Operator: After Midnight

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Start each run with manual assist and then automatic from there

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Categorization work per CFD

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): as needed to fulfill requests at CFD

Edit rate requested: 5 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: AMbot will run with AWB. I will start each run manually to confirm function and edit summaries and then will switch to automatic mode. I will take instruction to delete categories or recategorize based on instructions at Wikipedia:CFDW. I will also be able to do some tasks which normally would require manual editing, such as those found at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual#Multiple merge targets. I have already tested this functionality in AWB manually, by previewing edits only, but have pressed ignore on each and have not actually made any edits.

Discussion[edit]

Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. up to 100 edits. Martinp23 21:27, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed 36 edits, one run was for a multiple rename target, the other was for a simple rename. One of the edits is out of order due me clicking ignore once instead of save. User contribs is currently seriously lagged, so it may be a while before the edits show up in the bot's contribs. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 22:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Multi-merges come up with some regularity on CFD, therefore a bot like this would be very useful. Thanks AM! >Radiant< 13:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to hold off approving this for a bit based on [1], pending AM's response on IRC or here :) Martinp23 21:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
