{{editprotected}}

Please add [[pl:Szablon:Bot]] and [[simple:Template:Bot]] Also, the category might need to be noincluded. Thanks, Yonatan ^talk 18:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Y Done. I haven't changed the category; it's set to sort to the start of the category when not included and to the bot's name when included. --ais523 13:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The following interwikis have been found using Global Wikipedia Article Search:

[[af:Sjabloon:Bot]]
[[ca:Plantilla:Bot]]
[[gl:Template:Bot]]
[[hu:Sablon:Bot]]
[[id:Templat:Bot]]
[[it:Template:Bot]]
[[sv:Mall:Bot]]

Y Done, also moved documentation to Template:Bot/doc ^demon^{[omg plz]} 09:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Request

{{editprotected}}

Could an administrator please add the following code:

[[Category:{{{1}}}'s Bots]]

in includeonly tags? It would be incredibly usefull for tracking all bot accounts by a specific user.

Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 09:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

N Not done This would create a lot of redlinked metadata categories with names that don't follow the normal naming conventions; please gain consensus for something like this first. (A better name would be something like 'Wikipedia bots operated by {{{1}}}'.) --ais523 10:02, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gap after tag

{{Editprotected}}

There is a gap under the all the tag code between where the actual bot message ends and the <noinclude> tags start. Please fix, and make the <noinclude> tag appear immediately after all the tag code ends. +spebi ~ 08:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I've known editprotected requests on other tags in the opposite direction, requesting the addition of space under the tag so that when multiple tags are used on a page they don't join directly onto each other but instead have a gap. That's likely to be less of a problem here, though. Do you think that despite this, the space should still be removed? Does anyone else have an opinion on this? --ais523 08:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe the gap should be removed, and if other users want a gap to separate the tag from other tags, they can add <br /> to the end of the tag.

A table with no gap in between itself and the next table, create a nice, neat gap.

Nice clean gap... :)

It is slightly different with div tags, which probably makes other users' feel the need to add the gap at the end:

+spebi ~ 08:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Oooh! Adding class="messagebox" creates a small space between each tag. +spebi ~ 08:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

So what edit exactly should be made? --ais523 16:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Make the noinclude tag start on the same line that the tag table code finishes:

|}<noinclude>{{Bot/doc}}

instead of

|}

<noinclude>{{Bot/doc}}

Thanks, +spebi ~ 21:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 05:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hebrew interwiki link

{{editprotected}} Hi, could someone add an interwiki link to the Hebrew Wikipedia's version ({{he:תבנית:Bot}} or {{he:Template:Bot}})? Thanks in advance! —Ruakh_TALK 00:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Done, though the page with the interwikis is actually not protected (Template:Bot/doc). --- RockMFR 02:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, heh. Well, thanks even so. :-) —Ruakh_TALK 02:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update a lot of interwiki's

Thanks! -- Yekrats (talk) 12:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template Documentation

{{editprotect}}Apparently the bot that was converting pages to the newer {{documentation}} standard skipped this page due to the protection. See WP:DOC. — Dispenser 01:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
