:::Thanks! I've got a fairly extensive sandbox that mirrors the DYK pages. However, I can't test the article and file tagging parts in a sandbox; can the bot either 1) give out normal credits to the proper articles and file, or 2) edit a few pages (like [[Talk:Test]] and [[:File:Example.jpg]]?

::::Hmm, I forgot about that bit. I say the bot can do 50 edits outside of it's own user-space. If you feel that the bot is not well tested after that, feel free to go over 50, it's more of a guideline then a limit anyways. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tim1357|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

::::::This is an unrelated comment, but your bot image is way too standard. Get something better :) ''<I>[[User:NativeForeigner|NativeForeigner]]</I>'' ^{[[User talk:NativeForeigner|Talk]]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/NativeForeigner|Contribs]]} 02:12, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

{{BotTrialComplete}} I've completed the trial for everything except file tagging. See the bot's [[Special:Contributions/DYKUpdateBot|contribs]] for the trial edits. At first the bot was thinking it had edited when it really hadn't, so I added code to check if an edit had processed. (This problem was worse because the bot account wasn't autoconfirmed, so the API didn't like the high edit speeds.) Everything else went as planned. The bot distributed credits for two of the runs. I thought about the file tagging task, and it doesn't fit with everything else; tagging a c-uploaded image is pointless since it will be deleted anyways. So instead I've added code for the bot to delete {{tl|c-uploaded}} images coming off of DYK if: 1) the file is on Commons with the same filename, 2) it's tagged with {{tlf|c-uploaded}}, and 3) there were no revisions on the file before it was uploaded. I'm not sure how to go about testing the image deletion without actually deleting some images, which would of course require the admin bit.

:Seems pretty good. If nobody else opposes this, I'll approve it in '''3''' days. That way we have some time for people to comment. [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]) 23:09, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

::Cool. I'll keep the bot running in my sandbox in case other bugs pop up. [[User:Shubinator|Shubinator]] ([[User talk:Shubinator|talk]]) 02:04, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

:::{{BotApproved}} Looks like nobody has raised any concerns. Ill try to track down a [[WP:Bureaucrat|Bureaucrat]] to get your bot a sysop and bot flag. [[User:Tim1357|Tim1357]] ([[User talk:Tim1357|talk]]) 23:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
