RFC posting script

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Function Summary: This bot makes filing RFCs easier.

Edit period(s): Whenever someone uses the script.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: To make filing requests for comments easier, users can fill out this form, filling in all the necessary details. In order for someone to use it, they must be registered with a confirmed e-mail address. Once all the details are filled out and the form is submitted, the request is held in a database and a confirmation e-mail is sent to the user via Special:EmailUser. This is to help prevent abuse of the script. Once the user confirms the RFC by clicking on the URL in their email, the bot will proceed to post the RFC on the wiki.

Discussion

I am aware that the bot has already seen some action prior to the filing of this BRFA. I apologize for that. Upon the approval of this bot, the functions will become much more "advertised". —harej // change the rules 19:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as this is going to be advertised widely, I see no reason not to approve a trial and see how things go.

Approved for trial (10 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Richard ⁰⁶¹² 20:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
