  This is pretty straightforward.

• Periodic automated page tagging of linkless and orphan pages. (initially using AWB, will transition to a custom Perl bot running from cron)

  Initially, this will be manually executed as a backup to wmarsh, who already does this weekly, and will transition to a custom bot written in perl.

• (possible) bulk stub sorting (manual, using AWB)

  Also pretty straightforward, a list will be made, manually checked, and fed to AWB for edit at the rates described above.

Discussion

The Following converstion came from an IRC discusion and is published with the permision of all parties involved

User:Betacommand I just have a few questions

User:Triona sure.

User:Betacommand there is only one real concern, you say you plan to move to a custiom script after you are approved. I think that you should do this before so that the edts show up on RC just incase there is a error in the code

User:Triona that's the plan yes, that script hasn't been written yet, but it would essentially operate in the same way that AWB does that task.

User:Triona The conversion to a custom script would be another testing phase.

User:Betacommand I Understand that, but I would prefer to have the new script written and tested before you get a bot flag as to allow RC patrolers to see the bot and as a saftey incase there is a malfunction. (I like the Idea behind your bot)

User:Triona ok... hmm...

User:Betacommand but I would prefer to have the testing done before your bot is approved and has a flag

User:Betacommand Do you see my concerns?

User:Triona Yeah. I'd be happy to come back for approval on that part.

User:Betacommand how long do you think it will be for your new script?

User:Triona I guess a "test" account could be created when the time comes. probably a week or two. max

User:Betacommand we can stall the process for that long and get you limited AWB approval and give full approval once you have the new script.

I Support this bot and I would approve a trial run and if there were no issues I will move to approve but I would like more input before taking those actions. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 04:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Please go ahead with a trial run once the new script has been written. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 00:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
