I fail to see the point of the templates and the category. It really isn't necessary for us to keep track of everything that the bot has done via a category, is it? --Deskana (talk) 18:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * There to show that John Bot is currently updating the tranclusions, Just letting them know that a Move is in progress.   CWii ( Talk  18:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see why that's important. The category is completely redundant. --Deskana (talk) 18:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I agree with the category, but templates no.   CWii ( Talk  01:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Idea: Move Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes processed by John Bot → Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes to be processed by John Bot. So now its a request category.   CWii ( Talk  12:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OperatorAssistanceNeeded Ok, do that, and go ahead and make 50 edits as long as this bot is compliant with the nobots system. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 12:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

 * John Bot still needs to be approved for AWB.   CWii ( Talk  20:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * John bot appears to be approved for AWB. SQL Query me!  09:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It is now :).   CWii ( Talk  22:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: Just created this that will be used with the bot.   CWii ( Talk  23:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How's this task coming along? SQL Query me!  06:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I just got back from vacation. Will get to it soon!   CWii ( Talk  22:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I withdraw. The work needed to prepare, watch, and maintain the bot is tiring and often not worth it. Sorry,   CWii ( Talk  19:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
