No content in Category:Dance in Chechen

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Dance in Chechen, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Dance in Chechen has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Dance in Chechen, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Pointed editing

The bot seems to be changing {{Barnstar}} to a non-existant template. - J Greb (talk) 01:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Why substitute "unsigned"?

I have temporarily blocked the bot (until we have discussed this), since the bot is substituting {{unsigned}}, for which there is not consensus. And the bot also does it on non-talk pages where the template is demonstrated or linked.

Since another bot was doing the same thing, and I have blocked that bot too, and people already have started discussing it at that bot's talk page, let's discuss this over there: User talk:Master of Puppets#Why substitute "unsigned"?

Do you mind unblocking the bot right now. It will not be doing this task, but it needs to do some other ones. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 23:45, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I have now unblocked the bot since you stated it will only do its other tasks. I have been away for some days so I haven't checked my watchlist lately so I didn't notice your message above until you left a message on my talk page. Sorry about that. (Next time leave a message at the admins talk page immediately, so you don't need to wait as long.) And since I have been away I don't know what the result is of the discussions whether to let bots substitute {{unsigned}} or not.

I checked around, the result of the discussions over at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 57#Substitution, substitution and at Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard#User:BotPuppet seems to be that most users think that we shouldn't do extra bot edits to substitute {{unsigned}}. But I think that the template can be substituted at the same time as a bot does other edits to a page. So I have asked SineBot to substitute manually added {{unsigned}}, when it is doing its other edits to talk pages. That will pretty quickly fix most cases out there, without costing any extra resources at all. (SineBot substitutes the unsigneds it itself adds to talk pages.) I hope SineBot will take on this task, since I think that could keep everyone happy.

Anime importance criteria?

Could you please explain what criteria the bot is using to rate importance of anime/manga articles? I see only a huge swath of "Automatically assessing importance as low per WP:ANIME/ASSESS" (no other rating) under its contributions, and even a quick eyeball by a non-expert (myself) showed two which were clearly NOT low importance. arimareiji (talk) 20:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I am following this up. Regards, G.A.S^talk 20:52, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Rugby Player to Rugby Union

Could you switch this automated task off as there is no consensus to switch rugby player to rugby union. This has been discussed several times on WikiProject: rugby union, and Wikipedia standards point against using the name of the sport after a sportsperson, they prefer profession. These will probably be needed to be switched back. FruitMonkey (talk) 07:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it was done by User:Cydebot. See this edit. Legosock ^(talk) 02:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
