Discussion

Need it really run continuously? What sort of pattern are you thinking of? Also, unless I'm mistaken, you've specified a maxlag parameter, but not an edit rate — they're quite distinct. — Werdna talk 04:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

It won't run non-stop. I'll throw it up on crontab. Yes, I have maxlag. It will edit as fast as it needs to unless the maxlag is over 5s. Pywikipedia also has a built-in throttle somewhere, so it won't be make 100 edits a minute ;) Mønobi 20:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. - Redirect.py isn't too complicated, no harm in duplicate bots. Soxred93 | talk bot 02:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
