Operator: Soxred93 (u t)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Occasionally, when I have access to the AWB computer.

Function Details: I know many bots already work on moving/removing/adding categories, but there is no harm with more bots getting it done faster. Only about half of the current bots listed are active, anyway.

Are you doing AWB general fixes? [1] Many of them should not be done in automatic mode. "1960's" can be correct. Gimmetrow 06:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Whether they should or shouldnt be done in automode is irrelevant (the general fixes are fine to be run un-attended). Tthe request doesnt stipulate these will be done at the same time... —Ree dy 20:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  - I have no problem with bots doing CFD work, but that does not give a license to do other changes to the text. And no, I don't agree the AWB general fixes are fine to be run unattended, if these include any changes that may not be correct. Gimmetrow 23:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
