- @WLEbot, @Lou.gruber: Please be more specific as to what tasks will be performed by the bot. odder (talk) 14:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- A number of categories for natural preserves in Germany (number is still unknown, but > 1000) should be created in preparation of the WLE campaign starting first of May. It is an international photo contest of taking pictures of natural heritage, see Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2014 for WLE details. An example for a category kann be found under Category:Naturschutzgebiet Eichenhain. It is planned to include WDPA-IDs to the categories. --WLEbot (talk) 15:37, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Please make a test run. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

- Pleas add {{Bot}} to the userpage. Thank you. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:51, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Done.--Lou.gruber (talk) 19:27, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- @Lou.gruber: Please use language templates (such as {{En}}, {{De}}, etc.) for descriptions added to category pages, for instance Category:Naturschutzgebiet Büsnauer Wiesental. In addition to that, whenever possible, please use English names for categories. Thanks! odder (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- We still use english names for categories, for example see Category:Nature reserves in Bodenseekreis. We use the Category Category:Naturschutzgebiet Büsnauer Wiesental because this is the original name of the nature preserve "Büsnauer Wiesental". English expressions like nature preserve (also natural reserve, natural preserve, bioreserve or preserve) are not totally equivalent with the German "Naturschutzgebiet". With regard to language templates: i can promise that we will use language templates for the next categories .... --Lou.gruber (talk) 08:37, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- I would still prefer that you fixed the existing categories before progressing to creating new ones, it's only fitting. odder (talk) 12:09, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- I see you are running the bot-softwear with your main account... --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Fixing the categories in what context??? We will never reach a steady state. And yes, it is true that I did run the bot-software for one Bundesland and the category NSG due to the fact that Wiki loves earth started at the first of May, we have some hundreds of uncategorized photos and i was urgently asked to upload a first tranche for testing purposes.

- @Lou.gruber: Fixing as in adding proper language templates ({{En}} for English text, {{De}} for German, etc.) to descriptions in existing categories. Other than that, the task looks OK to me. odder (talk) 14:40, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- + 1, looks OK --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:02, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- We will add proper language templates. --Lou.gruber (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
