[edit] Discussion

IF anyone would like to suggest a pause time then please do. This bot is proposed as a temporary bot as no other wikipedia sandbox cleaning bots are active. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 07:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Which PHP framework it will use? MaxSem(Han shot first!) 08:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Already made under cluebot (wikibot.classes.php). ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 08:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
There are already 2 bots doing this, OverlordQBot and SoxBot IV. Although, no problems with duplicates. SoxBot IV has its source published, in case you need an example. Soxred93 (u t) 14:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
OverlordQBot is currently inactive due to a PoCo::Client::HTTP bug. And SoxBot IV hasn't touched any sandbox in nearly a month. This bot i have already works / already made now. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 14:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Really? Well, I'll go fix the code then. Soxred93 (u t) 14:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I see no problems here while I fix the code, and the sandbox needs this: Approved for trial (25 edits). Soxred93 (u t) 14:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
25 edits done, but many were done trying to fix my problems. I'll let it run for another 50 edits. Approved for trial (50 edits). I can't approve this yet, however, as I have a semi COI with it (it's based on my code). Soxred93 (u t) 16:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Now done 56 out of the total 75 allowed edits. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 13:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok i think that is now all of the trial edits done so i have turned the bot off until i get another response. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 19:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
