ProcBot 10

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

Time filed: 17:28, Monday, March 21, 2022 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): Go

Source code available: https://github.com/mashedkeyboard/yapperbot-uncurrenter

Function overview: Removing {{current}} templates from articles that no longer require the template (no changes in an extended amount of time)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yapperbot 2, [[User_talk:Sdkb#Removal_of_{{current}}]]

Edit period(s): Continuous

Estimated number of pages affected: Probably over 100 in initial run, but few after backlog is cleared

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: This bot task will take over Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yapperbot 2; that particular bot task seems to be inactive currently and as such {{current}} has ~190 transclusions, most of which are stale in terms of editing so the template shouldn't be present.

Naypta hasn't edited since 2020, but I'm happy to hand the task back to them should they return to editing. Since their task was open source, this task will run the same source code.

Speedily Approved. Straight copy of existing and approved code, so I see no reason to trial this. Primefac (talk) 09:20, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
