Estimated number of pages affected:

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

Discussion
It's looks like, according to the bot, you're doing this already? What's different that you want approval for? --69.225.3.119 (talk) 05:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing different really. Recently I used the bot to ass some sport-work-group and yes I already been doing it for some time (mainly after requests in my talk page). I just want an approval from BAG as well. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:35, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you clarify please? Tell me if I've got this right; At the moment the bot adds yes/no to WPBiography templates on the talk pages of articles, and you want approval to add the initial WPBiography template? - Kingpin13 (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * To add sport-work-group, etc. if appropriate. As I said I am already doiung it but not massevely and until now unofficial. To do what Kingbotk was doing.-- Magioladitis (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. You seem to have been doing a fairly good job thus far. But would it be possible to check if a page is in a more specific sub-project of the one you are going t add. For example, at Talk:Tim Buzaglo the bot added the sports and games work group, but the page is already in WikiProject Football, which is a sub-project of WikiProject Biography/Sports and games. - Kingpin13 (talk) 11:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Alll bio articles from WikiProject Football should be tagged with WPBiography sport-work-group. I was thinking to add only WPBiography but yes I can add more banners if asked. I can, for example tag footballers with both WPBiography sport-work-group and Wikiproject Football banners. That's a good idea and will save us edits. Plus, I'll be doing some cleanup bases on WP:TPL i.e. moving talkheader on the top if exists, removing nested parameter, etc. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

For WikiProject tagging via either the use of a template (e.g. adding WikiProject Football to a talkpage) or parameters (e.g. adding yes to the bio template). - Kingpin13 (talk) 20:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
