Discussion

Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Previously approved bot task. Let's see how it does :). - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 22:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't know the procedure here, but as a regular UAA patroller I can say this bot did a fine job, and it's presence has been missed the last two days. The only thing I noticed was that it occasionally said a report was delayed until a user had edited, when there were no edits. It'd be nice if that was fixed, but it's certainly not a serious problem. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, let's see if X! can fix that - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

 Approved. This has support, is a clone of an existing bot, and the trial results were fine. The only thing you need to fix is the bug mentioned above by Beeblebrox and Kingpin13, but once you're done with that, I have no problems with this. — The Earwig ^(talk) 20:02, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
