curprev 23:3823:38, 13 August 2024 Anomie talk contribs 36,958 bytes −1,864‎ →Mass page creation: Move to WP:Editing policy#Mass page creation per WT:BOTPOL#RFC: Sever WP:MASSCREATE from WP:BOTPOL.

curprev 13:2913:29, 7 July 2024 Anomie talk contribs 38,822 bytes −33‎ Undid revision 1233128103 by Joe Roe (talk) - Still being discussed, you have at least two opposes and a counterproposal. The span is for not breaking existing incoming links, you'd need an additional span for the current title if we do change the heading. Tag: Undo
curprev 12:0512:05, 7 July 2024 Joe Roe talk contribs 38,855 bytes +33‎ →Automated, semi-automated or bot-like page creation: compromise per talk. I'm not sure what the span anchor is for? Tag: Reverted
curprev 09:0309:03, 7 July 2024 BilledMammal talk contribs 38,822 bytes −28‎ Undid revision 1233105998 by Joe Roe (talk) Not clear that it is - for example, "all mass-created articles". Although, I'm not certain that it is possible to mass create articles without some level of automation - at the very least, boilerplate text. Tag: Undo
curprev 08:4508:45, 7 July 2024 Joe Roe talk contribs 38,850 bytes +28‎ →Mass automated or semi-automated page creation: Retitled to reflect the scope of the guideline. Although this should be implicit from the fact that it is part of the bot policy, a lot of people just reach this section from the shortcut. Tag: Reverted

curprev 06:4706:47, 13 June 2024 Félix An talk contribs 38,822 bytes +38‎ →See also: large language model policy

curprev 22:1022:10, 3 March 2024 Novem Linguae talk contribs 38,784 bytes −3‎ Undid revision 1211657135 by Sohom Datta (talk) - adds a new requirement to a policy, we should probably discuss this on talk page first Tag: Undo
curprev 18:4318:43, 3 March 2024 Sohom Datta talk contribs 38,787 bytes +3‎ →Performance: may --> should => Disobeying the replication lag constraints should not be option we should encourage. BRD if you disagree. Tag: Reverted

curprev 20:0020:00, 29 February 2024 ProcrastinatingReader talk contribs 38,784 bytes −11‎ →Performance: previous content of the policy more generally mentioned "approval". In line with almost everything else here, I don't think we should prescribe the specific form of approval a request needs. In practice, it's usually just been sorted out at BON following community discussion and a BAG's conclusion

curprev 18:0318:03, 17 February 2024 Reaper Eternal talk contribs 38,795 bytes −27‎ →Performance: Boldly updating to modern norms. Remove the whole bit about "urgent" bots. Everything kind of got superseded by the general guideline of ~20 EPM. Are there even "urgent" bots anymore? I don't seen any consensus for 40 EPM anywhere.
curprev 16:5716:57, 17 February 2024 S Marshall talk contribs 38,822 bytes −4‎ Update per Primefac at Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard

curprev 02:3202:32, 15 January 2024 Galobtter talk contribs 38,826 bytes −207‎ →Performance: I don't think anyone does this, people should just use maxlag, so boldly remove Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

curprev 00:4300:43, 13 January 2024 SMcCandlish talk contribs 39,033 bytes +132‎ →Bot-like editing: Cross-reference as outlined on the talk page. The issue is that people arrive at this section via shortcut, and the section title strongly implies that the only material here that pertains to human editors is in this section, which is not the case.

curprev 18:1918:19, 19 December 2023 SMcCandlish talk contribs m 38,916 bytes +3‎ →Cosmetic changes: emphasis tweak
curprev 18:1818:18, 19 December 2023 SMcCandlish talk contribs 38,913 bytes +43‎ →Cosmetic changes: Make that vastly clearer; it's not about whitespace in general but blank lines only, and its not about the list type or orientation, but about the list being done with *, #, or ; and : wikicode. Link cleanup.

curprev 22:2122:21, 30 October 2023 Galobtter talk contribs 38,870 bytes −374‎ Undid revision 1182706338 by Awesome Aasim (talk) we don't need to include every possible bot that isn't allowed per WP:CREEP, if someone tries to write a bot to do this it will never make it through approval Tag: Undo
