An admin flag would greatly improve the functionality of this bot, by allowing it to protect calendar-related pages and categories, as well as giving it the ability to edit those that are already protected. —Zachary talk 22:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Support I want a report in a months time, showing if there has been any errors etc, if no major errors are detected, in can keep its flag Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 01:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak support if you check on your bot very often, make sure it doesn't have glitches like Craig's bot did.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 09:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support
, however I'd like it to have a programmed shut-off function for administrators to enact (as far as I'm aware, administrator accounts can still use their buttons when blocked), just to be sure. If I'm wrong about being able to un/block, un/protect etc. whilst being blocked, ignore this and consider it a straight support :)Daniel 06:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thats an interesting question, I know that admins can block/unblock people well blocked (wheel wars haven proven that quite well), but I'm not sure about deletions. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Nope, you can't alter protection or delete things well blocked, so as long as the bot doesn't become intelligent enough to unblock itself we should be fine. Bawolff ☺☻ 05:26, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- All righty, thanks for the note (you learn something every day!). Straight support, as promised :) Daniel 03:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support No issues with a support here. Just keep a check on the bot and all will be fine! --Skenmy(t•c•w•i) 15:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Since the operator is an admin, the bot should also have the same features. —FellowWiki Newsie 15:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
