Discussion

  • Hello, thanks for the request! Something I am curious about is why the bot requires bureaucrat rights. Blocking proxies and category removing shouldn’t need this, correct? Let me know if I’m missing something! X (talk + contribs) 11:35, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
It does not need crat right. Am I posted to the wrong place? Bosco (talk) 11:43, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
I’m not sure, I thought this page was designed for bots that required bureaucrat rights, but to be completely honest, I was never in favor of it being created in the first place. You are the first one to even use it. X (talk + contribs) 11:45, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
I am also not quite sure why this page was even created. Nonetheless, the community seems to have no problem with the bot mass blocking open proxies. I guess a steward can mark this as ok, and I will add your bot to excluded user group for Justa's bot The AP (talk) 06:42, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
