Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought:
- Rename files
Scope: Thousands files within the Category:Lingua Libre pronunciation have been found to have erroneous/misleading filenames. Dragons Bot would help to fix these issue. First push will be on Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation-zho (list), where about 200 files need naming corrections. One other category is known to have 2,000 misleading filenames. Others groups exist. The consistency of those filenames is necessary so complementary usages within Wiktionary operate properly.
Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic unsupervised.
Runs will be occasional and to be well prepared before hand we will :
- Phase 1: discussion within the project's community
- Phase 2: test with few cases <5 must be successful
- Phase 3: production run, could involved between 20 to 3,000 file at once.
Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): occasional, for mass corrections.
API:Move: occasional. When a group of files needs renaming, Dragons Bot renames them.
Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): per community policy of non-urgent tasks (1/5 sec).
Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Yes.
Programming language(s): Javascript, NodeJS via Wikiapijs.

- Discussion
Could you grant this bot account the relevant renaming rights so all my tests can proceed smoothly ? Yug (talk) 14:05, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- I granted file mover permissions for month. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:59, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- What are the requirements and best practices I should know of for moving files via bots ? My speed is fine (limited). Is there some rules on edits comments ? Yug (talk) 11:38, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- At least edit summary should provide clear explanation why file was moved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:06, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
