Mediation Cabal

I posted something on Mediation Cabal about this. It can be found here. A man against the world 22:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The mediation page is full of his personal attack toward you, I've messaged him not to do so. Wooyi 23:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Can Cydebot help with a CFD close?

Hello Cyde. At WP:CFD/W there's a request to rename Category:Underpopulated Music categories to Category:Underpopulated music categories. The category comes from a {{popcat}} template. I could do it with AWB, but there are 200-odd subcategories to change and it would take a long time. All that's needed it to replace {{popcat|Underpopulated Music categories}} with {{popcat|Underpopulated music categories}}. Could Cydebot handle this? It would be a big help!

I did this with AFB, but there are still some non-standard but probably bot-able CFD closes that Cydebot's help with would be much appreciated. We are looking to move templates from article pages to talk pages for "source" templates (Category:Great Soviet Encyclopedia, Category:Based on Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia, etc). I know how to do this with AWB, but it would be a huge job. I suppose I could always ask for a bot flag, but I'm not so keen on that (if you have a bot, even it's only auto-AWB, people will come asking for stuff).

AntiVandalBot Ignore List?

Hey, Good work with your Bot =)

Is there an 'ignore' list for AntiVandalBot?

As ive noticed it has a few times reverted edits on our AWB sandbox (Misplaced Pages:AutoWikiBrowser/Sandbox), which has meant the user has to revert it again, which can get quite annoying, especially when someone is trying with AWB

Cheers

I've added it (on IRC, and will do on wiki in a sec) :) Martinp23 21:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Never mind - already on Wiki list. MartinBot shouldn't be reverting to that page, nor should AVB (when online). Martinp23 21:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians by number of edits

I was wondering what you thought about the subcategories of Category:Wikipedians by number of edits, seeing as you closed an old CFD debate as delete all for a similar set of categories, and as far as I know no deletion review ever took place to re-allow these types of categories. The debate was a long time ago, however. VegaDark 10:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I would go through and delete them, but that would take a bit of time, and I really don't care enough to consider that time well spent. It's not something that can be done by bot: there are includeonlys with complex syntax all over the place that requires it be done manually. Grrrr. --Cyde Weys 13:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
