329:. ReferenceBot notifies editors when they make a change to an article that adds that article to a reference error category. In general, this means that the editor introduced a reference syntax error to the article. Here's the summary of the original request: "Daily, check the categories, Pages with broken reference names, Pages with incorrect ref formatting and Pages with missing references list, for new pages, and messages the user that placed it there, asking them to fix it." This BRfA expands the number of categories in which this bot operates. To be specific, these categories will be added:

The reason that the above categories have been chosen is that all of the article errors in those categories have been fixed (Pages with citations using unnamed parameters gets about 10-15 new articles a day and hasn't been cleaned out in about a month, in anticipation of this bot becoming active). Because the categories have been cleaned out for a while, we know that reversions of recent edits will not cause an article to be added to one of those categories. This will reduce the likelihood that a reverting editor will be blamed for adding erroneous citation syntax to an article.

This BRfA is asking for permission to add more reference error categories to the bot's scope. It will notify editors, for example, if a change they make to an article results in that article being added to
