User:MichaelBillingtonBot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This user account is a bot operated by MichaelBillington (talk).
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. |

This bot has been approved and flagged, see the relevant approvals page if you don't believe me.
[edit] So what does it do?
It basically switches old templates with new ones where template redirects don't work (I've been told this has something to do with parser functions). It edits only in user space, and (if functioning correctly) modifies nothing but the userboxes. You may contact Michael Billington if you have any questions/comments/complaints/criticism about the bot.
[edit] What else does it do?
Until the category is cleared, MichaelBillingtonBot will also help to implement the German userbox solution based on Category:Wikipedia GUS userboxes, a very similar task to what it already does. Again, direct all questions/comments/complaints/criticism to User talk:MichaelBillington, where it will get attention.
[edit] Is that all?
It's capable of most userspace or userbox related edits, so if you need any mass edits done in that area, just contact me. I may also be able to help with other things template-related, or even something entirely different. Either way, you may as well ask.
