 * It appears to be User:Ankit Maity.  MBisanz  talk 14:50, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, created this account from the bot account itself. My mistake. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 16:23, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries, just let us know what the function details are when you're ready.  MBisanz  talk 02:24, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Typo fixing is not a task we approve for bots due to false positives (WP:CONTEXTBOT). Even is you supervise your edits (I'm not sure since your last edit), the bot will first make an error before you fix it later. Definitely not something that is non-controversial enough to use a bot flag. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 15:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Task 1 up. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 06:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Task 2 up. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 06:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * We can't approve Commons bots (commons:Commons:Bots/Requests). — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 10:24, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Then, Task 1's there. --AnkitAWB (talk) 16:07, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * So Task 1 is supervised WikiProject India banner addition to applicable talk pages. Is that's correct, then Make sure you use a descriptive edit summary. —  HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Request done at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 11:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Request approved but "Category (recursive)" source process in AWB is going so slow, I am unable to complete the list comparing and tagging process. Will take some days (wait for 1 week) because I am a student so I don't actually get enough time. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 16:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Atlast, it's working. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 15:51, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. A little more than 50 edits. Ran at 2-6 epm. Total of 3 errors. The pages are:

About 8 edits done with the prepend tool in AWB, rest with Plugin++. -- Ankit Maity Talk Contribs 16:08, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Talk:Chala Mussaddi... Office Office (Prepend error)
 * Talk:404 (film) (Plugin++ error)
 * Talk:?: A Question Mark (Plugin++ error)
 * Just had a question, if my bot tags banners for another WikiProject, should a new BRFA request be filed or it's all right with this one only. -- Ankit Maity Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs 16:13, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If it has community support (i.e. the project actually wants those tags on those pages), then, generally, yes. Though it would better if you drop a note at WT:BRFA or mention this here (as you sort of have). — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Here the banner was placed before talk page notice and no banner shell was used. Does the bot use WikiProjectBannerShell and WikiProjectBanners in principle? — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I heard Plugin++ does it. Maybe, there was some kind of error in the plugin then. But then, I will try to integrate it myself in the future (so till then it's normal). -- Ankit Maity <sup style="color:magenta;">Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs 04:33, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Anyway, is talkheader supposed to be on a article's talk page (afterall not all article talk pages have it). -- Ankit Maity <sup style="color:magenta;">Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs 04:39, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Removed the template per Template:Talk header/doc#Usage. There wasn't any discussion on that page nor does it gets high traffic (so it was kinda not needed). -- Ankit Maity <sup style="color:magenta;">Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs 08:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * -- Ankit Maity <sup style="color:magenta;">Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs 08:28, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * BAGAssistanceNeeded -- Ankit Maity <sup style="color:magenta;">Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs 11:18, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That template is really for when the BRFA hasn't had attention for a week or so. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 11:26, 3 December 2012 (UTC)


 * A larger sample size. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 11:26, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Re-Done. -- Ankit Maity <sup style="color:magenta;">Talk <sub style="color:green;">Contribs  12:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I see that Plugin++ doesn't group banners into banner shell (but it seems other bots like TinucherianBot don't either, though there are bots like Yobot that fix this). Otherwise, looks fine. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:58, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
