[edit] Summary

This bot crawls Category:Wikipedia requested photographs and re-categorizes as many generic image requests as it can.

[edit] Description

When the bot finds an article which has a {{reqphoto}}, {{photoreq}}, {{photorequest}}, {{photoneeded}}, {{images-wanted}} or {{image-reqphoto}} template with no parameters, it will check for the following conditions and update the photo request as appropriate.

Note that the bot does not attempt to determine whether the article already has a photo that fulfills the request. I have thought about this but do not believe that it could be done safely in an automated way -- perhaps a semiautomatic bot could do it. The result is that this bot may update a {{reqphoto}} template even when it is no longer needed; if you notice it do this, please feel free to remove the template!
