Withdrawn by operator.
Operator: EpicPupper (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)
Time filed: 23:24, Thursday, April 7, 2022 (UTC)
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): Python, mwclient
Source code available: Python, mwclient, will publish source code if approved
Function overview: Notifies users when they are added to the redirect autopatrol list
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): Daily
Estimated number of pages affected: ~3 per day
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Append User:EpicPupper/Redirect autopatrol through subst for users added to the list in the past day, with the granting admin for the first parameter. If approved, I'll move the page to template-space. This is beneficial as users may be confused on why their redirects are being automatically patrolled by a bot (and some of the redirects might not be under the default bot patrol criteria).
