 Bot is deleting wikiproject banners 

see  where the bot deleted a wikiproject banner with the summary "Notifying of move discussion"  65.92.180.137  
This is interesting. The bot did just fine when it first posted the notice at 03:00, 6 March 2013.
Seven days later, after leaving the notice undisturbed for a week, at 00:14, 13 March 2013 it removed the project template and updated its timestamp.
That's not the only talk page banner it disturbed with that update. Also:
Talk:Malling, Moselle – at 00:15, 13 March 2013
Talk:Monastyrysche Raion – at 00:16, 13 March 2013
This seems to be some one-off glitch—I've not seen this bug before. It may be a side-effect of some other issue, and could be hard to track down.   
Whatever the bug is, it is causing a wholesale overwrite of the entire talk page, from what I can see, it deletes the entire talk page, and replaces it with the new notice.  65.92.180.137  
Excellent observation! It could be something more like this type of problem. I'll put it on my list to check the code to see if any edit checks can be made to prevent it.   

The Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions update of 00:16, 13 March 2013 doesn't really give any clues, unless it's related to the "Time could not be ascertained" bug. I should fix that one. –   
 I think I finally realize the cause of this (an API function's failure to retrieve the page content when asked), and will get right to implementing the solution, which is to not update the page at all rather than break it.   
, hopefully.   20:43, 13 December
