CorenSearchBot has not been operational for several months since Yahoo stopped allowing automated queries. Bing's terms of use don't permit this either and apparently the same is true for Google. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CorenSearchBot I do like the idea of a place to request bots for projects other than en.wiki (not *global* bots, but bots running locally by request). Things like the unsigned bot. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Desired_bots _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
