AutocracyBot

Operator: Autocracy

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Fulfilling simple requests from the Bot Requests page. Currently assisting the WP:Vandalism Study group by collecting stats (the bot flag giving me an order of 10 greater requests on api.php would be HUGE), and going to compile a nightly count of unused images.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Nightly for images count, one-time for others.

Edit rate requested: At a pace required to meet requests within a day, not > 1 per 15 seconds. (If I have only 600 pages to do, I'd space them a minute apart, etc.).

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):

Function Details: Uses Perlwikipedia, which I am patching as I go and trying ot contribute patches back to maintainer.

Discussion

Speedily Approved. for the vandalism studies stuff, the image count...why is that necessary? --ST47Talk 18:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Said include all functions :) (and no, it's not necessary for the image count at all). AutocracyBot 18:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Huh? clarifying. Vandalism stuff is Approved, keep the edit rate down. Why do you need to count images? (also, reply to comments and questions as yourself, not your bot :) --ST47Talk 18:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, didn't realise that I hadn't logged back out after doing the accoun creation. Image count is a requested function from the Bot Request page. --Auto(talk / contribs) 18:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Just for the record, if you wish to expand the bot's function to something other than the vandalism studies stuff mentioned here, you need separate bot approval. —METS501 (talk) 20:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
