Sounds good. Approved for trial (50 edits). Come back and report when you have done 50 edits using the bot. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 02:52, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your consideration. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 02:59, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

The trial seems complete: I've made circa fifty edits with the bot now. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 14:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

That seems alright. How often does the bot operate? I'm asking this because I observed that it only operates on a sporadic basis. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:07, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

The bot checks the links on Special:DoubleRedirects to work, so it only runs whenever that special page gets updated from its cache, which mainly takes from four to seven days or so. It would ideally usually run whenever there any links to be found on the special page, since that's the only way it could function. You can see right now that the last update was April 1, and it currently does not contain any links, so it won't run until the next update, which is probably April 5 or something. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 22:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
