Discussion
Can you explain in more detail what edits your bot will make under which conditions? Will it follow {{nobots}}? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 14:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- If it is required to follow nobots then i can make it follow nobots but i don't see why it should as the only edits it makes (adding / removing tags) will not really be wrong.
- It will only operate in the main name space so it will not try to tag and talk pages e.t.c
- If the page is not in a Category then the bot will add {{Uncategorized|date=*****}}
- If the page is a dead end page the bot will add {{deadend|date=*****}}
- If the page is an orphan the bot will add {{orphan|date=*****}}
- If the page needs to be wikied it will add {{Wikify|date=*****}}
- e.t.c if page is X then bot will do Y (as SQL put it)
- If there is a tag already such as {{wikify}} without a date the bot will add the date. e.g. {{Wikify|date=May 2008}}
You can see almost 100 of these edits made under my account using AWB with no bot options / flag here ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 15:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

- All trial edits done, I whtched them go through and i don't think anything went wrong. If this bot gets approved, which i hope it does, i would ask for it to be allowed the bot flag as it makes high amounts of edits. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 19:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Also i would like to add general fixing to this bot as this could do good as it trawls the input pages. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 19:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
