User talk:Whobot
 | This user account is a bot operated by Who (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. The bot is currently inactive but retains the approval of the community. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
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.

Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
