User talk:Whobot

If you are reading this page because you found a category tagged for deletion (e.g. with {{cfd}} or {{cfr}}) or an article was recently moved to a new category by this bot, please be aware that it is only doing so in a conjunction with a nomination which has been posted to Wikipedia:Categories for deletion by a human. It may be difficult to find the nomination page, because it is very long and very active, but it should be there somewhere. Be aware that it may be part of an "umbrella" nomination (and thus your specific category might not be listed) or have been moved to a subpage (which is done when discussion are resolved.) See the section Discussions moved off-page and Archived debates. Feel free to leave a note here or on Wikipedia talk:Categories for deletion if you still can't find the original nomination.

Whobot is a bot owned and operated by User:Who. This is the right place to post complaints and compliments about the bot, though you may want to mention on User talk:Who that you posted here, to more quickly get the owner's attention.

Regarding this edit.. if this user is a bot as the name suggests, then something seems to be broken, otherwise: Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Mysidia (talk) 00:33, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I appologize for that. I was attempting to change the bot code not to use the {{Interwiki-category-check}} for now. I ran it on the one article to make sure it wouldn't mess up, as such I immediately fixed the article and the error. Thanks. ∞Who ?¿? 01:02, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a huge deal, but in at least one instance (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=U.S._Cellular&diff=prev&oldid=24049529), Whobot has moved a stub tag under the list of categories. I may be mistaken, but I had thought that we did things the other way around. NatusRoma 04:05, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, the idea is that when showing the categories, the stub cat is listed after the encyclopedic cats. It is really personal preference, but this is the way that I do it along with Pearle (the bot Whobot is cloned from). ∞Who ?¿? 04:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

==Who's RfA== Thank you for supporting my masters RfA. He appreciates your support and comments and looks forward to better serving Wikipedia the best he can. Of course I will be doing all of the real work. He would have responded to you directly, but he is currently out of town, and wanted to thank you asap. Thanks again. --Who's mop?¿? 20:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
