[edit] Discussion

In what way is this a desired operation? —gorgan_almighty 11:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

See the bot request for this functionality. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 18:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd prefer 60 days instead of 30; smaller projects could easily go 30 days without edits but still have a few people watching the page for comments and such. —METS501 (talk) 03:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

That's easy enough. Updated. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 03:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

This looks good. Because the template is not very forceful, it just provides a little information to the idle user i see no problem. (But hey - i don't approve bots :P) :: maelgwn - talk 04:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

And what if the project page is a skeleton that does not need editing, while several pages it transcludes are edited quite often? MaxSem 06:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

The talk page should still be edited quite often. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 06:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Presumably it could be excluded if it was a problem :: maelgwn - talk 06:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Will you be {{nobots}} compliant? — xaosflux ^Talk 18:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. (As stated on the bot's userpage.) -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 18:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't SatyrBot do the same thing? I don't think that there's a need for this....GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 20:53, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Does it? If so, it's not listed on the bot's user page, and it's not approved by the BAG. — madman bum and angel 04:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits or 7 days). Should cover it...Reedy Boy 23:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Trial's done :) -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 04:06, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Approved. – all blocking issues have been corrected. — madman bum and angel 04:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
