Function Details: BRFA 1 was specific for {{WP India}} Tagging for Wikipedia:INDIA . This is for any general project tagging request at Bot requests page. Action is simple :- Bot takes a category. Bot loads an article list and converts all to talk. Bot tags articles using the kingbotk plugin with Generic templates option. To be safe it will not run for categories recursively. The requester has to provide the end node category(s) for the article list collection.

Does anybody have any objections? If not I think this can be speedy approved. BJ^Talk 23:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

As long as it doesn't go recursively, which usually leads to disaster, it should be fine. Mr.Z-man 23:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Recursive is fine, as long as you dont go too deep ;). As of current svn snapshots, AWB has more list making functions, to go recursive, but not so deep, to reduce problems! Approved for trial (25 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. (Note my COI for this task (AWB and plugin), so cannot approved).
