I support the bot request. Meno25 compiles AWB's latest revision by themselves so they will always be up-to-date. They are a regular bug reporter too. Also to remind that similar tasks have been approved in the past: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 11, Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 13. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 23:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.

I added a request for my bot to use AWB. -- Meno25 ( talk) 15:13, 4 December 2012 (UTC) reply
OK. First 50 edits. Since the trial is limited by number of days and not edits, I will keep doing more edits in the next days. Tell me if you want me to stop. -- Meno25 ( talk) 17:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC) reply
If requested, I can disable general fixes and do only tagging. I am just waiting for the resolution of the bug I reported above and I will make another test run taking into account all the comments above. Thank you. -- Meno25 ( talk) 15:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC) reply
OK.
Second run. working today (7 December) on artciles created on 5 December. The bot was set to bypass CSD templates. Regarding general fixes, I kept them because I think they are useful. --

I believe that all points mentioned above have been addressed, so, can I have this BRFA approved? --
