[edit] Discussion

How will you determine if the tag needs to be added? ~ Wikihermit 02:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

what pywiki modules are you using? β^_command 02:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Could be all of the modules. --  PNiddy  Go!  0 02:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

So your going to use m:copyright.py to figure out whether or not to add a tag? :-S ~ Wikihermit 02:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

or upload.py ? β^_command 02:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

How will it detect whether it needs cleanup? I am not aware of a built-in module for adding/detecting the need for cleanup tags. If you aren't using a built-in module, could you provide code? If you are, exactly which modules is it using? Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 03:16, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

There is no Python Wikipedia bot framework module that can perform, or assist in performance, of this task. Source code, please. — madman bum and angel 03:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Not quite true - there is a module for actually adding the tag, but none for detecting whether it needs it etc. Source code is required, or an indication of how exactly you will detect pages needing them. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 03:44, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Which one's that? It's not one of the main ones listed on Meta. In any case, the user is unresponsive (as always) to inquiries regarding how a need for {{cleanup}} will be detected. Recommend denial of this task request. — madman bum and angel 16:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Agree along with a derail of all future requestβ^_command 16:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Support. I believe PNiddy coming here and trolling anymore should result in a block. This must be the 4th vague request? ~ Wikihermit 20:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Please provide exact details of which modules, or your source code, or do a future SIMPLE task using AWB. If you are doing any more task requests without a program such as AWB, and you do not provide the source code and/or exact module names in the request, they will be denied. If you do not provide details within 24 hours of this message, I will deny this BRFA. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

No response has been received, after editing since messages left on their user talk page. Enough time given. Denied. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 08:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

In future, any requests from you should include: source code, exact regex patterns and/or information on the matching algorithms. If using pywikipedia, pywikipedia module names/commands, or a package such as AWB, details on the settings should be given. Any request by you not meeting these criteria can be denied by 'any' user if the information is not presented within an hour of posting the BRFA. It wastes time if you refuse to give any details or even comment giving an idea of the timeframe until such information is available.
