Function details:
 * Help with maintenance of whitelists across wikimedia projects (sorting, removing wrong entries) - there is a need to remove invalid entries, other way huggle is having a lot of troubles updating

Discussion

 * Where are the whitelists stored on the projects?
 * How are the "invalid entries" defined?
 * Can you elaborate on "Synchronize warning templates of huggle with templates project (it would create a copy of templates and change the syntax)"? What do you mean by "templates project"? Does this create huggle specific templates for all project's templates? — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:53, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * 1: Huggle/Whitelist
 * 2: duplicate entries, unsorted data
 * 3:It would copy the templates from Wiki project user templates to the Template:Huggle templates and changed its syntax to correct for huggle. Petrb (talk) 13:02, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

One page, WP namespace, needed maintenance for Huggle. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If it wouldn't be approved I will have to stop it, thanks for review Petrb (talk) 07:38, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * so? Petrb (talk) 17:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Have you been actually checking the edits yourself? . Wikipedia usernames are not case insensitive. How does the bot determine this is the same user? User:WhosAsking =/= User:Whosasking; User:Keithh =/= User:KeithH; etc. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 07:11, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I am trying to solve it Petrb (talk) 13:43, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Have you yet? It shouldn't be difficult to make it case sensitive surely? - Kingpin13 (talk) 19:07, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't about changing a bot, we need to change way how names are stored in whitelist (for this I need to talk with other people who use our whitelist for own purposes, I think cluebot uses it too), bot can't check if two similar users are or not same user Petrb (talk) 17:07, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
