Discussion

• Are you aware of the local restrictions for interwiki bots, outlined here? (see also the "cosmetic changes" bit immediately below) –xeno^talk 17:43, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
  • I know it, and I never do any iw changes where I can't control changes and their result. About cosmetic changes, I just don't know how to use them with iw script but it isn't my aim for now ;) --Dark Eagle (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Please stop editing from the bot account until you are in trial or approved. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:44, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

What is happening with this BRFA? You are still editing from the bot account without trial/approval. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:30, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

While bot policy says the bot should not edit without approval, standard interwiki bots whose operators confirm they are aware of and will obey the local restrictions on the same are usually speedily approved. I'd suggest just looking at the edits, confirming the operation is sound, and approving. –xeno^talk 16:32, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I just do iw updates... But I've another question: how much I have to wait for trial (about full bot flag I don't say anything) --Dark Eagle (talk) 18:09, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to make sure you are still around. Bot edits are fine, so Speedily Approved. per general interwiki bot treatment and Xeno.

(P.S. I stroke out "Any others activity spheres can be in far future." as this is interwiki task approval.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellknowz (talk • contribs) 18:18, 3 March 2011‎ (UTC)
