Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/HaroldBot
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.
- Approved for task, but not for sysop rights. Separate approval must be requested at WD:RFA, as the consensus here does now warrant (and is insufficient for) passing a RfA. — Hazard-SJ ✈ 23:44, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Task/s: Blocks open proxies
Function details: It simply takes en:User:ProcseeBot's blocklist, and re-blocks those IPs on Wikidata. --Legoktm (talk) 07:20, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikidata has a serious spam problem ([1]), and automatically blocking open proxies will most certainly help with it. ProcseeBot is a well tested bot, having performed over 626620 blocks. You can see the "bot" in action by looking at my own block log, specifically those with "<!-- port XXXX -->" in them. Legoktm (talk) 07:20, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment are you going to ask admin permissions to this bot? --Stryn (talk) 07:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. Since we don't really have any standard for adminbots yet, I was just thinking of having this stay open for the normal duration and get it "approved" as a bot, then stick it through WD:RFA and see how that goes. Legoktm (talk) 07:37, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - Makes sense. Ajraddatz (Talk) 12:08, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support, just good. --Stryn (talk) 18:40, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
