Regarding the RfC bot: at this Talk page there is a suggestion that the "per editor limit" may be unnecessary. -- Noleander ( talk) 16:22, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
The category Category:AfD debates (Nominator unsure of category) is going to be deleted. Could you please remove it from One bot's updates of Wikipedia:Dashboard/Relisted AfD debates? — This, that, and the other (talk) 02:03, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Would it be possible to have your bot recognize {{User|Example}}, {{User2|Example}}, ... as well? A recent change to GAN/preload, means that the "User2" template is no longer substituted, so your bot is reporting these as by "???". I think it's better if we don't substitute the {{ user}} or {{ user2}} template since it just looks messy. If you notice the recent edits by your bot to that page are cleaning up the errors due to the substituted version of User2 taking up more than one line. This change to User2 was also reverted, but a mess was made over the past 24 to 48 hours. I believe I cleaned those up on the individual GA# pages. Thank you.

Hi, please could RFC bot ( talk · contribs) be amended to not cause extensive damage to discussion pages, as it did here? Thanks. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 10:12, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

It seems to be transcluding things it shouldn't be onto various RfC subpages, for example: [1]. Cheers. -- FormerIP ( talk) 17:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I've noticed that the documentation for the template says "This template should be placed at the bottom of the article before defaultsort, categories and interwikis." Looking at the history, I think that wording has been there since June last year. Your (very helpful) bot adds it right at the top of the article, although I think that AWB (for instance) will move it to the "correct" place if "fixing" the page. Not that it's terribly important in the grand scheme of things, but it seems slightly odd to have the GA bot, of all bots, add the GA template in the "wrong" place, only for it to be moved by other bots! Any thoughts? Bencherlite Talk 17:40, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Chris, I just wanted to make sure that you were aware that Snotbot 8 was already in trial when you denied it earlier today for not having consensus. I took H3llkn0wz's comments at the start of the trial (or even just the fact that the BRFA had gotten as far as a trial) as a sign that we were past the point of determining whether or not the task should run at all. I've spent quite a bit of time writing the code, creating templates, monitoring the bot, debugging the code, etc. under that assumption, and I'd be disappointed if all that work was for nothing because consensus wasn't adequately gauged at the start of the trial. Had the trial elicited complaints by users who noticed it while it was running, I would understand how it could be denied while in a trial phase, but there were no such complaints. Can you explain to me how a BRFA can be denied for no consensus after it has already run its trial, or perhaps could you reconsider your decision to close the BRFA? Thanks. —SW— express 15:21, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
