WikiProject help desk
After reading the bot requests it seems to me that there is a nice division here between what the WikiProject help desk is doing and what this page does. I noticed there are many intricacies that must be dealt with when doing stuff like applying regular expressions to the entire Wikipedia. As such I have placed a rule on that WikiProject that states that all changes suggested by a program will be approved by a human. This eliminates systematic changing of the entire Wikipedia, a domain which this page seems much better at. However if you see any requests come through here for one-off tasks, or tasks that only apply to a few articles, then send them over to the help desk; that way you can focus your attention on the subtle details of not destroying the entire Wikipedia with a crazed bot =).

Stupid question
I know I should know this, but is there some sort of tool or bot which can check to see which if any articles that are contained in one category, or have one template, also have another template? John Carter (talk) 15:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
21 of the most common spelling mistakes

necessary. Could a bot be used to check for these spellings? Some of them slip through editing. #8 Principal School teacher le belief #12 calendar get er spelling often and so on21:41, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
