Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Administrator/Pi admin bot
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Closed as successful. Note that the current projected use may result in losing adminship due to inactivity, as editing protected pages is usually not counted. Additional admin bot tasks may solve this. --Lymantria (talk) 18:14, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pi admin bot edit

I've been operating Pi bot since 2017, and it has made nearly 7 million edits on Wikidata so far. The latest task I've coded up, Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 25, is designed to maintain Wikidata:Properties for deletion - and to simultaneously update Template:Watchlist summary/PFD. Which was all looking good and working fine for semi-automated test edits under my (admin) account, until I realised the template is admin-protected. Asking how to handle this at the administrators noticeboard favoured setting up an admin bot (over reducing protection of the template) - hence this request. The admin account needs to be separate from Pi bot's normal account for safety reasons, and it will be run in a separate directory on the Raspberry Pi. My main concern with proposing this admin bot is that just updating an admin-protected page might not be sufficient justification for having an admin bot account, but I expect it will only be a matter of time before I'll request to add more admin bot tasks to this account. For additional background, please see my user page, and my RfP. Thanks. --Mike Peel (talk) 17:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
