Hello, As K. Peachey said, the aim is for Wikimedia operators to be able to identify the user running the bot. The bot framework might be useful. A suitable user agent could be: HasharBot (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hashar; hashar at free fr) We most probably already have the username in our logs, doesn't harm to repeat it in the user-agent. IRC nickname and email would be nice additions and probably save time. cheers, -- Antoine "hashar" Musso _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
