Discussion

120 edits made prior to being throttled and creating this, see Special:Contributions/Xaronim. As categorizing the files using gadgets such as cat-a-lot will clog RCs, having a bot flag is a better option as compared to account creator flag.

Thanks for helping out with the backlog. User:Xaronim is not a very suitable name for a bot and because it's a redirect, it's not easy to identify that this is a bot account. Can you please improve this? Multichill (talk) 18:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

@Multichill: I'll set up the necessary stuff on the user page and I've requested for a rename. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 01:50, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Already renamed, should this be moved to Commons:Bots/Requests/Minorax Bot? Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 01:59, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

I'd say manual categorisation via cat-a-lot should bei done with the main account and without bot flag. --Krd 12:15, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

That can be done as well but might need a flag that has a higher rate limit, tried 120 edits and was stuck for a good 15 minutes. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 12:29, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

After what Riley commented on my RfA, I gave it some thought and I, now, generally prefer doing mass edits on an alternate account. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 12:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

But the alternate account should be no bot, IMO. --Krd 12:35, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm fine with or without the bot flag but might need the account creator flag for that one. Also, its more flexible to do stuff on a non-bot account. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 12:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm fine with that, too, but for which account? A non-bot shouldn't be called bot. --Krd 12:48, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

I don't mind renaming it back to Xaronim and giving it the ac flag. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 12:49, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Ok, please do so. --Krd 12:52, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Requested, and I believe that this can be closed. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 12:58, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
