Function details: Extension of task 5, to allow for taking over Joe's Null Bot's category tasks (eg task 4-9, 12). Requesting general approval to add categories for regular/ad hoc purge, on requests and in accordance with consensus. It will be capped to a reasonable rate daily. The request page will be limited to TEs.
that's kinda difficult question, basically it should be asked the other way around (is this minimum number needed for this bot an issue). I'm told I can open a phab task in Performance-team for a bot review if I want. But that seems a bit formal and time-costly; I personally now think it's better to shove the question down the road until it becomes a problem / the number feels unreasonable. Obeying maxlag should mitigate much of an issue anyway. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 13:26, 5 November 2020 (UTC) reply
