Edit period(s): Weekly

Function details: Weekly purge and forcelinkupdate for all pages in the following categories: Category:Declined AfC submissions, Category:Rejected AfC submissions, Category:Pending AfC submissions.

This is a takeover of part of Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ProcBot 6. User:ProcrastinatingReader appears to be inactive, and their bot is not operating.

• Approved for trial (30 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Just want to make sure the wheels don't fall off. Primefac (talk) 09:38, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

  Just now seeing the approval. Must have missed it on my watchlist. Will work on in the next few weeks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:29, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

  Withdrawn by operator. I don't have time to work on this one in the near future. And ProcrastinatingReader is active again. And I think someone else did some kind of workaround that temporarily solved this issue. So I'll go ahead and withdraw this one for now if that's OK. Feel free to contact me about resuming this task if the above categories become empty again. Thank you. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:34, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

  FWIW, I am not sure when I'll get the time to fix ProcBot's task 6. There's a good chance you'll get around to this before I do. But will mark this as withdrawn as requested; feel free to reopen/refile if you wish to continue it. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
