SQLBot

I recently got an e-mail to apply a bot flag to SQLBot. I was wondering if you would still like the flag (it hasn't been active for a couple weeks), and where the request for the bot flag took place. Was it originally on the Scriptorium? I just want to see what initial reception to the bot was before I decide to add the flag or not. Thanks, and I'm so sorry for the long delay.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 19:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I suppose it's been a couple / many months now. I'll ask again if I find another task. SQL^{Query me!} 12:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

"...This is where all my time goes..."

So true! :-(  ;-)

This is a really nice tools; with it I can easily see that my bot has almost caught up to me in number of patrols[1].

This is a bit odd:

Edits (including deleted edits): 1398
Edits: 1465

How can it be that the inclusive figure is lower than the second, which gives the appearance of being less inclusive ? John Vandenberg ^(chat) 04:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not honestly sure, that happens on enwiki too sometimes. How it does it, is that it queries user_editcount from the user table, to get the deleted edits + edits count, then, counts everything with your userid in the revision table. Dunno why edits would be higher... SQL^{Query me!} 04:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The only thing I can think of are manual table drops or lotsa oversight action.... SQL^{Query me!} 04:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
