[edit] User:RileyBot for bot status

  • Vote started: 23:24, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Support

  1. Symbol support vote.svg Support. The bot has been doing a great and, in my opinion, important job. — Ungoliant (Falai) 15:46, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
  2. Symbol support vote.svg Support —Stephen (Talk) 17:45, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Oppose

  1. Symbol oppose vote.svg I don't see the point. Neither is edited very often. Moreover, even if they are at some point in the future (and we can write a bot then if we wish so certainly don't need one now), we can let them be unemptied: why would we need to empty them periodically?​—msh210 (talk) 07:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    Well there are several reasons but the main point is; if you were a new user: would you like to be directed to a blank page or a page full of junk? Or: Would you like to be told to go edit at a sandbox but since the header is missing which includes the link to "How to edit a page", you don't know how to edit? Either way, this is a simple task that doesn't require a lot of edits. No harm in my mind. :) -Riley Huntley (SWMT) 06:45, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
  2. Every hour is much too frequent. I would support it running once per day. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:47, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    Once per day is not frequent enough, it almost ruins the purpose. How about every 2 hours or 3? Maybe even 6? -Riley Huntley (SWMT) 19:26, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Abstain
