Primarily used to remove fair use images from user pages and such in line with Wikipedia's fair use policy. See User:Durin/Removal of fair use images for more information.

Only run periodically, probably limited by the release of m:database dumps, at least until the m:toolserver's replication is fixed.

If there are any problems related to the bot please leave a message here and ping my owner's talk page if it is urgent.

todo:

Some infoboxes use only the image name as a parameter for some reason, =(
It also sometimes doesn't even have Image: as a prefix!

Automated message to bot owners

edit

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 00:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your bot, BOTepho which was approved and flagged some time ago has now been deflagged due to inactivity. If you wish to run your bot again, feel free to return to the requests for bot approval page where you can reapply for your bot's task and flag. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the BAG or myself. WjBscribe 01:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Query

edit

I need help renaming about 200 articles. Doing this by hand would take me all day.

Can your bot rename articles, or be adapted to do so?

If so, please contact me.

Thank you.
