Anyhow, this is not a general expectation to bot owners. I think we should
generally re-think our communication, and have a proper noticeboard or
newsletter with the essence of talks and updates.

Agree.
I cannot reproduce this:

I don't know the difference but it should be tested from a script rather
than command line.
I never see such messages, although I tried to define some myself.>

Well, it's my fault. I wasn't prepared for a locked page as the bot works
on these pages for users' wish and they have no reason to prevent bot of
updating the page and I met this new case for the first time. I will be
more careful (but the error was really not easy to understand).
Cheers and happy new year
