Discussion

 * Please note that this bot is programmed by me, and I have tested the code on a dry run through 50 of the articles in that list, not one flaw found. Code is available for review at User:nixeagle/bots/synbot/1. ——  nix eagle 03:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * No. Put it in AWB's general fixes or something, please. Parameters can be safely disabled for a reason. These edits are wasteful and unnecessary. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:04, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There are some 7,000 articles in this list. The point of this task is to remove those with ==Charts== sections from the category. The only way to do this is by removing the parameter from the template. ——  nix eagle 05:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:21, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Please cancel this task as far as Synbot running it. I plan on running it with User:Nixbot. Give me time to copy/paste this formal paperwork crap over though. ——  nix eagle 01:27, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Paperwork all copied over at Bots/Requests_for_approval/Nixbot. I'll hold off trial until one of the bag folks marks the new bot with the trial template. ——  nix eagle 01:57, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
