Discussion
Confirming that I asked TyA to do this. Most people think that igloo is dead and have probably commented it out in their skin.js files. I want to make sure they know it's back. -- Kangaroo  powah  02:34, 7 August 2013 (UTC)


 * And Ty, can you link to WP:Igloo in the message? Thanks. -- Kangaroo  powah  02:35, 7 August 2013 (UTC)


 * If the user has commented it out in their script file, will your bot find them, I read the source and to my untrained eyes it is justs looking for backlinks and if it is commented out surely it won't count the user as a backlink? Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 23:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Done. ~ty(talk) 02:41, 7 August 2013 (UTC)


 *  ·addshore·  talk to me! 16:24, 10 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Any update on when you can trial the bot? Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 12:15, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I was having some minor issues, then I got busy. I will start the trial shortly. ~ty(talk) 20:05, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

I realise that this is a bit late, but I think it would make sense to run against users in Category:Wikipedians who use igloo as well. That way if someone has removed it, completely, from their script files but left the topicon or userbox they will still get the message. Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 23:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Withdrawing - I withdraw my request. ~ty(talk) 23:26, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
