* Added AWB access per request on COM:RFR for testedits. --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:00, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have now done one batch of edits similar to the kind of edits I had in mind to perform with my bot. --Averater (talk) 09:11, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please add "Bot:" at the begin of the edit summary? --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. I'll do that for all further edits. I have never noticed that before, but see now that all other bots do that. --Averater (talk) 10:30, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think something like fix template call will be more precise then fixing template typo. I don't think that section header should be in edit summary. Providing link to page with list of fixes in edit summary is other good practice. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
About the header: If it is common practice here to exclude it from the edit summary then I'll of course also do that.
About the specific edits if I understand you correctly: I don't intend to make huge batches of edits but smaller batches fixing different kind off mistakes. Such as those I myself had made that I fixed in the test run. Therefore it wont be possible to keep a "static" page with a list of edits as that page would consist of one item that would change for each batch. But I could of course be more specific in the edit summaries. --Averater (talk) 14:33, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did a few more edits now according to your suggestions above now. --Averater (talk) 21:55, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks OK for me. Please be more specific in describing task in edit summary in future. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:15, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
+1. Looks OK for me. :-) --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:16, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no objections, I think bot status should be granted. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
