CommonsDelinker
This is a special situation bot request, from commons:

''Commons gets a lot of images that ultimately, need deleting. Red links on wikis referencing them are ugly. There are 701 different wikis that can get images from Commons. A bot has been created and tested to perform the delinking. But consider if all 701 wikis were asked for bot approval! gaak! So concerned commons admins and 'crats are asking on Meta for an exemption to normal bot rules... See Requests_for_permissions/CommonsDelinker on meta for more details. Your support would be greatly appreciated, I expect. You can also discuss it at the Commons noticeboard at the delinker bot topic ++Lar: t/c 18:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)''

Discussion The discussion for this bot is being held at Requests for permissions/CommonsDelinker. Comments in this section should be limited to en-wiki discussion of this bot, but are not binding on it's request at commons (although could be binding over blocks or functionality here at en:).

Discussion
This bot has very clear community consensus and has a proven track record. Not approving this bot immediately would make no sense. All that said, the bot *must* log in and not run anonymously. I've also monitored the edits and it seems that the "trial" is sufficient with no errors that I could find. -- RM 12:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Ammended
This bot shal run with a flag do to high speed editing. —  xaosflux  Talk 05:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
