[edit] MartinBotIII

tasks • contribs • count • sul • logs • page moves • block user • block log • flag log • flag bot

Operator: Martinp23

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Substituation of templates listed at WP:SUBST

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Several times a week

Edit rate requested: 6-8 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: Using AWB's substitution features, subst user messages and other templates which haven't yet been subst'ed. Although there seem to be a number of bots listed for the task, I noticed that (while testing something) there are still huge substitution backlogs. Appropriate namespaces filters will be used to avoid breaking anything :).

[edit] Discussion

Speedily Approved.. This is a failry routine function for AWB bots, and operator has a good bot history. Please use "flag all edits minor" when subst'ing templates on user-talk pages to avoid the new messags banner. Until you have a few good runs (500+ susbt's) it would be wise to avoid the templates in the "under debate" section of WP:SUBST. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
