Operator: MagnusA (talk)

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: Categorization. I normally work with files of which I have knowledge about, e.g. from my own vicinity in the areas of geography, industry and transportation.

Automatic or manually assisted: Always assisted.

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Whenever I need to add/move many files to a certain category. Normally I edit "by hand" from my human account. HotCat is nice but sometimes I would like the helping hand from a bot account. I do not plan to use it often.

Maximum edit rate (eg edits per minute):

  • If bot flag: standard rate using default value of the maxlag parameter.
  • If no bot flag: max 2 edits/minute (or whatever allowable rate at Commons)

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): I don't think I actually need a bot flag (that's up to you if you want to see me in RC or not), but I would like to ask permission to use bot software. It reduces the risk of typing errors. It would be nice to be able to execute tasks myself instead of asking others or doing it completely manual.

Programming language(s): Standard pywikipediabot framework. For categorization work category.py is used. MagnusA (talk) 14:54, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion


If there are no objections, I think bot status should be granted. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:46, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
