Discussion
How will this be different than ClueBot and why is it needed? Between ClueBot and people using huggle page replacement vandalism is almost always reverted within seconds. The fact that you aren't familiar with the programming language that you want to write the bot in also concerns me. —Nn123645 (talk) 00:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Because it won't follow a 1RR. The operator of O98-bot told me. --Fangoriously (talk) 23:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * With the implementation and activation of AbuseFilter pageblanking can be prevented before it occurs, rendering bot requests like this redudant and unneeded. Q  T C 23:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
