Discussion

This bot would start in AWB but i would like it if i could eventually run a PHP one to do the same and without having to get another BRFA (if posible) ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 20:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Easiest thing to do, is if/when this is approved, and you've got the PHP one written/sorted, just re-open it, and it would only require a short trial to confirm continued functionality. —Reedy 20:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok this is currently for an AWB one then. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 20:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Template migration is No Big Deal. Presumably this concerns the {{self2}} -> {{self}} conversion. I would like to see why this needs to be done. Commons redirects template:self2 to template:self, too. Gimmetrow 16:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

If it's not broken, don't fix it. CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 22:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure, technically, Addshore could do template replacement, but this request appears to be about the self2 template (although that wasn't mentioned here). It claims that something is broken with {{self2}}. What? How? If you're approved for template and TfD-related work, I still want to know why this particular task is needed.

Withdrawn by operator. Its not broken so I wont fix it! ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 20:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
