Discussion[edit]

User pages and Wikipedia namespace is not included since

Editing user pages has been denied on other wiki.
It is buggy for those pages with interwiki in sub-pages, and as I observed other namespaces shouldn't get those problem.

And Python version is 2.7.3 with Unicode test okay.Justincheng12345 (talk) (urgent news here) 12:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "Function details" section does not explain what the bot would do. Jc3s5h (talk) 14:04, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Err...I think that's okay.If you like a passage, that's The bot will run with Autonomous mode for updating interwiki links with async and cleanup option. It will not edit Talk, User and Wikipedia namespace.I just think easier the better.Justincheng12345 (talk) (urgent news here) 15:48, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your approach seems to be that only people with experience running bots should be allowed to have an opinion about whether a bot is a good idea, and thus describing bots with jargon that only a bot creator could understand is just fine. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:03, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (≈50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Make sure to have at least a few edits to each of the namespaces. Latest versions should handle Template: /doc subpages, but make sure you verify this (with a couple edits if possible). — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 08:57, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Start from now. And as I see it just skip the /doc but won't edit it.....Edits will be supervised for a few weeks...Justincheng12345 (talk) (urgent news here) 15:19, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete.,I edited 50 times but mostly in main namespace. May be a larger trial?Justincheng12345 (talk) (urgent news here) 11:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you can run it with only the needed namespace parameters if all else fails. I'm mostly interested in it handling templates correctly.

Approved for extended trial (2 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:01, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just run with ns:10 for these two days....Justincheng12345 (talk) (urgent news here) 23:37, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So is that okay? You won't see any edit of template with sub-pages since the bot will skip those......Justincheng12345 (talk) (urgent news here) 11:19, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. All details clarified, don't see problems with trial, botop appears clueful, typical interwiki bot. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:33, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
