 * Now hang on, Reedy... will it also check for Reflist too, or at least a == References == section? X clamation point  20:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * At the moment it check for sections References, Footnotes and Notes (this can be expanded). The bot also checks or these templates: Reflist, Refs, FootnotesSmall, Reference, Ref-list, Reference_list, References-small, Reflink, Footnotes and FootnotesSmall (Again can be expanded).  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 20:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Link. 30 Edits completed. I need to change ti to make sure that it only looks for pages in the article name space but other than that everything to me looks ok.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 20:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The bot will now only look for articles in the main name space. Can I have another short trial?  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 18:03, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Another trial.  MBisanz  talk 18:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

What's the reason for not using reflist? I've been told but it didn't make much sense. BJ Talk 03:45, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
