User:Alaibot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This user account is a bot operated by Alai (talk). It is a legitimate alternate account, used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. The bot is currently inactive but retains the approval of the community. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

This is an automatically-editing, manually-run bot, using template.py and replace.py from the pywikipedia framework for template renames, and a modification for template merger. It has approval to run on the basis of WP:SFD outcomes, and to re-tag stubs on the basis of double-stubbings and permanent category membership. Now also approved for populating "missing category" maintenance categories, and splitting up Cat:articles with topics of unclear notability by month (see Cat:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month). Additionally: splitting up maintenance categories by date, after the fact; and tagging short, uncategorised articles as stubs.
