Thread:Talk:Flow/Auto-archiving/reply (14)

On the contrary, bots are, by the large, just fine, and some projects at least (Commons and enwp come to mind, mostly because they're the only ones I really use) would be kind of horribly massively screwed without them. Like... they wouldn't function. At all. Now sometimes bots do mess up, but that's what overrides are for, and no viable system would be without the ability to override the automatic or specify different archival periods/rates for different pages. MediaWiki is all about overrides; the key is to figure out which overrides are actually practical without overwhelming the users and all that jazz.

Flow is not going to be LQT. It may share some features in common, but there are many more mistakes to be learned from and avoided.
