Discussion

User:ClueBot VI formerly performed this task, but has not been reliable lately. I was approached about having AnomieBOT take over the bot-clerk position. Anomie ⚔ 16:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (1 week). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Thanks! –xeno^talk 16:56, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm satisfied with the bot's operations thus far and recommend approval. Approved for trial (Interim approval - until formally approved). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. –xeno^talk 14:48, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. (the first one anyway): [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] There were a few minor issues, but nothing too bad. In this edit the logic for "notified" was wrong, in this edit it used the wrong count for unattached SUL edits, and in these edits it didn't realize that an attempt to usurp "TARGET NAME" should be handled specially.
