Discussion

And what if it's nominated for deletion not under A7? Will your bot use proper template? MaxSem 20:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is currently written to use the generic nn-warn template as suggested on the bot request page. Although I could easily have it load each article and find which tag it is using and place the corresponding notification template on the user's talk page. --Android Mouse 20:45, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
