Hi! Delighted to just notice you had done some recent hist-merges in Special:Log/merge, and then to find your bot was updating these reports again. Welcome back! wbm1058 (talk) 15:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Listas bots

Hi, I was referred to you by Schwede66, who left a note on my talk page informing me that you had once operated a bot to handle listas parameters for biographical articles. I've been working on cutting down the backlog, which was at 39K when I started back in January and is now down to 28K. I don't know much about bots, but I would be interested to know if your bot could be pressed into service again to help shrink the backlog. Lepricavark (talk) 18:28, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Eep, I'd have to think about that. I'm not even sure I have the code for ListasBot around anymore...and if I do, I'd probably have to do some work on it and resubmit it to BRFA. Can you elaborate on what needs to be done? E.g., do we just need to update the listas tags on {{WPBiography}} templates?
We just need to fill-in missing listas parameters on talk pages of biography articles. However, I don't want to inconvenience you and it's not an urgent matter. Lepricavark (talk) 02:21, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
