Discussion

Since this code is originally not yours, will you be able to maintain it when problems crop up? I'm not completely clear, but based on User:NoomBot/Bugs and User talk:NoomBot#Bot shutoff, it looks like there may be some outstanding issues. — Earwig ^talk 01:05, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have plans to rewrite the code into my own format. Headbomb has also offered me assistance with the scripts since the design is mostly their's. I have had a glance over the code and have a working understanding of how it works, so I should be able to tackle any immediate issues.—cyberpower ^Chat_Offline 04:47, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Let's give it a shot, then. Approved for trial (50 books). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — Earwig ^talk 02:43, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 11:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a look at the latest run, and things seem to be in order. But what happened on July 23rd (see bottom of page)? Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:11, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was performing some tests during setup and accidentally started up the script.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 06:17, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Previously approved task, new code seems to be working. You can resolve any issues with Headbomb. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:20, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
