Other tasks
This MarioWiki Bot, it could do other tasks, like deleting in-sufficient length New Stubs past the due date, and maybe automatically count scores for proposals and archive them. It may never happen, but it could be a suggestion?
- Yes, people used to welcome users theirselves, we could have users welcome new users and the bot doing other things... maybe it could even hand out warnings and ban users?M&L+No Moar Picklez=Wurld War III=[[Image:SMG YellowLuma.jpg|45px]]| 21:33, 7 February 2012 (EST)
- Ignoring the amount of time it would take to implement either, users are much more efficient than a bot in completing most wiki functions, especially if and when mistakes are made. Also, users welcoming new users isn't applicable because of the magnitude of new users who join on a daily basis. Mario4Ever (talk)
- Well, a lot of users could patrol and welcome new users immeadiately using
{{welcome|M&L}}or whatever their username is, right? Here's a coin, MarioWiki Bot!File:NSMBwii coin.jpgM&L+No Moar Picklez=Wurld War III=[[Image:SMG YellowLuma.jpg|45px]]| 21:48, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Sooo, you're a robot? -User:Bowserdude729
- Please don't talk to the bot. It exists only to put the welcome message on new users' talk pages. Mario4Ever (talk)
Upgrade this bot
Hey admins, I am wondering. Should you guys upgrade the bot to filter bad edits? Because they have it on wikipedia to prevent unconstructive edits. But Maybe We should just keep using the warning/reminder/ban system. So the answer is, yes or no? And if its a yes, when will the upgrade be applied?

- Bots can't discriminate between bad and good. We can add a filter in as to what we think a bad edit is, like any edit removing over 50,000 bytes, but that's not necessary and could mess up at times.

Thanks for letting me know. Wikipedia seems to either have advanced bots, or their filter isn't very reliable. I see that it is better keep using the ban system. Btw wikipedia has a vandalism filter even though they already have a ban system. ----Toolsotrade
