All,
If you check recent changes, I was a bit *too *'bold' on the UK wiki tonight - testing out AWB to see if it'll be of use in correcting mispellings, tagging uncategorised pages, keeping track of board actions etc. Unfortunately, I edited some historical pages too without realising, so I've rolled back all my edits. The test was promising, at least - although the 'recent changes' page has an extra hundred or so edits on it!
Thanks for participating in my grand experiment!
Sorry once again,

Have we also learned an important lesson about the importance of bot flags?

Does it count as semi-automated if the controller isn't paying attention to what they're doing?
