--- Comment #5 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- It is now bot policy on en.wikipedia that bots which are known to edit while logged out should have an assert edit, or a function which does the same thing, added to them. As to the time issue, this is simply however often it is required to make sure that the bot doesn't edit while logged out. Which is probably every edit for bots which have a history of logging themselves out.
