Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP

Function Summary: Giving credits for DYK

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Run after DYKadminBot updates T:DYK

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N - first task is in trial

Function Details: After T:DYK is updated this bot will tag the talkpages of the authors and nominators with {{UpdatedDYK}} or {{UpdatedDYKNom}} as appropriate and tag the talkpages of the articles with {{dyktalk}}. To keep the human-element of DYK credits the bot will copy the signature of the admin who adds the next update to the queue (this will be specified as a parameter of the {{DYKbotdo}} template) and has the capability of posting a unique comment for each author/nominator (such as Good work, Well done etc.), which is specified as a parameter of {{DYKmake}}/{{DYKnom}}.

Discussion

Can the approved hooks also be added? Sometimes, I see loads of DYK messages on talk pages, but I find it hard to figure what the speciality of the DYK article was. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Done. I'll change the templates so they display the hook before I run the bot. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 12:42, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. MBisanz ^talk 20:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a note that it isn't adding the hooks right now. I'll have to look at a way to do it reliably later on. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 07:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Trial complete. I can't count. ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 11:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
