Discussion

I'm just curious if you'd open this to other projects, or just keep it with the Canadian Football Project? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:12, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I can do this for other projects too. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 01:09, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

That's cool. This should be really useful. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits or 10 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.. I realize that this trial would cover the entire task, but we'll count it as trial; assuming successful and you want it, the trial can prove the bot for use with other future lists. You may want to consider making a text based list so project members can copy and paste it to their raw watchlists. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I have started the trial. I can create a page like /raw for the raw watchlist. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 04:57, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}} Any progress? Richard⁰⁶¹² 17:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I am cleaning up the code, and adding a feature so it will display the name of the category of the article per request. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 02:13, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Trial complete. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 22:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

In general, everything looks fine, although I'm unsure about this edit where the raw watchlist was cleared. Was that a bug? Richard⁰⁶¹² 19:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes and it has been fixed. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 02:26, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

In that case,  Approved. Richard⁰⁶¹² 10:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
