Have added your wiki to my "Sister Wikis" front page section, was wondering if you would want admin rights on my wiki
Since you agreed to interlinking and cooperation between our wikis, I was wondering if you would like administrator rights on my wiki. I have already added a tab for your wiki on my front page, and since I may need your services with bots and believe you would be an asset to my wiki, I'd like to extend administrator rights to you.

Also, I'm somewhat familar with AutoWikiBrowser, don't have much experience with PyWikipediabot or other bot scripts and programs, and hopefully I might be able to learn more via your wiki :) Arcane (talk) 01:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * Thanks for that, I've now added MediaWikiTesters to the Main page of the BotWiki, and I've requested the Tabber extension which you've used on your Main page. I won't accept your very kind offer of admin rights on MediaWikiTesters for now, if that's okay, but I may come back to that later if you don't mind.


 * Other than the Orain global stewards, I am going to be offering admin rights on the BotWiki to anyone who has (verifiably) run a bot on any wiki in the Orain wiki farm. This would include anyone who has successfully undergone some sort of BRfA procedure on a wiki and made edits with their bot account. I haven't started writing policies for the BotWiki yet, but this will essentially be one of them. AugurNZ (talk) 17:57, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
 * I understand regarding my offer, thanks for your reply on that, and whenever you wish to reconsider, please let me know. As for running a bot, I was planning to set up a bot account (with AutoWikiBrowser) on my wiki, and when that happens, I'll be sure to inform you. As for the Tabber extension, glad you find it useful like I do, but whenever you use it, try not to make tab titles too long, as even though it will work properly, the tabs will look slightly ugly. The amount of content inside the tab can be as much as you like, but if you want to have multiple tabs, I recommend keeping the titles of each tab fairly short.

 * Thanks for the advice on Tabber. I look forward to seeing what you get up to with AWB. I haven't used it before, and I'm unlikely to, as I don't run Windows and I try to avoid WINE wherever possible. PWB seems to be the preferred wikibot platform for those of us who use Linux. I will be experimenting in the future with other bot platforms, but it would be great to have some contribution on the BotWiki from someone like yourself who uses AWB.

 * You're welcome. As for AWB, sure, I'd be happy to add some information on it, though I'll wait until I've actually got a bot account set up to do that. By that time, I'll see how AWB works on Orain and will be able to give a performance review on it as well (AWB's performance seems to vary on some wikis that aren't WMF projects).

Some pages you might want to add to your watchlist
I tend to update my MediaWiki Gadgets and MediaWiki User Scripts pages every so often, so if you need anything gadget or script related, putting these pages on your watchlist might be a good idea, since I update them fairly frequently.

Also, the scripts and gadgets listed on those pages have been confirmed to work on Orain, and some of them have been edited to fix incompatibility issues with Orain, so if a script or gadget is malfunctioning, let me know, and I'll look into it. I'm also always on the look out for new user scripts and gadgets to add, so if you see anything, let me know, especially if you'd like me to test it for you first. :)

Also, for some reason, the latest version of AWB is going haywire, and until they fix the issues, I'm afraid I won't be able to submit information on that anytime soon, will get back to you on that once I have confirmed it's working again.
