Hi everyone.

I've got an alternative account for automatic and assisted edits that I occasionally use to aid in template maintenance tasks. In the past its been used to quickly rollout changes to templates (such as the switch from Infobox/Vehicle to Infobox/Sparrow on the sparrow articles).

For these sorts of tasks its worked great, but it has also quickly filled the recent activity feed. It gets particular bad when you consider that some templates like Infobox/Armor is on over 1300 articles.

There is a way to stop this, its called the bot flag. But for this to be applied, the community needs to support the decision. So, if you support adding the bot flag to User:Silicon Soldier Bot, post Support. If you oppose, post Oppose. If you have any questions or concerns, fire away.
