Discussion
Complete side-note: Assuming this passes (and I think it should, within reason) would you mind coding it as generically as possible? So people could come to you in future and say "I want X delivered to Y WikiProjects. I did some of them manually already, could the bot ignore those?" That would be most helpful. - Jarry1250 09:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- The bot is already coded, and coded very genericly. It can either use a cat, a plain text list or a list of links. Ill just add one new variable which will be something like $devlivery for the name space of the delivery. Can be set to "User_talk:" or "Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject" e.t.c.
- It will be very easy to use multiple times for multiple tasks even if I dont do this. its 44 lines of code when you only acctually need 30 :P ·Add§hore· 10:08, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. - to prove the world isn't going to end when you start it up. - Jarry1250 21:01, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- trial edits here ·Add§hore· 20:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry I meant here. All seems good. ·Add§hore· 21:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- {{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} Can someone approve or deny this? The sooner it is rolled out the better. 02:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- {{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Any idea how many projects there are in total? How many edits per run do you expect? MBisanz 07:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

- See User:Addshore/Sandbox2. Per the lists I origionaly got that rom it is 1518 wikiprojects so 1518 edits. ·Add§hore· 07:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Any idea how often this will be running? Who will tell it when to run (A project coordinator or something)? I'm just trying to head off the "Why is this bot spamming us about something we don't want" arguments. MBisanz 07:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well I don't really know how often it would run, but it's worth running this time at least. Other bots don't ask permission before spamming projects, I think Shepbot just spammed about 1200 of them for a WikiProject Council message. Also we're implementing a news system at WP:AAlerts/News so it shouldn't run all that often if people use the news system instead.Headbomb {κοντριβς – WP Physics} 07:45, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Approved. Responsible editor, I trust him to know when to send the messages. MBisanz 07:53, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
