Hey, sorry about that. Looks like it was an unfortunate edit conflict that mediawiki did not inform it of. Thankfully, such conflicts appear to be very rare, but I'll keep an eye out.

In
this edit the HBC AIV helperbot7 removed an AIV report, and also removed another, unrelated one with it. It looks to me like the same kind of error as mentioned above. If this keeps happening perhaps something needs to be done about it.

Hi, sorry about that. As said above, it does occasionally happen with all the helperbots unfortunately, but thankfully it is rare (given how many tens of thousands of edits the helperbots make, an edit conflict every three and a bit weeks is probably not too bad).

Incidentally though, the code to all the helperbots can be found
here so feel free to suggest any improvements. Since they are making so many edits on a small number of very busy pages though, unfortunately an occasional edit conflict is probably unavoidable. Just undoing the bot's edit should fix things though.

Think it would make sense to remove the line about removing the backlog from {{adminbacklog}} in its current implementation at
AIV? Given that the whole process is automated, it seems extraneous.
