Discussion
Can you explain in more detail what edits your bot will make under which conditions? Will it follow nobots?  r speer  / ɹəəds ɹ  14:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

You can see almost 100 of these edits made under my account using AWB with no bot options / flag here  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 15:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If it is required to follow nobots then i can make it follow nobots but i don't see why it should as the only edits it makes (adding / removing tags) will not really be wrong.
 * It will only operate in the main name space so it will not try to tag and talk pages e.t.c
 * If the page is not in a Category then the bot will add
 * If the page is a dead end page the bot will add
 * If the page is an orphan the bot will add
 * If the page needs to be wikied it will add
 * e.t.c if page is X then bot will do Y (as SQL put it)
 * If there is a tag already such as without a date the bot will add the date. e.g.

 * All trial edits done, I whtched them go through and i don't think anything went wrong. If this bot gets approved, which i hope it does, i would ask for it to be allowed the bot flag as it makes high amounts of edits.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont  19:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also i would like to add general fixing to this bot as this could do good as it trawls the input pages.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 19:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem with you doing that. Just like User:SmackBot does as it goes around making 100's of edits :). —  Ree dy  19:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * - Bot will run with a flag —  Ree dy  19:37, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
