446:. I did not set up the bot for full automation yet, I am still previewing and hitting the "run" button myself. By doing that I caught and fixed some things that would have been issues with this particular topic. The list of articles is normally wikilinks, but in this case it was templates. The bot correctly detected that it couldn't handle this, but I had not written the code for it to write error messages to the archive1 page yet, so I wrote that, then I hit the run button.

Under normal circumstances, I would prefer to leave the close for someone else. However, given the backlog, lack of recent BAG activity (myself included), and the fact that this task is uncontroversial and based on how well the trial went, I am inclined to make an exception for this. As per usual, if

Sorry for the delay. We had a month or two with no FGTC promotions. I got a promotion this week that I will use to continue the trial. My game plan is 1) code SD0001's feedback (for security, only respond to pings from users on a whitelist), 2) set up fully automated on
Toolforge, 3) promote 2 topics
473:
Anyway, I am super busy with work, and I have not gotten a chance to write the requested whitelist yet. My suggestion would be a 2 month extension of the trial, to give my work time to calm down, to give me time to write and test the whitelist, to give me time to set up the bot to be fully automated,

There were some bugs that I patched. The bot pings me every time it runs so I am keeping an eye on it and patching bugs as needed. This ended up being a complex bot task. I have 91 unit tests and I am still encountering bugs. Not sure if you want to mark it approved or extend the trial. Either way I

As a delegate at FGTC, I just wanted to echo some of the above. I've been supervising and assisting Novem as they created this spectacular bot and the test runs have already made massive improvements in the FGTC process (which is otherwise extremely slow due to the mass manual updating required).
293:
Testing - I've done some semi automated testing (where the bot suggests changes via a webpage, then I copy paste that into
Knowledge (XXG), hit preview and diff, look it over, then submit). This process identified and fixed some bugs. I think the bot has reached a state where all major bugs are
744:
Long story. Basically the info the bot was given was wrong, so I had to do a bunch of cleanup. But the bot functioned correctly with the input it was given. It was human error and not the bot's fault because the page name was wrong, and one of the article types was incorrectly specified as

Given the large number of edits needed to implement each promotion, I think it would make sense to add some anti-abuse measure restricting usage to only trusted users, though I don't think the potential for disruption is high to block even a trial. Since it appears the bot gets pinged
546:
Sorry about the delayed response. I haven't had a chance to review this, but in the meantime, feel free to continue the trial if there are more promoted topics to process. (If any other BAG member more familiar with FGTC wants to review this, that would be welcome.) –
443:
620:
Sounds good. How long do you figure this might take? We can put this on hold if desired. Pinging is indeed important (thank you) as this will fall off my watchlist in 30 days or otherwise probably slip through the cracks without it.
317:
Keep in mind that topics are variable in size. To promote each one is around 15-50 edits. For a trial, may make sense to approve a period of time or a certain # of topics, rather than a certain # of edits.

Security features to prevent abuse include the bot not editing unless the featured topic template is located on the summoning page, and some maximum article and maximum topics in category throttles.

This one glitched due to |title=''808s & Heartbreak''. The bot failed to remove the wikicode apostrophes. The result was failing to create 4 pages it was supposed to, getting a parameter of the
