+Bot

I've run the pywikipedia bot framework under my username for clean-up tasks such as mass page deletions related to the Japanese wikibook. I'd like to have this bot account to be able to do mass cleanup tasks without cluttering recent changes. I'd like to think I'm fairly careful with my edits; requesting comments before performing edits that are a pain to revert (page moves, etc) and will continue to be careful should I get this tool.

The tasks I have currently in my sights are simple text replacements, {{Japanese related vocabulary}} to {{Japanese related|vocabulary}}, {{ruby}} to {{furi}}, and deprecating {{nav}} should it pass WB:VFD. --Swift (talk) 08:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

• Support OK by me, because I'm sure that if Swift's bot makes a mess, Swift will clean it up. But I don't think there will be a mess. --Jomegat (talk) 12:56, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
