Approved. Lydia is saying that we can run bots, and you've had unanimous approval for some time and have already done a successful test run. Please make sure that, when they are formalized, you bot meets compliance with any reliant standards, such as an edits per minute throttle. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:55, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Hazard-Bot

Operator: Hazard-SJ

Task: Archival of discussion threads (similarly to MiszaBot on en.wikipedia)

Hi, I'd like the bot flag for my bot for setting up automated archival of discussion threads.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  03:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• Support Wikidata:Requests for deletions could use automated archiving --Guerillero | Talk 03:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

  I could probably try coding a separate bot for that.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  01:30, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm about to create a category to manage deletion request, I think it's easier to add a {{delete}} on talkpages, rather than make a long list of pages to be deleted. Suggestions? --Vituzzu (talk) 10:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

This has already been discussed (informally) before. We are not putting an additional {{delete}} to talkpages as it would mean having to delete two pages instead of one. Besides, we can easily track stuff in a centralised list. However though, it would be a good idea to put a little notice into the description (not label) saying that the page is scheduled for deletion. --Hydriz (talk) 12:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Yep, the deletion of two page (instead of one) was also my concern, anyway a notice about the incoming deletion is definitely useful. --Vituzzu (talk) 13:06, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Why is it a problem to delete 2 pages? Basvb (talk) 20:02, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

For one thing, we'd wind up deleting the deletion discussion itself if it was on the talk page. Always good to keep a visible paper trail. Sven Manguard (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

• Neutral I'd love to have some archiving for Wikidata:Contact the development team. If this is the right bot to do that I don't have an opinion on. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 08:44, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support - I would support the archiving of Wikidata:Contact the development team and Wikidata:Requests for deletions. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 21:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Could you please run a few test edits so that we can make sure that the bot works properly? Sven Manguard Wha? 05:42, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I got a bug fixed, so I have the bot running now.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  01:30, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

•  Support should have supported this request before --Bene* (talk) 07:37, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
•  Support--CENNOXX (talk) 13:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
•  Support Lukas²³ ^talk in German ^Contribs 14:00, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
•  Support Maybe you could also think about an additional feature: archive only sections that contain a special template. And some more documentation for User:Hazard-Bot/Archiver would be nice. Merlissimo (talk) 15:58, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

  There is link from that page that leads to User:Hazard-Bot/Archiving which contains more information.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  01:30, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

  Yes, would be nice if you could use {{Finished}} and we could add some more parameters to {{Archiving}} to enable automatic archivation --Bene* (talk) 16:01, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

  I'll look into the {{Archiving}} suggestion, but I believe a separate task would go for the {{Finished}} requirement.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  01:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
