Discussion[edit]

At the moment, this is way to broad. You say this is semi-automatic, are you planning for this to be an alternative account for yourself, to use AWB (without the bot settings (e.g. autosave)), so as to prevent clogging up your contributions? See Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Assisted_editing_guidelines for what I'm talking about - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 10:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to manual, that's because I want to use it for AWB. -Porchcrop ^{(talk|contributions)} 01:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. Since you are approved to use AWB manually on your own account, there is no problem with using it manually on this alternate account. As I said before, please see Wikipedia:Bot_policy#Assisted_editing_guidelines. You will not be marked as a bot on AWB checkpage (which means you will have to review the edits), and you won't be flagged as a bot, since you aren't one. I have requested access to AWB on your behalf, so this bot account should be able to use it soon. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 11:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
