Discussion

For "if they were not notified" what is your criteria to determine if that happened? — xaosflux ^Talk 01:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The same as task 6; the bot looks at revisions to the uploader's talk page made in the past 24 hours. -FASTILY 02:26, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (40 edits or 10 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:42, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} Was the trial completed? — xaosflux ^Talk 05:09, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have not had time to write the bot yet, but hopefully I will by the end of the week -FASTILY 23:20, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. [1] (see edits with summary "BOT: Notify user of FfD"); everything worked as expected. -FASTILY 04:16, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should the bot follow user talk page redirects? This edit did not. User are likely to have been notified at the redirect target, not the redirect. — JJMC89 (T·C) 04:52, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That edit appears to have been made by a previous build of the bot; the user has since been properly notified -FASTILY 08:01, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Task approved. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:10, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
