Umm
Please do testing in sandbox areas (create special sandboxes if you have to). Isn't this bot supposed to only be tagging images BTW? -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 16:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't actually testing, I'd already run tests on MayPedia. I just forgot to edit the summary >_< &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 16:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

You are dropping the pipes. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 18:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There were 3 options on the template, and I just chose the top one. If you want me to use a specific one, point it out to me? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * . The whole point of the template was to preserve the presentation (while warning about link being deleted). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit throttle
Please set your throttle to 10 seconds between edits, which should only allow 6 edits per minute. I'm seeing 7-8 edits per minute on your contributions. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 19:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I had it on 6 edits/minute to make up for my crappy ISP. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

what task
Your edit summery claims that you are working as per bot tasks. There is nothing on bot tasks about redoing such links. If you continue to work without posting on the bot task page first, i will assume its unauthorized and I'll have to stop your bot. 130.245.23.139 19:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Jedi, I take it? I'm doing the bot redlinks removal, because Ishmael wasn't. Read into the matter before running in all guns blazing. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Read about it where? If its not a clearly marked bot task on that page, then where is it? The point of the page is to list ALL bot tasks so that we know what the bots are doing. 130.245.23.139 19:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am doing the "build redlinks rewrite", what you're doing would be "build categories removal", it's not the same thing. You do have permission to do that; Jedi is only asking you to add it to the list of tasks.  Also please note what tool you are using to run this bot (AWB, I'm assuming). &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 19:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And you don't add it the list and then immediately start either. You add it, make sure no one else sees any problem with the task, and then start after its approved by people. And it sounds like you were already making mistakes with the bot. 130.245.23.139 19:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * See previous comment, don't do it again. Official warning, etc. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Bot pages left over
Two weeks ago, MayBot created hundreds of pages (presumably while testing) in your userspace. What are you planning to do about them? mendel 00:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
