User talk:DPL bot
Wording is off in some cases
[edit source]I noticed that the wording of the bot message for disambiguation notifications can be inaccurate. It states that "you added a link pointing to X", even in cases where the article was simply reverted to an older version that contained the link. In that case, while it was my edit, it wasn't really "me" adding it, and insinuating that can be patronizing and make the bot seem faulty. I would suggest changing to the more passive wording of "a link was added pointing to X", which seems to be all that the bot can actually detect, as it doesn't have the capability to compare to past history and say things like "an older link was restored that is now incorrect". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:30, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction notice regarding a disambiguation to an internal link to "Amazon" in my recent uploaded expansion of the page devoted to stage and film actress "Anne Cornwall". In reviewing my references for my expansion, I see only one link to Amazon, one in reference or footnote #18 as "Amazon". Does this relate to the error cited? I do specify in that reference the link to the company itself and not just generally and incorrectly as simply "Amazon. Please clarify. Thanks again. Strudjum (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
Spacing bug in user-talk notice
[edit source]See for example [1] in the recent bot run that says "the disambiguation page was Conformationadded". There should be a space between the page-name and the word "added" so that it gives "the disambiguation page was Conformation added" DMacks (talk) 08:04, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- Still happening. It should be "the disambiguation page Tramway was added".

Buzin.....
[edit source]In my opinion Buzin is totally irrelevant in the Croatia Airlines page.... Settignano (talk) 09:59, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
- I am confused. If you think it's irrelevant, why did you add the link to the article? Also, why do you think the bot has anything to do with this? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:07, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
- Do you really think that mentioning Buzin together with Zagreb is important? How many readers care of?
- What is bot? board of trade? Settignano (talk) 14:50, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Requested change
[edit source]To have it only give warnings of disambigs to those with >200 edit, not 100. I've known editors with about 150 edits who get scared at the first template, but not those with over 200. In solidarityWikipedian12512 (Talking is fine | contribs) 18:17, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
