The bot operator is —— Eagle101^{Need help?}, The bot will run every 2-3 days, making 2-5 edits per run. There is no need at this time for a bot flag and the bot does not currently have one.

The bot will get pages from Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages, and parse those entries looking for those that have a last edit over 1 month ago. Once those are identified it will put the results to a subpage, probably the bot's own for now, later on it might go to a subpage of a project or task force. The bot will run every 2-3 days updating its list of entries. (as new ones and old ones are deleted).

The bot will ignore all pages with any of the templates included in Category:sockpuppet templates. In the future the bot may take action to remove those from this category, but when and if that happens, I will make a new task request. Right now exactly how to fix the problem of these sockpuppet templates showing up in this category is not clear, and currently the bot will simply list those on a page that it sees.

The bot will generate 3 pages:

User: pages, user pages over 1 month old.
User talk: pages, user talk pages over one month old. These are seperated as it is not clear right now what to do with the talk pages. Modified behavior will only occur when and if agreement is reached on what to do with these. As for now they will be on their own seperate page, so that admins don't have to sort between the two.
User: and or User talk pages with sockpuppet templates exactly that. This will consist of only those over 1 month old. Admins or editors can take the time to manaully fix it per an agreed upon action, or just leave them be. This may get split out to a seperate page for User: and a page for User talk: pages, but thats a minor change, and will not require a seperate task and or outside approval.

The point of this is to assist admins in identifying userpages of indef blocked users to delete after 1 month. —— Eagle101^{Need help?} 01:07, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
