[edit]I know my bot has caused some errors (e.g. : [1]): it is because in a first time he worked with the "-hint" option that I've turned off since then...
- Do you understand the restrictions on interwiki linking bots? To make it clear, will you be editing in the template namespace, and will you be running with force off (presuming you're running in auto). Also, just as a note, you shouldn't have been editing with this bot prior to approval, please make sure the bot stops editing until it is approved at this page.

- Yes, I've read and understood the restrictions on interwiki linking bots. Unless due to an error, my bot won't edit in the template namespace. The force mode is off. I've forgotten clarify that my bot won't do cosmetic changes too. Sorry for bot's edits before : I've stopped his activity... --Toto Azéro [0+0] 07:51, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Seems you know what to do. Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Tim1357 (talk) 23:03, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
