Discussion

Hi Adler. Just a note; on the English Wikipedia bots may not do any edits (including trial edits) until approval. Please make sure this bot ceases to edit until noted otherwise. A couple of points abut interwiki bots: These tasks are fairly straightforward, but there's a couple of restrictions which should be noted, please see the

bot policy for these. The one I'm worried about here is template editing. On the English Wikipedia, bots should not add interwiki links to template pages, unless they have been made to work with the {{documentation}} subpage (which standard pywikipedia has not). I noticed that this bot was editing templates ([1]), has this been stopped now? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 13:01, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply

Hi Kingpin, thank you for your kind consideration. yes, actually i become aware about the template restriction. This kind of edits will be avoided for sure. ‫‫Adler (talk) 15:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic. What modes (i.e. autonomous/force) will the bot be running in? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 15:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's always running in autonomous mode. ‫‫Adler (talk) 14:51, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So force will be off then? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:53, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

indeed. Since the bot runs automatically, it makes sense not to force it.Adler (talk) 12:07, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. No problems - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
