Can you please do some test edits to see what exactly the bot does and if the bot does things correctly? Thanks, -Barras 19:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sure. See Special:Contributions/CaBot.

Before doing this for every pages, I prefer to be sure : may I add Category:Translations <lang> to every pages which names end by /<lang> ? -- Quentinv57 12:30, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Those categories should be automatically added to most pages through Template:Translation2, so I don't think it's necessary to have the bot do it... if you exclude all the pages named like "Translation requests/", though, that might be okay. Cbrown1023 talk 18:25, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is it better to add to these pages Category:FR or Category:Translations fr ? Those two categories appear to be the same thing as pages in french are also translations to french. Do somebody know what's exactly the aim of Category:Translations fr, please ? -- Quentinv57 10:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In my mind, Category:Translations fr is just for pages that are created on Meta just for the sake of translating them and putting them on another wiki (i.e. Translation requests) and Category:FR is for other French content pages on this wiki (including pages that are unofficially translated here and are meant to remain here).

That's okay, I've moved pages my bot added on Category:Translations fr to Category:FR (except one). Thanks for details, now the bot should run finely :) -- Quentinv57 20:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Progress report? --dferg ^{☎ talk} 10:09, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are actually no objections to this request, even thought it stayed open long enough, and the cat sorting looks reasonable, so I go ahead and grant the bot flag. -Barras 08:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
