Operator: Wpusers

Automatic or Manually assisted: Fully automatic, with the possibility to manually override the bots behavior if desired.

Programming language(s): Python

Function overview:

• Query Wikipedia API every X minutes (Idea: 5-10 min ish) for new pages

• If bot is cold started, fetch newpagelist with the last X (Idea: 25-50) pages. (See: Note 1)
• If the bot is running, only fetch the list of new pages since the last visit.

• If the bot has found any new pages, load the page content and start to parse it.

• Bot will parse the content to determine if any maintenance tags have to be placed.

• If there is a need to place a maintenance tag, add the tag to the article, and resume with the next article.

Edit period(s): Continuous

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): (Not applicable, new bot)

Function details:

• • • If the page is deleted under G7 (author request) no one gets a message as I see that as overriding other concerns.
    • If the page is userfied or redirected, no one gets a message.
    • If the page is deleted and the admin does not reference CSD criteria in the deletion summary no one gets a message.
    • If an admin deletes a page and cites multiple criteria, editors who added a tag corresponding to any of the criteria in the admin's deletion reason will not get a message.
