ArchiveBot (Temporary Bot Admin)

In order to carry out the automatic archival of the ~3000 articles per recent discussion on WN:AAA, this bot needs the admin flag. This will be a temporary adminship - I do not expect the job to last any longer than 1 month. The alternative to adminising the bot is to use my user account for the process - which is *highly* undesirable as it will flood RC with the changes made, and ArchiveBot already has a bot flag. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skenmy (talk • contribs) 18:35, 25 January 2008‎

Support per previous discussion at WN:AAA. Wilhelm 18:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. We grant users bureaucrat rights because we trust their judgement. I suggest a 'crat uses their discretion and immediately grants temp adminship to this bot account considering that we already trust this already trust this user with both a bot flag and admin rights so combining the two to complete a task which has received the support of the community per WN:AAA seems uncontroversial.
