Discussion
How are you going to determine which userboxen should be migrated, and/or where are you getting the data from? Martinp23 23:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes is a list of userboxes that are almost done. I put in the name of the box that's been migrated, and I set it to "what transcludes here." Then I check the page to see what it's been migrated to, and set a replace rule to fix that. I believe I will repeat until all the boxes under migration are in one big list, and then create a batch of rules and set it on. That should change all currently used boxes to the correct ones, and then the migration will be complete. ~EdBoy[c] 23:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

During the bot's run of 267 pages, it make 20 bad edits of a variety of sorts which had to be reverted. As such, bot approval is, as of now, revoked, until the owner demonstrates competency with bot operations. — M ETS 501 (talk) 05:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Bot blocked, only to be unblocked during a future BRFA, which will involve thorough trials Martinp23 15:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
