[edit] Activities

This bot performs the following two tasks:

The bot is uses the Python Wikipediabot Framework.

[edit] Articles for Creation

Every day, around 0:10 UTC, the bot archives Wikipedia:Articles for Creation. This task entails:

  1. moving Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today to [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/YYYY-MM-DD]] (where the title of the subpage is the date of the day that has just ended);
  2. clearing Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today and replacing the redirect created by the move by a new header;
  3. adding the new archive to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/List.

These diffs illustrate the above points: step 1, step 2, step 3.

The script can be found at /afc.py .

[edit] WikiProject Mathematics

Every day, around 1:30 UTC, the bot updates the following subpages of the mathematics wikiproject:

  1. Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Current activity, containing the new mathematics articles for that day, requested articles and images, articles nominated for deletion, etc.
  2. Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Mathematics/Lists, containing all mathematics articles which have a cleanup template slapped on them.
  3. Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Count, containing the number of all mathematics articles

This relies on the work of User:Mathbot, who lists all the mathematics articles.

These diffs illustrate the edits made: …/Current activity, …/Lists, …/Count.
