Since earlier today, StewardBot has been unable to report steward actions. Upon further investigation, the problem lies with the RC reporting, see example: Action taken (from meta log): 20:39 . . Snowolf (talk | contribs | block) changed status for global account "User:Snowolf on rails@global": Set locked; Unset (none) (test) Report as from the IRC channel: [1339:31] rc-pmtpa [[Special:Log/globalauth]] setstatus * Snowolf *
So this report is about the change of format in the RC feed?
Hmm look at the format, it's missing stuff rather than being changed. It's missing the target user, the change in status... it's weird.
The reporting format for logging actions is supposed to be frozen until the entire stream is deprecated and replaced with something more modern. It is not supposed to be changed. I can't confirm this, but if this is true, this needs change needs to be rolled back ASAP as this affects countervandalism efforts significants (as in, the tools are unable to interpret the events because either they are malformed, incomplete, absent or incompatibly changed).

Confirming that there's a bug. [05:04:21 PM] <@rc-pmtpa> [[Special:Log/globalauth]] setstatus * Snowolf * The log should include what account the "setstatus" affected, and what the status was set to. I'm not sure if this is a bug in core itself or in CentralAuth. Normal logs like block and protect are showing up fine.
