[edit] Tasks
The bot scans the talk page of every articles in the Television WikiProject for certain categories, such as Category:Good article nominees. The bot then generates a task list, and posts them to User:Parent5446 Bot/Task Lists/WikiProject Television, which will be transcluded to the main page if the bot it approved. The bot uses PHP and Curl. The bot is expected to run automatically daily. The bot's run lasts around two hours (it has to scan every page), and makes sure to sleep three seconds between each read request. Though there are a lot of read requests, the bot only makes one edit: to the tasks page. The bot is currently maintained by User:Parent5446. This bot is also exclusion-compliant.
