Discussion: history and variation
Line 72:
I recommend this bot goes to RFA, I say this as the programmer of the original redirect cleanup bot. (check the rename logs for my old username). As far as operation, the idea that east said above is a worthwhile one. If you are doing checks every 10 minutes, then check to see if the template has recently been edited (in last 10 minutes), and if it has, bring the template up for human review somewhere. Have it say something in #wikipedia-en or the like, or post somewhere where people don't mind watching. The only real way out of this is to monitor on IRC. —— '''[[user:nixeagle|<font color="navy">nix</font>]][[User talk:Nixeagle|<font color="red">eagle]]'''</font> 03:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:The proposed policy is to not go to RfA per the adminbots RFC. [[User:Bjweeks|BJ]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Bjweeks|Talk]]</sup></small> 03:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Ok, sorry about the lateness of my reply but I've been having a few computer problems. A few points have been raised that I would like to answer:
# RFA - at this point in time I have no plans to run this bot through an rfa
# Images - KnightLago has made some vaild points so unless image vandalsim picks up the bot will not protect images
# Templates - I think Nixeagle has made a good sugestion about checking when the template was last edited and will work on implmenting it. Gimmetrow also made a nice suggestion about varing the running time but unfortunately the bot runs on a crontab which is hard to randomise --[[User_talk:Chris G|<b><font style="color:Red;">Chris</font></b>]] 08:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
