Discussion
editI seem to do variations on this task fairly often: see AnomieBOT 2, AnomieBOT 4, AnomieBOT 7, AnomieBOT 8, AnomieBOT 10, AnomieBOT 13, AnomieBOT 14, AnomieBOT 15, AnomieBOT 19, AnomieBOT 22, and AnomieBOT 23. Thus, I'm now requesting approval to do this same sort of thing in general.
The first task will be Wikipedia:Bot requests#Replacing project banners. After that, I have another request at User talk:Anomie#WP:The Elder Scrolls and Template:WPTES, and I'm sure there will be more WPVG requests coming. Anomie⚔ 16:06, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Certainly the user can be trusted, and has tons of experience with this. If you always for consensus and are exclusion-compliant, then I support this generalizing of scope. – Quadell (talk) 13:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
