replyBot worked mainly fine in the first run. Realized halfway through that I was using the wrong protection log entry, I've fixed that now. There were also a few files like File:Meta-logo-35px.png that are used on the main page, but were never upload protected (they just had edit protection), so my bot overwrote that. I'm not sure that's a problem per se. Legoktm ( talk) 09:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC) reply
Trial complete. There's some weird stuff going on with the delete/undelete mechanism that I need to look into ( ex). Also, figure out what happened with [2]. Looking at the file page right now, I see that it is listed as being on the Main Page...except it's not. I'm guessing the imagelink table is outdate/not being updated properly? Can we run into any bad problems if it is out of date (unprotecting an image that needs to be protected)? Legoktm ( talk) 11:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC) reply
It appears necessary to undertake another trial. Without prejudicing or curtailing any ongoing discussion, you may begin at your discretion. Approved for trial (5 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Josh Parris 09:40, 26 December 2013 (UTC) reply
Would it be useful to protect images more than a day in advance? Wikipedia:Main Page queue gives seven days of forthcoming templates, so that could be added to the bot's list. This would give an extra margin for error if the bot is down for a few days, for whatever reason. Bencherlite Talk 18:43, 7 January 2014 (UTC) reply

Was approved for trial, but I can't see any relevant edits from the bot.

Anything new about this task? I also wanted to ask, if it wouldn't easier to run this task on Commons, instead locally. What do you think?

Legoktm Any updates? If we don't hear anything in a week I'm going to administratively close this as expired.
