Discussion

May I start the test period? In the other wikis i'm using standard interwiki.py with cosmetic_changes.py, is it possible to do the same here? Alchimista (talk) 20:19, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

No, cosmetic_changes.py may not generally be used here. For just interwiki.py, Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Remember that interwiki.py must not edit the Template namespace (it screws things up), and remember to update your pywikipedia daily. Anomie⚔ 01:29, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Just as notification, the bot was reported at AVI, but no action was taken. I have now blocked it, as it's up to 40 edits, and I can't see approval for more at this stage. I don't usually deal with BAG and bots, so hopefully I've not missed something! Unblock or let me know if I have. Thanks. GedUK  10:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
