I've blocked User:SplineBot as it is not an approved bot. Could you please explain why you created that account and added the bot template? Thank you.

- The bot account was created in preparation for submitting a BRFA, and in order to separate bot-testing edits from my own, human editing. WP:BOTAPPROVAL states that 'bots' that edit pages explicitly designated for testing (such as the Sandbox, which is the only page the bot edited) or pages in the User: namespace do not require approval so long as they do so at a limited rate. This is all I intend to do until a BRFA has been submitted and approved. I admit that I should probably have detailed this on the bot's user page, apologies.

- I've asked another administrator to decide what to do. Thank you for your patience.
