Approved.
Operator: east718
Automatic or Manually Assisted: automatic
Programming Language(s): PHP
Function Summary: maintains trackers in my userspace for images tagged for pseudo-speedy deletion
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): every six hours
Edit rate requested: maxlag=5, unthrottled otherwise at it makes only 21 edits per run
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): no
Function Details: I've been keeping track of images that are about to be deleted and sorting them by type (i.e. logo, album cover, art, etc.) - this helps myself and other users apply fair use rationales to them with ease and save them from deletion. I've been running this task and variations of it on my main account without problems for around a month now, results can be found here and at these deleted pages: [1] [2] [3] [4]

[edit]Sounds like a reasonable request to me. Shouldn't harm anything @ 21 edits per run, and, it's in your own userspace. SQLQuery me! 20:27, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- one request, sort the list by deletion date. βcommand 18:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Done, see Special:Prefixindex/User:East718/DFUI. east.718 at 12:51, February 17, 2008
- {{BAGAssistanceNeeded}} Can I have +b please? I'm running the bot only once a day and it's already racked up over 400 edits with no errors (see Special:DeletedContributions/718 Bot). With the sorting by date, it also floods RC for a couple minutes. east.718 at 19:21, February 20, 2008
- If it's only making 21 edits per 6 hours (per your request), it shouldn't flood RC w/in a couple mins? SQLQuery me! 04:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- With the switch to datesorting, it makes 60-80 edits per run now. east.718 at 17:32, February 22, 2008
- Ahh, fair enough. Looks like the trial went well to me :) SQLQuery me! 06:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- So... Can we call this approved yet? Declined? I'm only prodding because it's been a while now... I'd suggest approved... SQLQuery me! 08:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
