Discussion
- I realise this is not a totally specific request but the process for authorising a bot take a long time and the tool is needed to make many medium sized lists of edits. I do not want to be every week creating a new request for a different reqphoto category. It will however be restricted to just categories under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs, most of which I have been maintaining for the past few years. Any substantial moves will be discussed in the appropriate WIkiProject pages.--Traveler100 (talk) 09:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- You didn't specify if this is an automatic unsupervised, automatic supervised or a manual bot. Is this exclusion compliant (it would be under AWB)? You don't need a different BRFA for each category, but you need to be specific about the rules the bot uses then. How do you determine which sub-categories the pages need to go into? Who asks/makes these requests? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
