Does the bot do any thing to minicomic links? Those are currently incompatible with clink. I also suggest adding in redirects from "futurama topic" to "topic". Possibly a redirect remover, that is articles linking to redirects to be pointed at the main article. That's all for now. - Quolnok 06:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- If the bot discovers that it does not recognise a link, such as Hypnotoad or a special comic, it will simply leave a "Bot comment", saying that it did not recognise it. But it won't change it. I did have that in mind when I wrote it. --SvipTalk 14:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Date format in references

- For now, add a bot comment. This should prevent the bot from making edits to the article. --Sviptalk 17:10, 15 May 2012 (CEST)
