Discussion

How will you be supervising the bot's operation? What will it do if the recipient's talk page restricts AWB edits? Wronkiew (talk) 06:57, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be looking over it, checking its edits are doing what they should (although with AWB this is quite likely). I don't believe that anyone's talkpage on the list I plan to use has restricted access. Should this occur though, I'll simply add the template by hand. GARDEN 18:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Looks simple enough, just remember to get the prepend/append and new line spacing correct, those were the hardest settings when I started IIRC. MBisanz ^talk 16:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Righto. Will run it on the Sunday when it is required. Thanks. GARDEN 21:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edits looks good , but do you want to consider to make the BRFA more generic ( for any Newsletter delivery). This will help you if you also want to help anyone for some other newsletter delivery/ other solicited talk page notices or even take a request from Bot requests ? -- Tinu Cherian - 06:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't know how to go about that, but it sounds reasonable enough I suppose. GARDEN 10:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
