User:CJBot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This user account is a bot operated by Computerjoe.

It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.


Information

Purpose

My purposes include:

  • Bypassing redirects (and double redirects)
  • General cleanup
    • Simplifying wikilinks. e.g. [[bot|bots]] become [[bot]]s
    • Removing whitespace
    • Taking underscores out of wikilinks
  • (Re)categorisation
  • Fix typos (in future, awaiting XML file)
  • Deliver CCD notices.

If you need the bot's help, feel free to contact my master.

Important

If I make a mistake please feel free to revert and, if necessary, block me. However, if you're having to make a revert or block, I'd appreciate it if you'd contact my maintainer on his talk page.

Tip of the day...


Sign your messages with ~~~~

To prevent readers from getting your posts on talk pages mixed up with those of other users, be sure to sign your posts! When you edit a message, there is a row of square buttons at the top of the edit box. One of them looks like a signature: Image:Signature_icon.png. Click on it, and four tildes (~~~~) are inserted where the blinking cursor is. When you save the page, those are automatically converted into a link to your user page followed by a date stamp. You can also type in the 4 tildes manually. To sign without a date stamp, type in three tildes (~~~) instead.

Bonus tip: you can customize your signature in your preferences menu.
