[edit] Template:Cent
Hi bot, I tried to remove {{cent}} from the AfD/current boilerplate here and at its actual place, but maybe your owner picks it up elsewhere. Just don't add this spam to the AfD pages, please, they are already huge, and scrolling through unrelated "cent" links while searching a deletion debate by date is a PITA. Something like "add 'cent' only if it was modified" would be cute. -- Omniplex 21:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed {{cent}} again, the subpages are apparently not the "master" pages. Bot on auto-pilot? -- Omniplex 09:19, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LDBot question - deletion log page
Purhaps this was the place to put comments about this bot. I've copied the following directly from User talk:Lightdarkness:
- I'm not sure if suggestions for this bot ought to be made here or on the LDBot talk page, or if the LDBot even generates the message I'm about to refer to, but I've decided to ask here. I noticed lately that a lot of AfD nominations are ending up at the top of the list, instead of at the bottom. I know in a lot of places it says to add new nominations to the bottom, but this request is often not heeded (or seen, purhaps). One place it might be useful is the editing page for the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log. When someone opens the link to the editing page for the deletion log, one will see <!-- Add new entries below this line -->. Purhaps a more useful message would be <!-- Add new entries at the bottom of the list below this line -->, or something to that effect. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

- I'd suggest that the line be changed to <-- Add new entries to the bottom of this page --> Kimchi.sg 14:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

- I see the suggestion was implemented. In the short term, it seems to have been working pretty well. Thanks. Agent 86 00:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Strange edit to WP:AFD/current by LDBot
Posting my message here as well as on User talk:Lightdarkness:
Your bot, LDBot, did a very strange edit to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/current recently. I've reverted it but I thought it'd be good to post you a message on it in case you didn't notice. – Elisson • T • C • 01:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC) (UTC)
[edit] WP:DRV
Hello, I wonder if it's possible to let this bot do some menial tasks at WP:DRV, namely to create a new daily and monthly log pages? ~ trialsanderrors 19:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This is a automated to all bot operators
Please take a few moments and fill in the data for your bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Status Thank you Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 19:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 03:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
