Hello, Legoktm,

Because of the current replag problem with the system, today's Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories only included empty categories of categories at CFD that will keep appearing on the list until the CFD discussions are closed. Is there any way you could "run" HaleBot's empty category query some time before 01:02 UTC tomorrow once this replag problem clears up? Otherwise, we'll have double the amount of categories listed tomorrow...it would be easier for me to tag two smaller groups of categories than one gigantic list tomorrow night. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:09, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Last time I looked, the replag was at 37 hours so I guess this is not a quick fix situation. Oh, well. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:51, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeah :( I can probably run the query manually against a production database over the weekend and post the results as a stop gap. Legoktm (talk) 01:41, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

The tech folks at WMF were predicting things would return to normal around June 1st but it looks like they got the problem resolved this afternoon (at least where I'm at). So, we should have a big report tonight! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:06, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Enjoy the new results :) Legoktm (talk) 07:42, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
