Meta:Requests for bot status/Pathosbot

The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a closed Meta-Wiki request. Please do not modify it.

Flagged Consensus seems to be quite clear here. Pathoschild knows how to operate his bots, there shouldn't be any concerns here at all. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 11:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pathosbot[edit]

Pathosbot automates various programmable tasks that I would otherwise do myself. On this wiki, it has updated links, substituted templates, and updated language request status pages. (On en-Wikisource, its past task are too numerous to list here.)

The bot is an open-source extendable C# script using AutoWikiBrowser as an editing & interface framework. The source code used for each task is frequently linked to in the task log, although it has not had many recent tasks on Meta. —{admin} Pathoschild 01:43:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Question: Are you going to updating old RfAs with it? I hope you don't, as it's been done wrong. We use {{closed request}} on RfAs, not the other template you've been adding. I'm going to have to undo all of those you changed. Majorly ^talk 12:23, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The bot flag only prevents edits from flooding recent changes, it does not change the way I use Pathosbot. Since I did that task myself, I see no reason why I would do it with my bot simply because it is flagged. I also don't see how the new template is relevant here, but I started a discussion at Meta talk:Requests for adminship. —{admin} Pathoschild 23:55:59, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I support the flagging of this bot. I assume pretty much by default that Pathoschild is aware of what he is doing. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
