::Don't think this is a good idea. I expect lot's of problems (for one because the abusefilter doesn't play very nice with the api) and I don't really see a big problem. If a bot misbehave and is annoyingly fast we tend to notice it and block it. [[User:Multichill|Multichill]] ([[User talk:Multichill|talk]]) 23:19, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

:This would clearly "promote" our bot-approval request page. While I wouldn't oppose, I think the throttle shouldn't be too restrictive; only to prevent serious abuse (>1k actions in 3 hours or so). The API does indeed not play well with AbuseFilter and the error returned will be "hookaborted" , "The modification you've tried ... was aborted by an extension hook." -- This doesn't explicitly tell you that it is AbuseFilter nor does it tell you which filter and why it was prevented. -- ''[[User:Rillke|Rillke]]''^{[[User talk:Rillke|(q?)]]} 23:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

::No need really, it'll be in the recent changes and the bot would get blocked. If it's possible to work out who operates the bot (this seems problematic on some projects) then the operator would be frowned upon unless it's a demonstration for the approvals process.
