Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/InterstateBot

+Bot
I plan to run a interwiki bot. I have three bots. I will also gladly perform trial runs. — I-20 the highway  02:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I ran it on a few pages now. — I-20 the highway  02:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As noted below, interwiki bots have had a hard time getting approved in the past. The winds could change, however.  Consensus must be shown before the flag can be granted, due to the potential for damage that goes unseen in recent changes.  Since you have experience with bots, maybe you could look at some that fulfill needs at Desired bots. – Adrignola talk 03:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Many books on the same topic can coexist and English Wikibooks has never really had a clear policy on when interwiki links should and shouldn't be used. I believe this is a task that needs human interaction to accurately judge when to add and remove interwiki links. Interwiki bots cannot accurately tell if two books have similarly intended scopes and reading orders to give an example of when interwiki links might be used. --dark lama  06:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The nom withdraws. Until a policy on iwikis is made. — I-20 the highway  13:28, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

+Reviewer
Anti-vandalism bot, needs rollback (and thus reviewer). — I-20 the highway  01:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Umm... Frankly, I'd be scared to unleash a bot with rollback and reviewer capability. Could do an awful lot of damage in a very short time, and without significant oversight. Chazz (talk) 02:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I can stop it and babysit the bot. — I-20 the highway  03:06, 8 September 2010 (UTC) (via iPod)
