Seem good, however we do have a lot of wikiproject tagging bots. I don't see any harm though. ~ Wikihermit 22:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but none for

Wikipedia:CATHOLIC. --Boricuaeddie 22:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply

I'm not sure that that's a good reason to ever deny a bot! The more the merrier as long as they don't conflict. Cbrown1023 talk 23:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, but I can't deny bots anyways! :-). ~ Wikihermit 23:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know! But I was saying it mostly for the record! :-P :) Cbrown1023 talk 23:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does the bot support WikiprojectBannerShells?

Um, what? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the term. --Boricuaeddie 00:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the answer is "no". :-) ~ Wikihermit 00:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ya think? :-) --Boricuaeddie 00:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, but Boricuaeddie, Beta means

Template:WikiProjectBannerShell. Meaning, "will the bot look for that template and if it exists, either skip the article or add the WikiProject Banner accordingly?" I do not believe that is possible with AWB, so you will need to set AWB to skip. Cbrown1023 talk 00:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply

I stated in the function summary that I will make AWB skip articles that already contain the template. I think that won't be a problem. --Boricuaeddie 00:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"That template" is the BannerShell template, the WikiProject banner. Cbrown1023 talk 00:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. What does Betta mean with "support". I'll only be adding one template, so I don't think I'll use it. --Boricuaeddie 00:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• sigh* Just make sure that you tell AWB to skip the talk page if it contains {{WikiProjectBannerShell (or its variants/redirects). Cbrown1023 talk 00:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Sorry for my stupidity :-) --Boricuaeddie 00:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're not stupid, I was sighing at myself for not explaining well enough. Cbrown1023 talk 00:50, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As long as it ignores pages that already have the template or that already has a banner shell, then Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to try using

Um, I have a problem. I can only get AWB to skip articles with one template. Because of this, it's possible it'll add {{

PuertoRicoproj}} even when the talk page already has {{PuertoRicoproj|importance= |class= }}, or vice-versa. Also, I tried to use the plugin, but all I get is "Plugin manager ready". I think it's better if I just withdraw this... --Boricuaeddie 15:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply

I might be able to do it with HermesBot, give me a second to test it out. ~ Wikihermit 16:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry; I fixed it :-) --Boricuaeddie 16:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

50 edits made. No problems were found. --Boricuaeddie 17:18, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good.  Approved. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
