Hello !
While doing a very long job, my bot got blocked because I was not
online to stop it manually.
I never got blocked, and I thought that detecting a block would stop
any task, but it does not, it just goes on, trying to edit next pages
:
>> Rue Fontaine <<<
- {{Multi
bandeau|Portail cinéma|portail musique|Portail Paris |Portail Route}}
+ {{Multi bandeau|Portail cinéma réalisation|portail musique|Portail
Paris |Portail Route}}

I say the framework should stop after X consecutive page locks : Here,
the admin blocked the bot account for four hours, and then unblocked
it to see if the bot had stopped. And, as soon as the bot got
unblocked, it started editing again so he blocked the bot for a day.
