Legobot I and Template:Rfc

Hi Lego… Nice bots!
I recently made a change to {{ Rfc}} to reduce size/duplicate code; but since then Legobot has been adding |rfcid=…'s (likely because of the testcases).  I considered blocking {{b○ts|deny=Legobot}} or working around it in other ways, but the tags aren't actually breaking anything, so why fix it.  But, that said, I am leery of Legobot editing its own trigger template, even if its just a one time thing.  I'm wonder if it would make more sense for Legobot to simply ignore {{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | 1 }} = "Template:Rfc"  pages entirely (before removing the 18 rfcid tags from {{Rfc}} and {{Rfc/testcases}}).  I had actually expected the bot to be picking up Category:Wikipedia requests for comment and adding only those to the appropriate Request for Comment pages; but that obviously wasn't the way to go.
Just to mention, the tasks list on User:Legobot lists Task 29 as the approved RFC bot function, but the Task 29 link is for the withdrawn function of converting {{Musicbrainz}} templates.  Cheers — Who R you? Talk 15:21, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Re. Legobot Task 15

Just so you're aware, Mlpearc has posted on the help desk asking if there is still an active archive indexer bot. Yours is the last I could find that performed this function, so I was wondering if you knew about any other bots with the same programming, or some other automated feature that would help him out. Your input would be hugely appreciated. Kurtis (talk) 23:46, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Kurtis, I've been using User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver for quite a while and can continue with no problems, what I would like is to have a bot continue updating my index which is way out of date. Mlpearc (open channel) 00:33, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

TFA bot only move-protects

Hey there, just a quick question: isn't TFA bot suppose to edit-protect articles rather than move-protect them? Noticed this when numerous IPs made edits, after it paid a visit to the Cyclone Joy page, which is currently on TFA (I've filed a RPP request though). I see that it move-protects everything without the lock icon too: Special:Contributions/TFA Protector Bot. Why not edit-protect? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:18, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

The TFA bot is working exactly as planned. It is only meant to put move protection on articles, not edit protection. TFAs are not routinely given edit protection in advance of problems, but if there is excessive vandalism on the TFA day then semi-protection (to prevent IPs and new accounts) can be used, as with any other article. See WP:SEMI. BencherliteTalk 18:50, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Ah I see, thanks. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 19:05, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
