Discussion
Sorry, but I will close this per WP:BOTNOTNOW and no necessity for a bot account for these tasks. You can do these tasks on your main account and should seek AWB approval instead. You will only need a bot account if the edit rates exceed manual editing or the community raises concerns. You also have very few edits and bots are generally approved for editors that have been on wiki for a while. If you had, you would know we don't approve typo correction bots and the description of "function details" must include specific details. "very basic tasks" is also not something we can approve. Feel free to reapply when you gain more experience and have specific tasks in mind that a bot can do, such as those compliant with WP:CONTEXTBOT. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 19:02, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
