User:Conrad.Bot for bot status

• Nomination: I hereby request the Bot flag for User:Conrad.Bot for the following purpose:

  Bulk link fixing. After the deletion of Wiktionary_appendix:Geologic timescale I ran the pywikibot slowly through my user account, I would like to be able to run it quickly with a bot flag for similar occasions such as the deletion of the Wiktionary: -> Index: redirects.

• Restated for clarity as "bulk fixing links to allow the deletion of bad redirects." For examples see me running this bot through my sysop account. The sets of links I would like to tackle are the few remaining Special:Allpages/Wiktionary Appendix: and the Wiktionary: ____ Index pages. Conrad.Irwin 21:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Support

1. Support [The]DaveRoss 00:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC) Rock on.
2. Support Sure, whatever. :-) —Ruakh_TALK 00:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

   And while the stated purpose of this bot is only bulk link-fixing, I equally support any other use of this bot that Conrad might consider uncontroversial. —Ruakh_TALK 22:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

4. Support -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 02:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC) I can't believe we've gone this long without Conrad having a bot.

Oppose

1. Oppose EncycloPetey 21:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC) ...but I might be willing change my vote if I knew what "fixing" entailed. --EncycloPetey 21:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

   I believe Conrad's talking about doing mass link fixes, such as this one. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 21:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Abstain

1. Abstain. I'm not opposing, because I trust Conrad.Irwin. But I cannot vote for a proposal that includes the words "for similar occasions such as". If the wording were more specific, I'd probably support.—msh210℠ 17:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Decision

• Despite the rewording midstream, I'll take the liberty of declaring this passed 9–1–1 (including the proposer).—msh210℠ 17:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
• Made it so. SemperBlotto 21:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
