[edit] Discussion

I noticed that Seedbot was doing resets for the sandbox, but for the life of me, couldn't find that task mentioned in either of the two BRFA, which is why I'm submitting my own BRFA. Q T C 22:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedily Approved. Would you mind publishing your code? --ST47Talk·Desk 22:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Can do, just need to clean up some debugging stuff out of it. Q T C 01:51, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
On a side note on the Approved log it mentions it already has the Bot Flag, looking at the bot flag log, it's not listed. And according to the log it's not listed either, so just want to clarify that just to be on the safe side. Q T C 05:59, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Probably a mistake because its a second task, ill fix now. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 06:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
