Discussion

Please create a user page for your bot, that identifies what it does and who operates it, as required by the bot policy. Also, are you aware of our policy on interwiki linking bots, specifically the part that requires you to stay out of the Template namespace? - EdoDodo ^talk 06:03, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Done. Yes, I'm aware of yours policy on interwiki linking bots. I made this edition because I knew there was no documentation in any Wikipedia. RmSilva ^{can talk!} 00:06, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Aside from the actual task of this bot, what about the possibility of confusion with User:CorenSearchBot which is commonly referred to as CSBot and even uses it itself? VernoWhitney (talk) 23:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I do not know this bot. I created the CSBot on 2009-02-18, in Portuguese Wikipedia, well before editing here. RmSilva ^{can talk!} 16:25, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, that was more a question to the BAG members reviewing this. I just wanted to point out that there may be a possibility of confusion and leave it up to them to decide if it's a problem or not. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Before proceeding with test edits, please make a visible note at the top of the bot's user page (or just below the {{bot}} template) that makes it clear that the bot is unrelated to CorenSearchBot to avoid confusion. Feel free to take however much time you need for trial. - EdoDodo ^talk 15:14, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• If approved, I'll notify Coren in case he wishes to simply let his bot sign as CorenSearchBot, not CSBot. Acather96 (talk) 19:27, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} what is the current status of this request? ΔT _{^{The only constant}} 15:08, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm here! In these weeks I am somewhat active in all projects, but but I will return soon. RmSilva ^{can talk!} 12:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 Approved. Bot has slowly made more or less the the trial edits (currently has 44) and they all look okay. Since the task is a standard one and edits look okay I won't be overly bureaucratic about it, and I'll just go ahead and approve this. - EdoDodo ^talk 10:13, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
