Bot0612 3

Operator: RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Semi-automatic, regex set up and then set to run automatically

Programming Language(s): AWB (C#)

Function Summary: Changing the transclusions of recently userfied userboxen on userpages.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One run per userbox moved

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: In essence a trivially simple task that I have recently been doing with my AWB account. The reason I want approval to do it automatically is twofold: 1) clicking 'Save' every time when I have checked and rechecked the regex as fine (i.e. no problems) is getting tedious, and 2) some of the userboxen that I feel should be in userspace have 200+ transclusions and I would therefore clog up recent changes unless I use a +bot flagged account.

Discussion

Sounds like what is expected for UBX moves. I'll wait for somebody else to chime in though. Q ^{T C} 21:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See here for a demonstration edit, and here for the AWB module code. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 21:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable to me

Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Q ^{T C} 17:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Only a couple of minor bugs (which I quickly squashed), the updated code can be seen here. The edit summary problem came from me reusing old code, now fixed. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 19:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
