Hello all. As you probably know, I've been using a bot for a while now, and a lot more than I've expected to use it, because of Project:Articles to Move and Forum:Tags on pages. As a result, Recent Changes often becomes unusual for people trying to read minor edits. Luckily, there's a way around this: bot flags hide bots from RC unless specifically enabled. However, you can't just ask your friendly neighborhood admin for a bot flag. Quoting Help:Bots: So that's what this thread is about. Hypothetically we could also rename the bot to something like "FFWikiBot", or keep with the tradition of naming bots after monsters (first MasterTonberry FFVII, then SacredMinotaur from FFVIII, now... something from FFIX) in the event that somebody else wants to use it. | |||
Oh! Oh! Oh! Name it FriendlyYan! | |||
I don't see it as essential to flag it as a bot, but it would probably be more professional to officially designate its edits as bot work. | |||
I vote for Whale Zombie :) | |||
May I suggest "GuardianMog" for the bot's name? I know it's not exactly a creature by means of being an enemy but the "Guardian" part of the name kinda applies to a bot I think as it 'guards' a Wiki to be well-maintenained. It's a purpose of a bot, right? Is there an article you think is of an exceptional quality? Vote for it here! | |||
Al-Cid? Apparently does stuff behind the scenes but you never see it do anything. 79.69.197.29 19:07, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
Intangir. It stays invisible unless you decide to bother it. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 07:17, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
I'm a proponent for having it flagged, though for no specific reason. As for a name, I have no idea, though I beg nothing too cutesy. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 21:11, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I sent in a request. Personally, I like Al-Cid as potential names, but since I got a lot more name suggestions than I expected, I'll just put it to a vote. Feel free to add more names below if you so wish. | |||
Intangir's cool and all, but Bell'Addormentato
If it's not too late to suggest names - "Mechactuar", "ChocRobo", "Artimeticron" (yes I like lame puns ;p).

- I'd prefer Bell'Addormentato. But this would do. JBed (talk) 20:55, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
