Discussion[edit]

I used my User:phe account to run a bot at low rate but a bot account will be better. phe 16:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interwiki's fine.... I'm not sure how to approach "all the pywiki functions.... - it's a bit of a gray area" but the interwiki is a speedy approve -- Tawker 17:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, interwiki is fine. But a request such as "all functionnality from pywikipedia which doesn't require adminship" is not. It's far too vague and it's not allowed. Snowolf ^(talk) _CON ^COI - 18:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits look fine, account looks fine, French accounts look fine. Speedily Approved. for interwiki only. You must come back for new approval if you want to do other tasks. --kingboyk 18:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let me clarify, I preferred to remain vague. This include search and replace and other cosmetic change (cosmetic change only on user request). I'm aware about the English vs. American spelling debate and the don't touch that non-said policy. On fr: I wrote many bot based on pywikipedia and for example created such stubs but I don't plan to do so complicated things on en: and anyway such article creation must be discussed first. At least 100 K of the 320 K edit on fr: with fr:user:badmood has been done with custom bot. I don't get exactly what evidence I must provide except my fr: bot contributions count, so I'll do only interwiki on en:, it'll save me a lot of time. phe 18:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You simply have to apply stating what you want to do, like you did here. You're now approved for interwiki, if you want to do any other tasks just come back. We won't bite! Cheers. --kingboyk 18:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
