[edit] Discussion

I am an Active AWB developer and also help User:kingboyk out on the development of his plugin. Reedy Boy 21:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Will you be assessing the articles, or just placing the template? —METS501 (talk) 21:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I was planning on just placing the base template, with cat and importance tags. Hence requesting bot status for automatic saving of the edits. Reedy Boy 21:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Approved for trial. Make 50-100 edits and make sure there's no problems, the report back. —METS501 (talk) 21:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. =) Reedy Boy 22:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Just linking to the first proposal for Reedy Bot and noting that it was withdrawn and not approved. Only to avoid chance for confustion. - Taxman Talk 03:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
