Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Avicennasis (avicennasis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: -enable arg to all scripts
Initial Comment: It would be handy to have an optional -enable "Checkpage" option built into scripts by default - so that a bot can deactivated by non-admins, if so needed.

Message: This behavior is not the same as blocking a bot by admins; it only prohibits the next start of the bot. So I am not sure if this is what you want to.

Message: That doesn't tell me anything about what it should do. What is 'checkpage'? What should the bot do with it? When? What should it do in which case?

Message: A simple boolean value - if the arg is used, read checkpage - if 'true', continue script - if false, stop and exit script.
I know some of the scripts have a "enablePage" - but a lot of them don't.

Message: What is the behaviour you would want/expect when 'Checkpage' is enabled?
