I think User:Mathbot does something like this.

Anyway, you could also put the info on a subpage of the bot page, and transclude that page at the wikiproject. If you're only editing a bot subpage, and not doing a lot of edits (sounds like one edit every three days here), you don't really need a bot approval. If you want someone to look over the results, though, that's fine. Be aware that a lot of those templates have redirects, so you'll have to look for variations, like {{fac}} for {{FAC}}. Otherwise, I wonder about past precedent for bots with "WikiProject" in the botname. Gimmetrow 04:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll get to work on that. If it really does not need approval, then I guess this request can just be closed. — Parent5446 ^{(t n e l)} 11:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say just having something like ParentBot or Bot5446 etc. would be better—usernames such as this one seem to be more reserved for more "official" stuff (RedirectCleanupBot to take a random example).

I'm way ahead of you. Immediately after you said it did not need approval, I filed for a renaming. It is currently pending. — Parent5446 ^{(t n e l)} 15:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
