What or who is the EditBot that I should thank?

Question

Linda Petersen was kind enough to help me figure out how to use a template for Find A Grave links.  Now I get bunches of notifications that I think are the result of using it.  It is very helpful, even though it takes a bit of time.  So if this is a tool someone developed, is there a way to thank that person?  Or do I thank a thing?

Comments

Willodene, would you be so kind to educate me/us on what tool/template you are using? I would be interested in learning it.

thank-you Melanie

Once you understand how to use that template, it does help to clear up suggestions when you put other people's Find a Grave information on a profile, especially when they are mentioned, but don't have their own page. Since it provides a direct link to the page, it is better than the generic url. Glad I could help.

Got it Linda, thanks.

Glad to help.

Answer 1

You can thank EditBot, who is technically a user, but this team member is responsible for programming him/it/her:
