Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Re: your unblock message./reply (4)

I want the changes to stop until they are discussed on a page such as Beer parlour, Template talk:it-noun, or Wiktionary talk:About Italian. (Or at least, mentioned there, followed by a day or two of no-one objecting.) It's not reasonable to require interested users to be following your personal talk-page.

When someone asks you to do something (which doesn't seem to be the case with your changes, but anyway), it's still your responsibility to make sure it's something O.K. to do. (When someone asks you to create an entry, and you know that the entry shouldn't exist, do you create it anyway, on the grounds that someone asked for it?) In the case of a bot change, that just means ensuring either that it's something that "no one could possibly object" to, or that it's been discussed somewhere appropriate.
