- The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a closed Meta-Wiki request. Please do not modify it.
I would like to request a bot flag for my bot Kwjbot. This bot will welcome newbies and write welcome log on Meta:Welcome log.(require {{WLE}}) This bot is based on Pywikipediabot.--Kwj2772 13:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose all kinds of robotic welcomes. This is completely unnecessary, and newbies will really react more positively at welcomes issued by humans. Also, there is a problem with vandals being welcomed. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 13:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - Per MaxSem, and probably Meta doesn't really need bots to welcome users, its not that active and users that contribute get welcomed by a couple of users anyway...--Cometstyles 13:15, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose It would have been better to discuss this idea first. Bot welcomes are a bad idea on this wiki. Better for Commons I think where the rules are tougher. Majorly talk 13:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose per above. Alex Pereira falaê 13:47, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Closed: The Meta community does not want a bot to welcome new users. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 14:07, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
