::Thanks John, but that just went straight over my head ;) While you and Addshore may be creating bot frameworks that leverage the MediaWiki API, I'm still stumbling around here learning how to use an established framework, as an end-user.

You have been granted admin/'crat on BotWiki
Hi John, as per my original request, I have now granted you Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on BotWiki. I hope that the BotWiki will eventually become "the place to be" for anything to do with running bots on Orain wikis, whether on a local wiki or globally. AugurNZ ✐⌕ 01:01, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Opted-out of global bot wikis
Hi John, I just saw this new WikiSet and I'd like to make use of it. I already know how to respect the {{nobots}}
and the {{bots|deny=}}
imperatives, as Pywikipediabot is exclusion compliant "out of the box". I was wondering how I can integrate this new WikiSet you have created, in order to automatically respect the wishes of those admins who have requested to opt out of global bots using this WikiSet? I can do it manually, I guess, by checking the WikiSet before each bot run to ensure that there have been no changes to the membership list of wiki's that have opted out, but I'd like to have a more automated method if possible. Any ideas? AugurNZ ✐⌕ 05:49, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
