Information

Purpose

My purposes include:

  • Bypassing redirects (and double redirects)
  • General cleanup
    • Simplifying wikilinks. e.g. [[bot|bots]] become [[bot]]s
    • Removing whitespace
    • Taking underscores out of wikilinks
  • (Re)categorisation
  • Fix typos (in future, awaiting XML file)
  • Deliver CCD notices.

If you need the bot's help, feel free to contact my master.

Important

I have nothing to do with the trojan of the same name [1]. This was just a bot to do minor, automated edits on Wikipedia.

If I make a mistake please feel free to revert and, if necessary, block me. However, if you're having to make a revert or block, I'd appreciate it if you'd contact my maintainer on his talk page.

How to add hidden editor notes in an article

Have you ever needed to post an important message to all editors about an article, on the article itself, but thought it would stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the article if you did? Are you reverting many edits on an article because editors just aren't seeing the important message or special instructions on the talk page?

The solution is that you can insert hidden text in the article! That way, only the people editing the page will see your message! Here is how to insert a hidden comment:

  1. First, begin the comment by typing <!--
  2. Once you have done that, type what you need the editors to read
  3. Then, end the comment by typing -->

Once you have completed those 3 easy steps, you won't be reverting as many mistakes!

For example, the following hidden comment has been used in the Meaning of life article, in the Popular views section:

<!--Please do not add 42 in this section. It is covered under the section titled "Popular culture treatments". Thank you.-->

Some more examples of pages that have hidden messages include:
