Hello? Come on guys! Feedback! :) Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 16:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Patience... --Deskana (talk) 18:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I fail to see the point of the templates and the category. It really isn't necessary for us to keep track of everything that the bot has done via a category, is it? --Deskana (talk) 18:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

There to show that John Bot is currently updating the tranclusions, Just letting them know that a Move is in progress. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 18:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't see why that's important. The category is completely redundant. --Deskana (talk) 18:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I agree with the category, but templates no. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 01:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Idea: Move Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes processed by John Bot → Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes to be processed by John Bot. So now its a request category. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 12:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Approved for trial. Ok, do that, and go ahead and make 50 edits as long as this bot is compliant with the {{nobots}} system. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 12:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

(undent) whoo hoo! :) CWii(Talk|Contribs) 20:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

John Bot still needs to be approved for AWB. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 20:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
John bot appears to be approved for AWB. SQLQuery me! 09:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
It is now :). CWii(Talk|Contribs) 22:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Update: Just created this that will be used with the bot. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 23:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
How's this task coming along? SQLQuery me! 06:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry. I just got back from vacation. Will get to it soon! CWii(Talk|Contribs) 22:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I withdraw. The work needed to prepare, watch, and maintain the bot is tiring and often not worth it. Sorry, CWii(Talk|Contribs) 19:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
