[edit] SkiersBot

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

Operator: SkierRMH

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Bot will run automatically, lists will be parsed manually to remove inappropriate user/category/template/etc articles that are sometimes included in recursive lists

Programming Language(s): Using AWB

Function Summary: If the article includes the "stub" category (recursive) and the talk page does not exist, creates the talk page with the appropriate project information.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Will run one category at a time, categories will rotate, depending on the number that are requested, probably once every other month at tops.

Edit rate requested: 4-5 epm; however highly depends on the category; manually I can sometimes do 6 - 7 epm (song stubs), and for another, AWB didn't find an appropriate article for 10 minutes.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):

Function Details: See User:SkierRMH/SkiersBot for the categories being proposed initially. See My user contributions for some recent examples of articles tagged manually.

Sounds good to me. Approved for trial (50 edits). —METS501 (talk) 03:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it 'Best Practices' for a Bot to have a userpage first? Oops, missed the subpage, but shouldn't that be moved to the Bots' User page? Q ^{T C} 04:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Fixed, see SkiersBot. Awaiting AWB bot OK. SkierRMH 06:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Trial run completed. SkierRMH 20:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd have to say it looks good, and would approve you, but I'll wait for a second BAG opinion. Q ^{T C} 21:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Meh, didn't see anything wrong with the 50 edits. Approved. Q ^{T C} 21:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
