Request for Flooder flag

Hi! The flooder flag has been removed again due to user:TaxonBot "apparently no longer needs it" (log). In my opinion it makes not much sense. I will use the flooder flag because I am working on bot requests in dewiki, and such edit jobs on wikidata are to do repeatedly. Also as now, as I have to edit the logo links to Commons of all companies of German Wikipedia (P154), because they're should be needed in infoboxes in German Wikipedia directly from Wikidata. Please give me back the flooder flag. Thank you ... Doc Taxon (talk) 10:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Das Flooder flag wurde wieder entzogen mit der Begründung, dass user:TaxonBot es offensichtlich nicht länger brauche (laut Logbuch). In meinen Augen macht diese Vorgehensweise nicht viel Sinn. Ich brauche das Flooder flag immer wieder, weil ich auf dewiki Botanfragen bearbeite, wo immer wieder Einträge nach Wikidata angefragt werden. Wie hier, wo die Logo-Links nach Commons für Unternehmen in der deutschen Wikipedia eingetragen werden sollen (P154), damit sie in den Infoboxen für Unternehmen direkt von Wikidata bezogen werden können. Bitte gebt das Flooder flag zurück. Danke, Doc Taxon (talk) 10:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

You can request a permanent flooder flag/bot flag on WD:RFP/BOT.

Du kannst einen permamenten Flooder flag/Bot flag auf WD:RFP/BOT beantragen. --Pasleim (talk) 12:40, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, bots should operate using the bot flag.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:43, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

@Ymblanter, Pasleim: TaxonBot used the bot flag at last flooding. Please give me the flooder flag first. Bot flag lasts too long now, I'll request for it later. Doc Taxon (talk) 23:26, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done. Indeed, I see it was flagged as flooder twice.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:52, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

The flooder flag has been granted for a different purpose. This is out of scope. In my opinion, it should be removed again and a proper bot flag be requested. --Vogone (talk) 21:45, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I removed the flag since the task is no longer running anyway. Asking a bot flag would be a good solution.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:57, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: See Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/TaxonBot. Please give me a flooder flag up to the bot flag is set by this request because I have to change the properties of reference values that has been archived to internet archives. It's lagging to wait now because other users have to work with inbound wikidata values. Thank you for your cooperation. Doc Taxon (talk) 00:59, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

We usually wait for several days, and I will grant the flag then provided there have been no objections.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Request for flodder flag

Hello, I need a Flood Flag for using Pasleims Harvest Template (see my disk and contribs). Queryzo (talk) 21:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

@Queryzo:, would you please explain the nature of changes you are planning to make, it is not clear from your contribution.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:59, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

I do imports from Infoboxes, birth places, movie crew members but also different things like category-crawling. Over night I can do ca. 10.000 edits so that I flood recent changes by doing this. In the last weeks I did nearby half a million edits. Queryzo (talk) 18:37, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

I am not really happy to grant a flooder flag permanently. What do others think, what is the best way to solve the situation?--Ymblanter (talk) 08:39, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: I also am working together with my colleague user:Queryzo. He is working with infoboxes, too, to get data from wikidata into dewiki movie infoboxes. Give him the flooder flag, it's okay, or better a bot flag. Something of this task equals to the functions stated in my actual bot request. We want combine wikidata values into dewiki templates more and more, so we are looking for a closer interaction. Thank you, Doc Taxon (talk) 05:03, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Request for Flood flag

Hi, as you can see from my contributions, I have been adding "unincorporated community in x county, xstate" or "township in x county, xstate" in the description of pages. I was hoping to use the flood flag, since there is no need to overwhelm recent changes. This shouldn't be long before I finish with all of them. MechQuester (talk) 13:58, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done, please remove the flag once the task has been completed.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:30, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
