 * Don't we already have 6 CfD bots? → Σ σ  ς . (Sigma) 01:27, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know. There 3 listed at Categories for discussion/Working. On 21:52, 16 March 2013 went completely inactive, and didn't return to editing until 17:50, 17 March 2013, see: there. Also Cydebot has the odd behaviour to do only it's listifying from category tasks, as can be seen there, despite that there are categories to processed on CFDW. didn't edit since 07:14, 13 January 2013 and  was enabled on 13:39, 17 March 2013, but still didn't do any CFD-related edit at all. Which means, that if Cydebot goes down, than no other bot takes it's place. Armbrust The Homunculus 01:45, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It uses a generic code, right? I wouldn't mind extra redundancy as long as it's based on a generic code.  MBisanz  talk 14:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. Armbrust The Homunculus 15:02, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you test it with the other bots running or do you need to coordinate a test? I'm inclined to approve a trial to test it out as long as E's in agreement.  MBisanz  talk 19:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it makes the same edits. Also Cydebot doesn't working on it currently. BTW I previously used this module on my main account, there is a sample . Armbrust The Homunculus 19:42, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
