You are not getting approved for 20 edits per minute. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 15:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

And why can't we just put a parserfunction in {{tl|main}} to detect namespace and act accordingly? --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 15:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

: Yes, it's a good solution, redirect {{tl|catmore}} to {{tl|main}} and choose per namespace. --Emijrp 15:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

::But there are {{tl|catmore1}} and {{tl|catmore2}}, perhaps people prefer to conservate {{tl|catmore}} like now. --Emijrp 15:24, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

:::I would agree with Emijrp that we should change it, and I would also have no problem approving 20 edits per minute for such a task which has basically no potential of going awry. I'll wait to see if someone else wants to comment first though so I don't seem like I'm acting against consensus. —METS501 (talk) 17:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

:Seems straightforward, though I see no exceptional urgency that would argue for any an edit rate outwith the normal range. (OTOH, perhaps said range should be recast in terms of maxlag-compliance, or the like, but that's a broader discussion.) Alai 02:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

And... approved or no? --Emijrp 10:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

{{tl|BAGAssistanceNeeded}} Approved or no? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 02:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:I think the only thing, is still the slightly too high edit rate...? 5-6 epm would seem fair Reedy Boy 10:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
