BaranBOT 8

Operator: DreamRimmer (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 16:06, Wednesday, October 30, 2024 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AWB/PAWS

Source code available:

Function overview: Fix mass message issues.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition

Edit period(s): whenever there are issues with any mass messages

Estimated number of pages affected: 1802 for current task

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: There is a mass message sent by WMF staff that has a wrong wikilink, so this bot would fix it by simply replacing [[Special:MyLanguage/Research: with [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:. If there are no issues, I would like to take this on as a generic task for my bot since there is currently no active bot handling this. I have fixed mass messages before and am available most of the time to address any issues that may arise. DannyS712's bot has a generic task for fixing mass messages, but Danny is currently not active.

Discussion

Speedily Approved. Simple task, proven operator. If possible, please have a central page for request and/or tracking of this; I'm not sure Danny's task 8 has one but it's probably a good idea for future requests of the bot (i.e. CYA/records/etc). Primefac (talk) 16:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
