Discussion
Archiving talk page discussions can be hard for people who are new to Wikipedia. They may just do it the “basic” way: blanking the discussion, which is a bit unnecessary to experienced users. Since this bot will archive old talk page discussions, it will also add the archive search template on all talk pages. Metric Supporter 89 (talk) 02:21, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

You do not seem ready to be a bot operator. The English Wikipedia expects bot operators to be familiar with our policies and guidelines, which is not evident from the way you filed this request. You should probably spend some more time as a normal editor before trying to run a bot. Also, if you do submit another request in the future, you may want to look for a task that doesn't already have several different bots already doing it. Anomie⚔ 02:23, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
