Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually Watched, but Edits Automatically

Programming Language(s): Perl, of course. Uses Shadow1's Perlwikipedia module and my STWP module.

Function Summary: Clean up the I5 CSD category by removing fair use images from outside of article space, removing tags from non-orphaned images. Used in conjunction with my account to, when I am present, list images that appear to be orphaned for my review.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Daily

Edit rate requested: 10 edits per minute

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

Just in time for me finishing coding :) - I'll have to wait until midnight when we are able to do deletions from the 26th. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟ ʇs 18:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

God, time is so confusing.

Today's backlog (from the 25th) was done here using the same algorithm as is in the bot now, I just ran it on the 26th's backlog getting nothing but deletions, and I'll run it tomorrow night against the 27th. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟ ʇs 22:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded|D}} Will the bot add a notice that it's checked the category? Maxim 02:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No - there's no need to. --uǝʌǝs ʎʇɹnoɟ ʇs(st47) 15:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
