Hi there, I see RedBot is editing the interwikis on pages in the Template: namnespace. This should not be done using standard pywikipedia, per the English Wikipedia Bot Policy. Please make sure you remove the template namespace from the namespaces the bot edits. Thanks, - Kingpin13 (talk) 12:32, 4 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Edit wars between bots????

edit

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fukushima_II_Nuclear_Power_Plant&diff=next&oldid=420406461
RedBot (Robot modifying...) is undoing an edit by EmausBot (Robot modifying...).
There is a Move tag in progress to move/rename the page, ending March 26. I can imagine opinionated people having an edit war over a name, but having a bot edit war is just too funny. :)
Hopefully as RedBot's human, you will be able to figure out a way to make it smarter, and set a good example.

That's not an edit war between bots. Both bots simply changed the interwiki link to the german page, because it was moved, first from Kernkraftwerk Fukushima-Daini to Kernkraftwerk Fukushima II, so EmausBot changed it here. Some hours later, it was moved back to Kernkraftwerk Fukushima-Daini and this time RedBot changed the interwiki-link here. Regards, Redf0x (talk) 07:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

request

edit

There is a page Sultan, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Since the title is outdated, can you please move the page using the title,, Sultan bin Abdulaziz or another relevant title. If you can suggest me any way to do it, it is also appreciated. Thanks, Egeymi (talk) 15:39, 16 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I did it, thanks anyway.Egeymi (talk) 15:59, 16 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your bot on English Wikipedia

edit

A proposal to de-authorize a group of idle interwiki bots on the English Wikipedia is currently in process. A bot account of yours has been included in the list. If you are no longer using this bot, no action is neccessary by you. Should you wish to revive your bot in the near future, please remove your bot from the list here: en:Wikipedia:Bot_owners'_noticeboard#Bot_that_are_inactive_for_the_last_2-4_years_and_may_lose_bot_flag. Thank you for your contributions. For the en: Bot Approvals Group, en:user:Xaosflux 12:05, 28 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
