[edit] Discussion

I have already done 25 successful edits. --EivindJ (talk) 15:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

And as result, I had to block the bot, because you must receive an approval first, and only then start editing. So, here go the questions: (1) what options will you use for interwikis? (2) do you realise that you must update pywikipedia on a daily basis? (3, not a question actually) categories is a tricky thing: you need to file a separate request, where you will need to explain clearly what exactly "category changing if needed" means. Also, working with categories requires some knowledge of English Wikipedia policies, while your unapproved edits may indicate some problems with that.

I see. I therefore removed "category". I use the bot on no.wiki, running it through our articles using -autonomous and -force, letting it change, put in and remove iw's. 2. Yes, I know that. --EivindJ (talk) 15:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
