Discussion
[edit]- @DreamRimmer: Hi. What language did the original program by fastily use for this task? —usernamekiran (talk) 14:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: All the tasks were authored in Python, but Fastily used a different library, pwiki, which they developed themselves. It would take me a lot of time to understand a new library, so I am rewriting it using Pywikibot. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Approved for trial (50 edits or 30 days, whichever happens first). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Just need to make sure everything's working given the code rewrite. Primefac (talk) 12:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Trial complete. Edits. Everything looks good to me. It ignores files in categories listed in the config file, just like the previous bot. – DreamRimmer (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:16, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer, you might want to link to this page in the edit summary. Qwerfjkltalk 14:26, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, I will link it. I did not include this because Primefac did not mention this in the approval comment. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:57, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- It is always preferred to link to the related BRFA, which is why I do not generally say that it should be done. Primefac (talk) 20:42, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
