[edit] MartinBotIV

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

Operator: Martinp23

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Auto

Programming Language(s): C#

Function Summary: Reverts removal of template as here, where a long-term sockpuppet has been removing it to change the nationality of a player. Protection is not feasible.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Continuous

Edit rate requested: < 1 per minute, probably

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N (not required)

Function Details: See above. Bot doens't warn users, as doing so is an exercise in futility, as they are almost exclusively SPAs, and all are socks. This is a vandal attack going back further than *October*.

[edit] Discussion

Confused as to the scope, this bot will exist to keep one template on one article? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes :-). It will revert the edit shown in the diff above, only on that page, and only when the template is removed. Martinp23 15:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedily Approved. --ST47Talk 12:08, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
