All the images in [[:Category:Friends Institute, Birmingham]] are misnamed. The names begin "Friends Insitute...", which is misspelled, and should be "Friends Institute...". Can someone do a batch rename, please? Apologies for my ineptitude. [[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]] ([[User talk:Pigsonthewing|talk]]) 20:52, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I propose we create an edit filter to prevent non-flagged bots from editing rapidly. Recently [[User:Unauthorized Bot]] made over 30,000 edits without a BRFA - the bot is now blocked but this shouldn't have happened. An abuse filter could trip only when the bots were editing this rapidly and the logic would be fairly simple. When submitting an edit, the filter checks for the word 'bot' in the username and then checks for a bot flag, preventing this username abuse by stopping the bot's fast editing. This shouldn't be hard to implement, but it requires consensus. Thoughts? [[User:Mono|'''Mono''']] 21:59, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
