Discussion

• I like the idea. The only problem though is that in order for this bot to work, admins actually have to delete the old revisions. Based off of the number of unhandled items I've come across recently, that just isn't happening. Sven Manguard Wha? 09:30, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Why wait until people are complaining? Once admins do start deleting the revisions, this bot will be ready to do the cleanup. --JaGa^talk 19:14, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Humor dosen't translate well over the internet; I was poking at the admin corps for letting the task rot, it wasn't really a comment on the bot at all. I've struck it. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:56, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Dang. Sorry for taking it the wrong way. I should've known. --JaGa^talk 05:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
