NOTE: The bot was renamed from Cerabot, because of CERabot, to User:Ceradonbot.  Ce ra don  talk contribs   00:38, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This bot appears to have edited since this BRFA was filed. Bots may not edit outside their own or their operator's userspace unless approved or approved for trial. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:44, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This is easily explained, I forgot to put -confirmed on, but I have it on as an option now. I have read and understood the bot policy.  Ce ra don  talk contribs   01:49, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Looks good, but let's do a short trial to make sure everything works. &mdash; The Earwig   (talk)  04:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * NOTE: -confirm was expected to be put as an option temporarily during the trial however The Earwig asked me to keep it off in IRC. --  Ce ra don  talk contribs   23:53, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

– I'll look at the contribs in the morning if someone else hasn't gotten to it. &mdash; madman 04:07, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Madman. --  Ce ra don  talk contribs   04:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

This bot can not be approved with both the -auto and -force parameters. I've suggested to Ceradon that he remove the force parameter. - Kingpin13 (talk) 16:39, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Rolled back 25 of the bot's edits in which it erroneously removed interwiki links (presumably due to the -force parameter per above). &mdash; madman 16:42, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The -force parameter will not be used. --  Ce ra don  talk contribs   21:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Parameters now check out, just another standard interwiki.py bot. - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
