Support Makes sense. --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Looks OK for but I think will be good idea to add Flickr user name into category. Just for possible verification purposes. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if I get that. Where excatly to add what? --Krd 20:27, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- @EugeneZelenko: do you mean this? Otherwise, looks good. Riley Huntley (talk) 21:54, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Something like that, but will be good idea to use template for this purpose, may be without text visible to users. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:20, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I do not disagree, but I have no idea how this should look. Please feel free to suggest anything. --Krd 07:44, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

- Support Sure. Yann (talk) 11:18, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support This should reduce the workload of the community. --★ Poké95 02:00, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Any update on this? This is ok for me, I think. ★ Poké95 07:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oh wait, why this bot is too slow? 1 edit per minute seems to be not enough for me. If you are worried about the performance of the servers, you should not worry, because there are semi-automated tools that are faster than a bot, and there is no performance issues. Maybe make your bot more aggressive, increasing it to 6 edits per minute (that's still slow for me though, but let's be conservative)? ★ Poké95 07:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- We can speed it up up to some maxlag value, but I don't consider that necessary for a non-realtime job. 6 epm is possible of course. --Krd 07:41, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Can this be approved? If not, please advise what is missing. Thank you. --Krd 07:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- @EugeneZelenko: Please check if there is anything missing. Thank you. --Krd 06:34, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- As I wrote, template for category (for symmetry and possible checks) will be good idea for this task. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:55, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- I don't understand how this could look like. Can you give an example? --Krd 14:05, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- If a template is to be added, it makes more sense to do it manually. This bot's focus is on adding images to the category, not on the category itself. Riley Huntley (talk) 01:12, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Template make sense to verify content of category. Since category relates to Flickr account, it's reasonable to state this fact in it. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm still missing an example. Can you provide one, please. Thank you. --Krd 14:39, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Something like {{FlickrAccount|95704119@N08}}. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:05, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- It has already been confirmed above that this shall be done for the Category, manually before the job starts. --Krd 14:09, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- If there are no issues remaining, I'd like to request approval of this task. Thank you. --Krd 10:30, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
