| == Admin bots == | |||
| I just wanted to comment on your post to betacommand's ARBCOM case. Last time we had an admin bot up for RFA it almost passed, and I think it would have passed had Werdna not made the mediawiki improvement. The key concerns I saw on that RFA were, one the fact the bot was closed source, and two, it was not made clear on any additional tasks that the bot would run. Should it be one adminbot per task, or multiple tasks to the one bot that gets approved. Personally I would prefer the former rather then the later, but I do think that the community will accept a properly done adminbot. Just make it open source (nobody but sysops can run it anyway), and promise that you will go back again for a new tasking. But again based on that RFA, adminbots should be able to pass it if they are done right. (please comment on my talk) —— ] </font><sup>]</sup> 16:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :By new tasking I mean if you get community agreement to run task X, don't try to run a new task Y that is totally different then the one that the community accepted, but a task Z that is very similar, (perhaps just a new category or whatever) should be able to go through BAG. —— ] </font><sup>]</sup> 16:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

It only occasionally has a few Wikipedians in it, but response time would be a lot quicker. Would it be possible? And would you be willing to do it? I'd certainly appreciate it. --] 01:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

I'm certainly willing to give reasonable editors wider latitude on the ref desk than in article space, but there are some contributors there who use it as a platform for off-color jokes and soapboxing. ] ] 00:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Memorandum to the community at large: the functionality of Cydebot that periodically listifies certain maintenance categories is currently experiencing some issues. Unfortunately, I'm very busy at the moment and I don't have the time to debug it right now, so I've simply shut it down.

If you, Cyde, still want these tests, consider using a different randomizer. Thanks, ] (]) 04:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC) | |||

duck or goose
re User:Cyde/test, that looks like a greylag goose, not a duck. —Anomalocaris (talk) 20:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Cyde, I've commented out the tests on this test page due to Misza13's random number generator creating negative values when it should not be. These negative values for image sizes are causing invalid image parameter errors (tracked WP:LINT errors that have otherwise been cleaned up here on en.wiki). If you, Cyde, still want these tests, consider using a different randomizer. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 04:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
