Those unauthorized edits look fine. MaxSem 21:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it get the list of pages to edit from?Voice-of-All 08:17, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the code uses getReferences from the disambiguation page to find them - I would guess that's the same (or similar) thing that "What links here" toolbox item does. Skumarlabot 19:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Approved. This bot is performing a standardized task with the python framework and has already performed an "unauthorized" trial that seemed acceptable. Since this bot is a manual human assisted task and is uncontroversial, the bot flag is hereby granted. -- RM 15:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
