You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for running a bot without getting permission at WP:BRFA.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request through the unblock wizard or through your talk page . Izno (talk) 22:38, 5 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I would like to request reconsideration of this block. The account was being used for a limited trial of anti-vandalism functionality and made approximately 12 edits in total. All edits were performed under supervision and were intended as testing rather than large-scale autonomous operation.

Before running the trial, I read the section of the bot policy stating that "Operators may carry out limited testing of bot processes without approval, provided that test edits are very low in number and frequency". I mistakenly relied on that part and did not fully read the rest of the sentence stating that such testing should be restricted to test pages such as the sandbox.

As a result, I incorrectly believed that a small number of supervised live edits would be permissible as a trial before submitting a BRFA. I understand now that this interpretation was incorrect. There was no intention to bypass the approval process, and I apologize for the misunderstanding.

If unblocked, I will not operate the bot again until the appropriate BRFA process has been completed and any required approvals have been obtained.

Thank you for your consideration.

As you say you won't run the bot again without approval, and seem to understand why this was a problem, I will remove the block. Courtesy ping to Izno. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 6 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
