It's designed so if there if there is a issue with the bot (eg: it's malfunctioning etc) and causes issues the person whom is in control can easily be identified.
As such, The user-agent you chose should reflect that.

Hello, As discussions in pywikipedia-l people are not sure whether is necessary to add username of bot operator in user agent or not.
In user agent policy https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-agent_policy it's mentioned that people need to add contacting information, but it's not clear it's about contacting the tool-maker or tool-user.
Can you clarify it? Best -- Amir _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
