DraiconeBot is simply another human assisted bot to speed up janitorial tasks. Currently its main function is spellchecking (under my direct control - this is an AWB bot, nothing else) however recently I have been converting {{Wikify}} to {{Wikify-date|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} (again, under my constant supervision; the diff of every edit is previewed before the edit is made). It will be run for as long as it is neccessary, unless a significant change to AWB find+replace is made, in which case I (Draicone) will stop using it until I rewrite the simple scripts it uses. This bot has AWB clearance as a user only. The 'using AWB' message cannot be suppressed; all edits made using AWB will therefore be marked as such.
