Function overview: Periodically inspect regression test pages for other bots, report errors, stop the bot on fatal errors, reset the regression test pages.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): 6 hourly [also on demand, e.g. when releasing a new build]
Estimated number of pages affected: 7 (four test pages, two talk pages, and a log)
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): N/A
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function details: Four pages will be used per bot supported (initially one bot)
Each page will be examined to see if it has been visited by the bot. If so the result of the visit will be tested. Results will be logged. Failures will be notified to the botop (me). Critical failures will be logged to the bot's talk page, stopping it [in the case of AWB bots]. The page will be restored to pre-test state. If not visited that will be logged too.
