MilHistBot 2

Operator: Hawkeye7 (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 21:38, Thursday, January 11, 2018 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Perl

Source code available: User:MilHistBot/membership.pl

Function overview: The Bot checks the list of active members of WikiProject Military History (Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Members/Active) and moves members who have been inactive for more than 365 days to the inactive members list (Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Members/Inactive). (This is similar to the function performed by the Rick Bot for the list of administrators.)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Coordinators#Audit_of_Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Members/Active

Edit period(s): Monthly

Estimated number of pages affected: Two

Namespace(s): Wikipedia

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No. Seems unnecessary when we are only dealing with only two designated pages.

Function details: The Bot reads the active members list, and checks for when they were last active. If this was more than 365 days ago, then the member is removed from the active list and added to the inactive list.
