Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s):

Source code available:

Function overview: Removing {{current related}} other current-event templates from articles that no longer require the template (no changes in an extended amount of time)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ProcBot 10

Edit period(s): Cont

Estimated number of pages affected: ~140 initially

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Extends Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ProcBot 10 to the {{current related}} template, which is meant to serve the same purpose but on articles 'related' to a current event. Has the same guidance w.r.t. the page actually being actively edited. Right now we have a lot of stale articles like Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant tagged, even though the current event referred to no longer has the template (it having been removed due to staleness).

Will use the same filter logic and code as task 10, but adding the extra template name for processing.

Discussion

Have changed to extend the task to all Wikipedia:Current_event_templates and not just {{current related}}, since they all behave in the same way, and have the same guidance and purpose, just some are more specific in terms of what the 'current event' is.
