Function overview: The bot will tag AfC drafts that haven't been edited for a while as G13.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Manual

Programming language(s): Twinkle

Source code available: Twinkle

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Daily

Estimated number of pages affected: 10-20 drafts a day

Namespace(s): Draftspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: This will be manual but the edits will be fast (which is why I want to do this on a bot). The bot will manually check the drafts at Category:AfC G13 eligible soon submissions. It will look at each draft and tag them for G13. Unlike the other tasks, this is manual so any promising drafts will be skipped under my discretion. The bot will tag the draft for deletion using Twinkle, send a message to the user saying that the draft they created has been tagged for speedy deletion and log it in a CSD log. It will tag 2-5 drafts a minute which could mean six to fifteen edits in a minute which is why I want to do this on a bot account. The maximum number of drafts it will tag in a day is 20 drafts and the bot will never go over that limit.

Sorry for submitting tasks quickly, this will be the last task for a while (at least until 2019). Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:48, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Denied. : nominating pages for deletion should always be reviewed (as you say you will do) - but it also ties in with communicating with the editors, etc - and this should be done by you as an editor, your volume is low enough to not require a bot. It should always be very clear that you, a human, are asking to have something deleted. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:16, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Regarding your "volume" 10-20 epd is low volume and should not be a problem to be made traditionally. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:17, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
