Line 50: :I have some thoughts on each of those points: :I agree that giving ''all'' editors the ability to override a protection reinstatement simply by slapping a {{tl\|bots}} tag into an article is a '''bad''' idea. :This bot doesn't need to have any additional mechanism to prevent reinstatement of protection (which I see as unlikely to be needed). '''The mechanism is already there.''' An administrator who wants to prevent reinstatement would merely perform two actions: first ~~pre~~re-protect for a short duration (or just unprotect), and then apply the second temporary protection for a longer duration. When the temporary protection expires, the original protection would also be expired, and the bot does nothing. :*A source code review would be good. I thought that was standard procedure, especially for admin bots, but I am unfamiliar with how bots get approved. :~[[User:Anachronist\|Anachronist]] <small>([[User talk:Anachronist\|talk]])</small> 17:48, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
