Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Bot Policy: "Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds." Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 02:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

One problem I'm seeing with the bot
Thanks for cleaning up these changes. I hadn't even noticed! One thing to note is that I had a header on my user page that got changed unintentionally by the bot. Specifically, I had the following:

And BOTH instances of the word "Travel" got replaced by the bot:

(see at right)

Not a big deal, but I thought you'd want to know. Thanks again. --Robb0995 02:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

In a sandbox?
This bot edited my sandbox! How bizarre. Is nothing safe? ;-) --Euchiasmus 19:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, with few exceptions, no, nothing is safe. The bot loads a list of all the pages transcluding the User UBM UBX to template and scans them for userboxes to replace. The only pages I purposefully exclude from that list are those in the TfD and MfD archives, because changing those could cause trouble. It needs to edit user subpages because of the number of people who keep their userboxes on a subpage and transclude that onto their userpage. If for some reason you want one of your pages, such as your sandbox, DyceBot-free in the future I'd recommend you check out the bots template. It will allow you to exclude my bot and any other exclusion compliant bot from any page of yours that you wish.-- Dycedarg  &#x0436;  04:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Question
What does UBX even stand for? (My page was one of those that had templates replaced.) Powerfulmind 00:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Nevermind. I figured it out. Powerfulmind 00:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Notification
Hey, I just noticed your bot's edits on my page, but I would like to request that you make your bot notify the users on their talk pages that their user pages have been edited, I saw userboxes I didn't recognise and saw other peoples edits to my page, and thought they were vandalism before properly reading. I would also like to be informed when bots are editing my userspace. I know I don't own my userpage, however it is common courtesy to inform me. Note: I don't mean anything bad against you or the bot, it's incredibly usefull :)

Thanks! Matt - TheFearow 02:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Query
I need help renaming about 200 articles. Doing this by hand would take me all day.

Can your bot rename articles, or be adapted to do so?

If so, please contact me.

Thank you.

 * Sure, my bot can do this. What are the details of the renaming you need done? (By the way, in the future you could use the bot request page which would save you the trouble of leaving notes on dozens of bot talk pages individually.)-- Dycedarg  &#x0436;  22:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! The Transhumanist 23:10, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The pages are currently in two locations. They are subpages of WikiProject Topical outlines/Draft and WikiProject Lists of basic topics/Draft.


 * I need all the pages that are called "Draft/List of basic foo topics" renamed to WikiProject Topical outlines/Draft/Topical outline of foo, from both the locations mentioned above. When you are done, they should all be under the draft page of the WikiProject Topical outlines.


 * Note that in each pagename "List of basic " needs to be changed to "Topical outline of ", and " topics" needs to be removed from each title.


 * For example: "List of basic Bangladesh topics" should be renamed to "Topical outline of Bangladesh".


 * Please let me know if you need any further information or clarification.

Just remembered...

Some of the names will need "the" in them. Countries that are republics, groups of islands, groups of states, etc. Such as "the Solomon Islands", "the United States", etc. The Transhumanist 00:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Adelaide United season 2005-06
I have nominated Adelaide United season 2005-06, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Adelaide United season 2005-06. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. timsdad  (talk) 11:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Idea for the dead-end pages notes
I know the idea of just removing pages from Dead-end pages when they grow links has been considered and (rightfully, imo) rejected in the past, but would it be a good idea if the bot added a comment like "(5 links)" to pages that had links?

That way, someone who just wanted a fast sweep could go in and check those pages that had links and remove them quickly. --Alvestrand (talk) 21:39, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Dumb question
Sorry to be naive but does marking my request stale on Graphic_Lab/Map_workshop mean that the request has been rejected?

Thanks.

--Mcorazao (talk) 23:54, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It just means there has been no activity in that thread for a period of time. And requests are not "rejected", though sometimes there will simply be no takers. You can always ask a couple resident editors for their opinion of your request. – JBarta (talk) 17:41, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Please hold off archiving WT:SLR for now
Thank you very much, dear bot, for all the servitude you did archiving WT:SLR. Happily, the situation in Sri Lanka has calmed down with the end of the civil war, so that our talk page is much less active now. I had been thinking of setting the interval longer, but since I don't know how to do that, I am simply asking you to stop archiving this page at least for now.

Is DyceBot dead?
Dycebot has stopped running, can anyone here revive it? Kmusser (talk) 19:29, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

List of battles 1401-1800 listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect List of battles 1401-1800. Since you had some involvement with the List of battles 1401-1800 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Steel1943 (talk) 09:19, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
