MGA73bot 3
Operator: MGA73

Automatic or Manually assisted: Manually assisted

Programming language(s): Python - pywikipedia

Source code available: Standard pywikipedia

Function overview: Tag files with NowCommons template if they are not allready tagged.

Edit period(s): From time to time - as long as there is free files on en-wiki :-)

Estimated number of pages affected: Some thousands in file namespace.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): ? Should not be relevant

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes

Function details: Tags files with NowCommons template if the file is also uploaded to Commons. BotMultichill used to do it Bots/Requests for approval/BotMultichill 5 but has not been active for some time. My bot uses the same script as BotMultichill. --MGA73 (talk) 20:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Bot has done a few test edits so you can see how it works (may need to check deleted usercontribs). --MGA73 (talk) 20:56, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Will the bot respect KeepLocal and NoCommons? Anomie⚔ 21:04, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes it will skip files with these templates. --MGA73 (talk) 21:07, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I thought this would be a "speedy closure" since I use a standard script, has a bot flag allready and another bot has been approved to do the same task (bot owner is just inactive at the moment) so the task should also be ok. So I'm wondering if you expect me to do something now? Do more tests? Give more information? Or is waiting the answer? :-D --MGA73 (talk) 17:19, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
