Discussion

• Er, I'm slightly concerned at the test edits without having actually gotten authorization for test editing; unless, was the bot being run in assisted editing mode (i.e. with human supervision)? --Cybercobra (talk) 23:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

It's only five edits, though. Why did the bot remove the it interwiki link on the one article? --69.225.3.198 (talk) 23:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

The interwiki removed said "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)" (wrong). The valid interwiki is: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)"

This bot has the flag in the spanish wikipedi as you can see here. These five edits were to test the bot here, only adding interwikis. Regards!!!

here you can see the bot's edits on the spanish wikipedia. --Esteban (talk) 00:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

So it will handly Italian wikipedia links also, not just Spanish? Well, I'm not too concerned about interwiki bots, you're addressing user questions, that's all I care about. --69.225.3.198 (talk) 03:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree, interwiki bots are uncontroversial, and a few unapproved edits aren't cause for a lot of concern. Except from that it shows that Esteban doesn't understand our bot policy. At Esteban: Please read through WP:BOTPOL, it's important that you and your bot keep to it, if you have trouble understanding anything in there just ask us to clarify.

I think that those test edits is due to a "cultural problem". In the Spanish Misplaced Pages we do ask the bot controllers to perform some test edits in order to facilitate a decision about the way the bot is operated. Regards, Poco a poco...¡adelante! 13:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry the unapproved test edits, I wanted to make sure the proper functioning of the bot before submitting you. I just read the policy. I am using the latest pywikipedia and I'll wait your authorization for continue testing. Best regards!--Esteban (talk) 14:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
