All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XX

[GethN7]

I don't think that's what Geth's asking, Rob.  I think the question is more like, do we want a central place where the purpose and intended changes of each bot run is logged, so we know what was intended and why.  Not a record of every individual change.

I think that would be a good idea, especially if the regex (or pseudocode) for each change is included in the log.  That way more than one set of eyes can look over what is to be/was done and catch any errors.

Exactly. That way we can avoid mass unauthorized changes that result in hassles like my little snafu.

Also, Index Index does not fully replicate Special:Categories.

The former is a list of mainspace-specific categories.

The latter include those relevant to the other namespaces as well.
