Hi folks,
sometimes I found sth. like {{nobots|Xqbot}} which is similar to {{bots|deny=Xqbot}}. Maybe it should be implemented (I've done it for my working copy).
An other idea I've tested on my working copy is {{nobots|<scriptname>}} which could prevent running some scripts on a given page like interwiki but enables other bot scripts working.
Greetings xqt

Hello Morten,
The nobots-feature was designed by enwiki originally, so if their documentation states it should be {{bots|allow=...}} and the pywikipedia code does this - I think it's the way it should be ;-).
However, it might be an idea to check how many people are using the {{nobots|allow=}} syntax. If this is a common error, we might want to consider updating the code (and enwiki docs!) to make this work.
Best, Merlijn

Hi,
I've noticed botMayEdit() doesn't check for a whitelist if the template used is {{nobots}}, instead it always returns False. Is that a bug or a feature? From reading the documentation on en:Template:Bots, it seems
that
{{nobots|allow=FooBot}} isn't actually a supported way of using the
template
(instead it should be {{bots|allow=FooBot}}) so pywikibot is doing it
right.
Still, I just wanted to check before I go fiddling with the template on somebody's talk page (again) :)
Cheers, Morten
