[edit]
Since adding {{overlinked}} isn't part of AWB's general fixes, what logic will you be using to determine when to add it? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 03:09, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
GoingBatty, Oh, sorry. I thought that AWB had it. If not, no it won't. Addshore, I don't really know. I have to press start manually and it will only be doing the latest 500 pages, in the norder of the newedst first. -(t) Josve05a (c) 20:22, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think this is a good idea :/ Firstly you will be template bombing as said above, you will also likely tag many pages that will be deleted shortly after. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 22:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Addshore on this; template bombing, may be unnecessary edits to pages to be deleted soon, anyhow; plus, the operator does not express an understanding of not template bombing within a short time of creation and interfering with good articles being created. -68.107.137.178 (talk) 19:02, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to deny this task. While you can new page patrol using scripts, I'm not sure this is the right use of an automated or semi-automated bot task. MBisanz talk 22:06, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I find myself inclined to oppose this with no offense intended, of course, to the operator. I just don't think automated template-bombing of articles accomplishes anything but a larger backlog, which is already nice and plump to begin with. Perhaps time and resources would be better invested in addressing the issues (linking from other articles, etc.) in a non-bot fashion instead of mass-tagging?

  • I agree with the other editors here, and, with no offense to the operator, oppose this. Tagbombing is not a good thing, and, as others said, you'll be tagging a lot of pages that will be deleted soon after. It's a Fox! (What did I break) 16:31, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Denied. I have declined this as I do not feel the task specified (using new pages) has the support of the community. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 19:49, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
