VshBot

 * The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. The result of the discussion was Symbol oppose vote.svg Withdrawn by operator.

Operator: Vishwin60

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Both

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Replacing soon-to-be deprecated edit-count userboxes

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run

Edit rate requested: 10 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N (pending after a previous approval)

Function Details: At Templates for deletion/Log/2007 May 5, a consensus is starting to form, saying that the edit-count userboxes should be merged into one userbox. If the TFD goes through, I had already mentioned there that I would be willing to change all of the usages of the old templates to the new template.

Discussion
How many instances are there to replace? Martinp23 10:30, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * "Quite a few", but I think the number doesn't matter too much if the consensus is clear at the MfD? --kingboyk 11:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking along the lines of having a number of bots possibly do the task, depending on its size, as suggested at the MfD. Martinp23 20:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If it's important, the new template has color options, so replacements could be done to reflect the list I generated, which is currently at User:Gracenotes/Sandbox 2. Grace notes T § 21:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Automatic es can be automatically added to the new template.  V 6 0  干什么？ ·  VDemolitions 22:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * [twitches] that introduces some server load that is, in my opinion, unneeded. Recall that there are four colors here; four huge switch statements (or grouped, even one or two switch statements) is a lot. Something that could be done is to create a template that passes the first template name as an argument, and has a  statement from that argument. The choices for the switch statement are all of the format  . So when you substitute , it produces the correct template. Uh... a bit complicated. Any thoughts?

 * There's a lot more than four colours. We'll have to live with the current colouring in the newly-revised template, to compromise between the people who want to merge all of the templates and the people who think style is important as well.  V 6 0  干什么？ ·  VDemolitions 00:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that the correct place to bring this up would be at the TfD :). Martinp23 18:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

What's going on with this? --ST47 Talk 10:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Apparently another bot handled this task.  V 6 0  干什么？ · 喝掉的酒  ·  ER 4 16:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
