Request reason:

Won't continue bot tasks until bot status provided. Or at least fix the wrong "Spamming links to external sites" reason (edit summary info flag incorrectly indicated so, while the bot was in fact fixing/extracting Google search URL result tracking URL to the real target URL) to true statement like "Bot-ing without being approved bot" or so, please.

Decline reason:

The bot shouldn't edit without approval. Of the edits I checked, every single one was useless, so I rather doubt the task will be approved any time soon. That said, I agree that spamming wasn't the issue here; I have removed the relevant category. Fixing the block log entry would just be make-work, though. Huon (talk) 00:08, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Why are you operating this bot without approval? — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 20:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

​ Uh! What a html soup! To the current topic: Why? Not doing anything harmful. Making approx. 20 edits without a bot status after asking for it is a common practice on some wikis anyway. Btw, why do you revert legitimate edits? Related talk: User_talk:Coffee#MykhalBot. —Mykhal (talk) 20:11, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

@Huon: I disagree slightly about changing block rationale being busywork; sometimes the block log is the only thing people look at, and in this case they'd get an unfair picture of what happened. Left the block in place, just made it clear in the block log this wasn't spamming. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:04, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

For the record, I strongly disagree with Huon's evaluation of the bot's actions, that they are useless edits. Following talk here. —Mykhal (talk) 07:32, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
