Some of those are exactly the type of notifications I'm hesitant to continue allowing. While on the one hand, it's important for new users to learn about broken redirects, having a bot constantly spamming talk pages about them seems to do more harm than good. I'd be interested to hear what others think. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this seems a bit counter-intuitive to the notion of speedy deletions, in a sense. They're supposed to be entirely uncontroversial, specific deletions which are maintenance-related. Having the janitor tell you every time he takes out the trash is bound to get annoying. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
CSDWarnBot seems to have been restarted by ST47. Are you still interested in pursuing a clone? --MZMcBride (talk) 05:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little unsure on what's going on with ST47, as the IRC BAGBot started too, even though mine works. Soxπed93(blag) 21:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So what's up? Is this bot still needed? – Quadell (talk) 14:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would still like to run it, but I'd like to hear from ST47 if he is on. Soxπed93(blag) 21:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a need, but I don't have a problem with a clone as long as they don't interfere with one another. Per MZMcBride, I don't have a problem with users opting out from this task like I do with my imagebot, because users usually keep track of their articles. If you do want to set up a copy, we'd need to coordinate any opt-out requests. Also, I'm curious as to whether you've made any modifications or looked at the code I use to identify the original uploader, because I really don't like it. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs(st47) 01:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (5 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Be sure to coordinate with st47. – Quadell (talk) 14:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
