List limit

Do you think it would be possible to add a feature to this bot that will limit the number of articles in the lists it produces? When the bot recently ran on WP:NRHP, it added ~50K bytes of lists, mostly DYKs. The project has a plethora of these DYKs, but the list would take over the front page if we included it. We removed the DYK function from the bot for now, but it would be awesome if there was like a "list_limit = ###" parameter. The bot would show only the first ### articles and then possibly include a total number, and if it was possible, include a link to a complete list. The complete list thing is asking a little much, but a parameter to stop the bot from listing 10,000 articles would be nice. Thanks! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 00:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
