Note: This page is protected to avoid abuse, if you wish to make a change please suggest it on the talk page. Since this page is editable only by administrators it is important to be sure that your changes reflect consensus before making them. The method of making bold edits here in the hopes that they will be accepted or reverted will not work here due to the protection.

The purpose of this page is to allow control over the parameters that HBC NameWatcherBot uses. Only lines formatted like " ; : " will be read. Only parameters that the bot is expecting will be read. When a change is made to this page the bot will read it immediately.
