What the stop button does

edit
  • This (editing the talk page) STOPs the AWB process if it is running or next time it tries to run and alerts me. If the process is not AWB it will not stop it.
  • This applies even if you make a mistake and revert your edit. Also if someone vandalises the page and you revert the vandal. This can mean the bot gets stopped twice.
  • Once I have logged in as SmackBot and viewed the page it is my discretion whether to run the process or not.
  • Some of the messages I get left are things like the word "Moooooo!" so this is a good thing.
  • Moreover SmackBot runs multiple tasks, so a problem with one might not be a problem with the others.
