Talk to me!
Can you clarify on whether I need to go through Meta:RfA for this if it would edit only a few times per day or so? It isn't clear on the bots page since that says that it's only required if a bot flag is required. Also do you know what the general practice for this is on other wikis (i.e, those that don't have a clear bot policy themselves)? Leaderboard (talk) 19:06, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- In general, bots should get community acceptance on a project before they are used. This can usually be accomplished on the village pump pages of projects without dedicated bot pages (c.f. International names for Village Pump). Yes, I think you should do a meta:request for bot flag here as well, m-w is fairly low-key on this and many requests will just pass silently. You certainly should not try to unleash bot editing on hundreds of projects that haven't asked for it - that's a good way to start getting lots of blocks. It's a good idea to have a bot flag where you will operate, it helps assure others you ask is approved. If you want to try to run this bot "globally" you will certainly need to go through the steps outlines in Bot_policy#Global bots. — xaosflux Talk 19:25, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, you're suggesting that it's OK to have a bot that wouldn't edit all that much to have the bot flag set anyway? Leaderboard (talk) 06:40, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- It is certainly OK to have a bot flag on a bot that doesn't edit that much. Also note, having a bot flag doesn't require you to assert the bot flag on edits that for some reason shouldn't be flagged bot on recentchanges/watchlists as well. As this is mostly for usertalk keep in mind that you shouldn't use +bot and +minor at the same time or it will supress newtalk notification. — xaosflux Talk 09:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Ergo Sum's global interface editor access
Hi, Xaos. I noticed that you granted Ergo Sum global interface editor access. I assume that you meant to add global IPBE instead, as you gave them Meta IPBE too? Thanks, Sdrqaz (talk) 09:46, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Sdrqaz thank you for the note, yes that was my error and it has been corrected. I also went through their global contribs since then to see if there were any communities I needed to follow up with, but don't see any edits over their other access. — xaosflux Talk 09:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I've been waiting a while for this without any update - is there something specific I need to do? Apologies if this is irritating. Thanks in advance. Leaderboard (talk) 04:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Bot requests on this project sometimes take a while, this is a low-volume project. In any case, I've closed the task request as accepted now. — xaosflux Talk 09:56, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Template Votings
The template {{Votings}} doesn't seem to work correctly with this election. Would you mind having a look? I've tried a purge action on the template, with no result. Thanks, M/ (talk) 18:38, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Solved with a workaround. The LUA code doesn't understand relative paths. --M/ (talk) 19:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Xaosflux, thanks for your undo here. Just a little explanation as to why this happened; a user requested IA, but it was deleted by EPIC shortly after I added it to the request page. Regards, Wüstenspringmaus talk 12:31, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Expansion of IP global ban
I refer you to your open proxy global block of this IP. I ask that this block be expanded to a range block as there are other IP's in the range from the same provider that have been used on Wikipedia on the same subjects (see for example here and [1]. I did a WHOIS for the last one and it covers the range that includes the IP you have already globally blocked as an open proxy. See here. Curly Suix (talk) 03:54, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- The entire range doesn't appear to be running open proxies at this time, however your two examples and an adjacent do - 3 more IP's have been blocked there. If it persists within this provider we may need to expand it further in the future. — xaosflux Talk 09:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- What about this one?. Right next door to the one you blocked originally. It's been active on the same subjects also. Curly Suix (talk) 03:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

About bot
I'm sorry to bother you, but let me check with you anyway. Does the bot run without approval when performing a small number of tasks (editing and sending emails)? Sorry to bother you again and waiting for your reply. Iming (talk) 11:05, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Your request may get closed as "approved" but unflagged. Bots only need flags if there is a reason to assert the bot code on edits. — xaosflux Talk 12:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
