[edit] Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 00:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Gary Russell

This bot recently added da:Gary Russell to the en: article on Gary Russell, a mistake previously made by WeggeBot. These are different people. Bondegezou (talk) 09:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki links on templates added outside of <noinclude>?

In this edit, an interwiki link is added to a template, and as the link is added outside of the <noinclude>, the interwiki link is going to appear on every page that the template appears on. And that is wrong, I guess… –Fred Bradstadt (talk) 18:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I just remove them from the {{todo}} template. I then added it to the sub /doc article. Morphh ^(talk) 21:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The bot has been blocked pending contact with its owner. (Not by me, somebody was faster ;-) ) Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 21:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

*cough* But seriously, here's another diff: [1] weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Suggest that in the future, if/when the bot is brought back to operational status, it first check /doc pages of templates since that is where interwikis are typically located when using that format? — Huntster (t • @ • c) 21:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

And check for noinclude tags anyhow. Sometimes it just dumped stuff outside something like <noinclude>{{/doc}}</noinclude>. Even if it disregards documentation, it should at least recognise the noincludes. User:Krator (t c) 21:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, all template mistakes today reverted. Anyone who is bored can re-add them properly, I guess... --- RockMFR 22:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
