that User:Bumble Bee should not follow redirects. I'll add some code so that the bot issues a warning if it is given a redirect, and skips the site. Thingles (talk) 15:10, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Audit Bee activated
User:Audit Bee was activated this morning and is auditing 10 websites at the beginning of each hour. We'll see how this works, deal with any bugs, and depending on how it goes may increase the rate of audit. Thingles (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Early runs look fine, audit bee seems to be doing a good job. I'm increasing the audits to 10 sites every 30 minutes. Thingles (talk) 19:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Things seem to be going okay and I'm not super patient so I've updated it to run every 15 minutes. That seems like a fine state to work through the thousands of sites in the backlog. Bumble Bee instances don't get overly backed up and it staggers sites on different intervals for updating. Thingles (talk) 02:38, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Some sites activated by audit bee wrongly
I just fixed a bug in audit bee diff that was causing it to activate sites that it failed to audit. This is now resolved. Expect some errors to show up in Bot log for sites that were activated. You can tell that this was the case because audit bee activated and validated them, but did not set them as audited. Thingles (talk) 17:12, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
