Bot?
Hello. Is this a bot account? If so, why is not listed at WN:Bots or Meta-wiki? If it is not a bot account, why are you making such edits? --Green Giant (talk) 21:08, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello Green. I saw that it was less than 20 edits, so I allowed myself to run the bot even without a bot flag. Neriah (talk) 14:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm… I’m not aware of any bot policy locally or globally that says you can make bot edits if it is less than 20 edits. You should not be "allowing" yourself to do so. All bot accounts must be authorised either here or on Meta-Wiki. Please refrain from doing this again unless you have an authorised account, because we can block such accounts on sight. I did not want to block your account until we had some explanation. It is not a satisfactory explanation but I will let it go this once. --Green Giant (talk) 18:21, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Though, you can always request bot access here; and if you can also share the source code, that would be great! 103.48.105.12 (talk) 18:38, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If you want, I can run the bot regularly, but for that I of course have to ask for a bot permission. On which page if I want I can ask? Neriah (talk) 19:43, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You can request bot permission at WN:Bots. --Green Giant (talk) 21:17, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Re: bot request
Hi, I've left you a new message at Bots/Requests/Neriah, please check. Gryllida (talk) 21:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Gryllida I answered there. Neriah (talk) 21:06, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Bot flag added to the bot's account now. Gryllida (talk) 22:55, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Gryllida Hello. There are many Double Redirects that are protected from evaluation at the sysop level only. what can we do? Neriah (talk) 09:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * En.wn has given bots sysop rights before, but none have it currently. I think it's done at the regular RfP - see here, for example. Heavy Water (talk) 15:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Gryllida, @Heavy Water It is not possible to give permission for 10 minutes for the bot to run? Neriah (talk) 17:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Bureaucrats-here, at least-do not give out sysop flags without community consensus, to bots or humans. It should go through RfP. Heavy Water (talk) 17:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Is there any point in opening a vote or is it unnecessary (that the sysops will do it themselves)? Neriah (talk) 18:20, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * How many of these are fully-protected? If it's, say, 50 or less, editprotected might be the way to go to save the time of an RfP. Heavy Water (talk) 18:26, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Heavy Water I've added requests in all of them. From which sysop can I request to treat it? Neriah (talk) 19:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * They now display in votings at the top of Recent changes and other places, so one or another one of them will get around to it. Heavy Water (talk) 19:59, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Heavy Water and Neriah, thank you - I just did one in Category:Protected edit requests, I will continue to fix them. It may take me a few weeks as I rarely have a time slot of around an hour of undisturbed time; I get distracted by my environment a lot, so I will do them one at a time when able to. Please check when you receive reply at talk page, and if the redirect has been fixed correctly, then take the request off. It is also okay to utilize the bot to leave such requests at talk pages, when the bot lacks access to edit the page directly. (Not that I know why these pages are protected -- perhaps as they have been published a while ago -- but then there wouldn't be much left for the bot to fix in the first place...) Please let me know if you have any other questions. --Gryllida (talk) 22:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Gryllida@Heavy Water I have a lot of requests left, I would love for them to be taken care of.
 * Please note, on the next page I could not edit the conversation page because it is also protected: User talk:The New Mikemoral.
 * I would be happy if you buy there. Neriah (talk) 10:13, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Is there something there that still requires attention? Gryllida (talk) 22:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Gryllida I ran the bot now. I would appreciate it if you could handle the other pages that the bot skipped (what needs to be done is to change the internal link that appears on the first page to the name of the third page (you can see what is the first and what is the third by the arrows)), which appear in Special:DoubleRedirects.
 * I would like to put together a list of requests for you here, but because of the war I don't think I will have the time to do so.
 * Thanks, and hopefully good news! Neriah (talk) 16:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
