Legobot manages quite a few different tasks, so in many cases blocking the bot is not the best option. Some tasks have an "off switch", which will be mentioned in the edit summary or down below. You can probably also stop the bot from trampling over a specific page using {{nobots}} . If you absolutely must, you can block the bot. |

Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
This bot runs on Wikimedia Toolforge. It runs on the legobot tool account (k8s-status · k8s grafana). Administrators: If this bot needs to be blocked due to a malfunction, please remember to disable autoblocks so that other Toolforge bots are not affected. |

Opt-out and hiding
editTo prevent Legobot from editing a page for whatever reason, {{bots|deny=Legobot}}
should work.
If it keeps removing an RFC as expired that you wish to continue for whatever reason, add <!-- RFCBot Ignore Expired -->
somewhere on the page. It's your responsibility to archive the RFC and remove the template once it is over.
If you want to hide Legobot from your watchlist, see WP:HIDEBOTS. If you want to hide just the "Fixing lint errors" edits, go to your watchlist, in the "Active filters" box, on the right click "Tags", type "fixing lint errors", select the corresponding checkbox and then press "Excluding selected". The edits should now be hidden. To save this as your default, click the bookmark icon on the right side and set it as your default.
