| Proposed amendment: | |||
| *''']''': which said "Lightmouse is indefinitely prohibited from using any automation whatsoever on Misplaced Pages." is removed. | |||
| ==== Statement by your username ==== | |||
| The Lightmouse non-bot account and the related bot account (Lightbot) have been dealing with units of measurement for years and have played a part in significantly improving the accessibility, consistency and more functional linking of units of measurement that we now see on Misplaced Pages. Lightbot is currently ] and there's an application to extend the scope to include inches. The workload of BAG is such that weeks have passed without a decision. | |||
| BAG and Lightmouse are in the unenviable position of having to debate code scope prior to testing rather than after. It means that non-bot automated edits must be elevated to bot status or remain undone. | |||
| Could I suggest that clause 7.1 be removed? This would reduce the administrative burden related to improving units of measure, which is a huge and ongoing task for Misplaced Pages. I believe it will be to the betterment of the project. | |||
| ==== Statement by Gigs ==== | |||
| The resumption of "MOS Warrior" tactics is not an acceptable outcome here. The manual of style is a true guideline that merely offers guidance, not a set of rules to be enforced using automation. Resumption of widespread and automated "MOS enforcement" will cause a lot of unnecessary conflict. The local consensus at MOS talk pages is often not reflected on a global scale, especially when it comes to units, which are often governed by different conventions in different fields of endeavor. | |||
| I remain unconvinced that Lightmouse understands that automation should only be used for truly non-controversial tasks. The correctness of a particular style is not important, what is important is whether the task is truly non-controversial. | |||
| The latest amendment was generous, and should not be expanded upon at this time. ] (]) 17:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
