This user account is a bot operated by Martinp23 (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |
This is a bot, written in C# and using the dotnetwikibot framework, to carry out various tasks, summarised below:
Removal of "non existant" categories
editNon-existant categories (ie those which contain no header text) are now being evacuated of items by MartinBotII on a trial basis. Should you notice a problem with this, please report here (the bot approval page) and feel free to revert the bot. Only categories with fewer than 5 members will be emptied, and effort has gone into correcting spelling mistakes in page categories.
Update infobox status
editThe bot updates the status of infobox completion of the Bedfordshire Wikiproject, by looking in various categories and inputing the contents into a table.
Send Wikiproject Indonesia Newsletter
editEvery Sunday, at around 2100UTC, the bot posts the WikiProject Indonesia newsletter to all members of the project who are not listed on the opt-out list (contact User:Martinp23 to be added). If requested, the bot will be happy to leave just a link to the newsletter of your user talk page, rather than the full version. Again, contact User:Martinp23.

Administrators: Use this button if the bot is malfunctioning. (direct link)
