Meta talk:Requests for bot status/RomaineBot

non-starter?

@Romaine: has this endeavor been abandoned? — xaosflux ^Talk 18:29, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Xaosflux, A WMF staff member indicated to me that they have decided to move the contents of Outreach Wiki to Meta Wiki. Having a limited trust in the expertise of the WMF staff involved regarding a proper migration of the contents + the need for a bot for the migrated newsletters, I requested a botflag. Some time later the same WMF individual claims the opposite: that a decision hasn't been made. This resulted in a loss of ground for the full scale operation. I then started a RfC to see if the community thinks the contents should be migrated. The outcome is that there is no wide support on this matter (when I looked at it 5 months ago), meaning there is also no solid ground for the migration via that route. However, the Education newsletter has been moved, partially I noticed in January. I have been ill from February to May, followed by a very busy period, resulting that I am a bit behind schedule to follow up on all the projects I am involved in. I hope next month to have a look into the situation and see if anything is needed to get fixed. Behind the scenes I still hear some steps are to be expected, but with unclear timeframe. All together I hope the situation can stay as it is for now. Romaine (talk) 02:48, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

@Romaine thanks for the note, was just cleaning up possible abandoned +bot flagged accounts. Best wishes, — xaosflux ^Talk 10:13, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
