User:ShinmaBot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! I'm the proposed Wikipedia:Articles for creation maintainance bot!

Here's what I do:

Auto-archiving of requests
  • Actions: Moves the current day's request to the appropriate archive, starts a fresh request page, and updates the archive listings.
  • Frequency: Once per day.
Stub/category cleanup
  • Actions: Looks for stub entries and categories added by users in their requests and converts them to simple links. This is at the request from the stub/category sorting communities.
  • Frequency: 3-6 times per day.
Empty request cleanup
  • Actions: Looks for dead/null requests (that is, requests that consist of nothing but the request template with no added text) and removes them.
  • Frequency: 3-6 times per day.

At first, I will be manually started by ShinmaWa until it is determined that all my functions are working as expected. At that point, the I will run on as a cron job from a Linux server. I'm being written in Java -- appropriate given my Seattle roots.
