Hello! I'm the proposed Wikipedia:Articles for creation maintainance bot!
Here's what I do:
- Auto-archiving of requests
- Actions: Moves the current day's request to the appropriate archive, starts a fresh request page, and updates the archive listings.
- Frequency: Once per day.
- Stub/category cleanup
- Actions: Looks for stub entries and categories added by users in their requests and converts them to simple links. This is at the request from the stub/category sorting communities.
- Frequency: 3-6 times per day.
- Empty request cleanup
- Actions: Looks for dead/null requests (that is, requests that consist of nothing but the request template with no added text) and removes them.
- Frequency: 3-6 times per day.
At first, I will be manually started by ShinmaWa until it is determined that all my functions are working as expected. At that point, the I will run on as a cron job from a Linux server. I'm being written in Java -- appropriate given my Seattle roots.
