TestWiki:Bot approval requests: Difference between revisions

:{{ping|Naleksuh}} You were right to make a new [[TestWiki:Bots|bot]] request as I think the original approval only covered the [[Sandbox]] and possibly other community sandboxes as may be created as well. Looking over your request, it's not clear to me ''how'' this bot would operate and to what revision(s) it would clear any testing? Moreover, changes, even small changes, can be made to the testing pages and so reversion to a set, earlier revision would be undesirable in this case. Without knowing (a) the specifics and (b) how your bot would take into account changes to the testing pages, so that it doesn't revert to an earlier revision, I can't really offer further comment. Can you provide further details on the specific operating parameters and specifications and also how it would take into account [[w:WP:AGF|good-faith]] changes to the testing pages? Then there's also the philosophical question of ''necessity''. '''Public Test Wiki''' is, absolutely, a place to test the tools, but it also provides a testing environment for ''human'' [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrators]] to interact with other editors or perform general mopping left behind by other editors. Often this doesn't require them to interact with other administrators, but it does give them exposure to monitoring [[Special:RecentChanges]] and [[Special:NewPages]], among other places, and performing such cleanup. So, those are the comments I have at this point. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 22:09, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
