Discussion

I'd just like to mention that this will not be another delivery-only bot. User:GeorgeMoney is digging out the PHP and then I will do those tasks too, I just decided to start on something simple...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 19:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. for the Newsletter delivery feature using the standard AWB implementation only. Other tasks or programming codes will require amended or separate BRFAs. MBisanz ^talk 21:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No I haven't, I need to enter a CAPTCHA because the newsletter contains external links - I'll wait 4 days...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 21:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, now I've  Done this month's delivery (I had to make 10 null edits to get autoconfirmed status)...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 13:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Just thought I'd mention that I'm coding some VB, but it'll be a while before I get that sorted...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 22:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

{{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} I've manually checked the bot's edits and no errors were found. I propose this request is approved. BJ^Talk 09:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
