[edit] Discussion

If it's simply interwiki and it's supervised, I don't see any need to go thru the entire bot approvals policy - it's more or less a human assisted account not an automated bot. Barring any objections, I'd go ahead and approve the bot. Hold off for 24 hours from the time of this post to make sure nobody has an objection please though -- Tawker (talk) 05:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me tawker. Perhaps WP:BOTS needs revised to allow more w/o approval. SQL ^{Query me!} 20:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
