627: 48: 502:. The bot is performing its task appropriately by saying "Hey, something big changed — someone should check that this is kosher and tell me to go ahead" rather than charging ahead and making thousands and thousands of edits because one editor changed some templates. I don't think this BRfA is necessary at all. Folks should review the changes made to the templates — especially since they were done in bulk — then add them to the force page if desired. ~ 291:. There are a number of templates currently with more than 100 transclusions and not listed there. I would, using AWB, simply substitute the templates that AnomieBOT won't do automatically, to avoid editors needing to add it to the force list each time. (I have AnomieBOT's page on my watchlist, so this would be run as needed when I see it post about needing help) 493:
cope with these pages. The 100x limit isn't because the bot can't handle such things, it's to prevent disruption and mass-editing of something because someone disrupted a template. The links on that talk page are a good example — nearly all were just recently rewritten and added to
470:
substitute templates with more than 100 transclusions unless explicitly told. In such cases, I could manually determine that the templates should be substituted, and then do so - I can already do this with AWB, but I just don't want to push the save button so many times :)
495: 228: 682: 236: 394:, this wouldn't duplicate the work of AnomieBOT, but rather assist it - I would manually run this on templates that AnomieBOT can't cope with, on an as-needed basis -- 641:'s last question, nothing has been done wrong, just that it might have been a little unnecessary to manually make 500+ edits when the bot can handle it. 575:) it looks like you made about 100 of these edits, filed this BRfA to handle such edits, and then proceeded to make about 500 more of them anyway. ~ 339: 554:
It's not a matter of coping or not, as it can clearly perform the task you are wanting your bot to do. That's the basic definition of duplication.

What's the point of duplicating the work of AnomieBOT when the templates could just be added to its subpage and handled that way?
117: 140: 102: 287:
Currently, AnomieBOT won't substitute templates with more than 100 transclusions unless the specific template is listed at

Yes, but that would both require other editors to help me and potentially clutter up the list of templates. --
