Requests for bot status
- Contribot (talk · contribs) - posting new contributors-program projects to the wiki. Requested by chris and ffm.
- Mchuabot (talk · contribs) - something of a bot testbed for me; initial functionality will be using pywikipedia-based bot to work with (semantic) forms and templates for collecting/aggregating data from community testing Requested by Mchua.
- In principle this is fine. Please create a userpage for the bot describing what it does and who runs it (even though the name seems self-explanatory now :), and start using the bot without the flag. Note that the flag is only needed once the bot starts to make significant changes in a way that offbalances RC; as long as RC isn't overwhelmed, we don't need any bot flags at all. --Sj talk 08:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
