* I realise this is not a totally specific request but the process for authorising a bot take a long time and the tool is needed to make many medium sized lists of edits. I do not want to be every week creating a new request for a different reqphoto category. It will however be restricted to just categories under [[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs]], most of which I have been maintaining for the past few years. Any substantial moves will be discussed in the appropriate WIkiProject pages.--[[User:Traveler100|Traveler100]] ([[User talk:Traveler100|talk]]) 09:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
*You didn't specify if this is an automatic unsupervised, automatic supervised or a manual bot. Is this exclusion compliant (it would be under AWB)? You don't need a different BRFA for each category, but you need to be specific about the rules the bot uses then. How do you determine which sub-categories the pages need to go into? Who asks/makes these requests? — <small> [[user:H3llkn0wz|<
** Discussion will be with specific WikiProject teams.--[[User:Traveler100|Traveler100]] ([[User talk:Traveler100|talk]]) 21:50, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
** For [[:Category:WikiProject Cities articles needing photographs]] the category are obviously the state in which the settlement is, for [[:Category:Plant articles needing photos]] [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#photo requests|discussion]] has been started.--[[User:Traveler100|Traveler100]] ([[User talk:Traveler100|talk]]) 16:20, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

{{BotTrialComplete}} started on Sicily in [[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Italy]] and Saskatchewan and Wisconsin in [[:Category:WikiProject Cities articles needing photographs]]
:One minor question: are the WikiProject Cities dudes ok with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Endeavour,_Saskatchewan&diff=prev&oldid=472409412 disabling/removing the needs-photo template argument] (thus removing it from the general category [[:Category:WikiProject Cities articles needing photographs]])? Are people monitoring that category as a backlog indicator? --[[User:Slakr|<span style="color:teal;font-weight:bold;">slakr</span>]]<small><sup>\ [[User talk:Slakr|talk]] /</sup></small> 03:07, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
:: It was discussed, although little feedback, no objections. [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cities#Purpose of needs-photo ?]] --[[User:Traveler100|Traveler100]] ([[User talk:Traveler100|talk]]) 05:28, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
{{BotApproved}} – Discussion and trial both look good, and removing the template parameter seems common-sensical as otherwise you'd be leaving the talk page in a general category. The task is clearly useful and the only edits that were undone later were ones where an image had been placed in the article since a request had been made but the request had not yet been removed from the talk page; that's not the fault of the bot. I'd recommend continuing to link to relevant discussions in the Notification section as you have been so editors can contribute. (And maybe note that the bot's exclusion-compliant since you're using AWB.)
