Working fine

The bot seems to be working fine, so it could probably be run 24\7 now.--ANDY+MCI=Andy Mci 20:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, it's now configured to run through all the lists (which takes a few seconds) then pause 60 seconds and start again, indefinitely --Mortice 21:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Automated message to bot owners

edit

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 03:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
