Leaderbot

Pre-emptively requesting admin+bot so that I can start working on Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Administrator/Leaderboard 2 and Wikinews:Admin_action_alerts#Requesting_edits_to_protected_pages_and_deletion_of_outdated_files amongst others as soon as possible; in particular, I prefer doing bot-like tasks on Leaderbot (rather than my main account). No issues if the community decides waiting is better, though.

Request successful. You're now a sysop and a bot. I recommend publishing source code and list of tasks somewhere, perhaps on user page. Congratulations. I'm closing this request. Gryllida (talk) 20:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support If Leaderboard is granted admin status so can the bot. It will ofcourse only be relevant if there is concensus that the suggested task should be made. Personally I think that it sounds like a good idea to have a bot that can archive articles. If it does not work in practice the bot can always be stopped and the admin rights be removed. --MGA73 (talk) 06:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
