IndentBot

[edit]

IndentBot is a bot that helps screen readers reading discussion pages by reducing list gaps and mixing of list markers (e.g. * and :). The bot watches recent changes looking for signature-adding edits to discussion pages.

Where edits are made

[edit]

The bot considers pages from the following namespaces: Talk, Wikipedia talk, File talk, Mediawiki talk, Template talk, Help talk, Category talk, Portal talk, Draft talk, TimedText talk, and Module talk. Pages in the Wikipedia namespace are considered if they contain at least five signatures. DYK nomination pages are considered. User talk pages are considered if they include IndentBot in the allow parameter of the {{bots}} template. Most sandboxes will be ignored.
