This is a proposed bot for the English Wikipedia mainly fixing Double Redirects. The bot is automatic, and is run on startup of the computer in the house with pywikipedia. This computer is turned on once a day. On Mondays-Fridays, the bot operates at about 5pm, and on weekends, at 10am.

If there are no redirects to fix, it is proposed that it may perform supervised maintainence or backlog clearance tasks (a test run has been performed, results successful).
