Task 2 work checklist for making the bot do a bit more work automatically which is the entire damn point of a bot:

  • Green tickY Make bot find page move history and hunt for archives under old pages (task job)
    • Green tickY Implement the ability to find page move history (backend job) (Should never accidentally get it wrong. Can't be sure about bad-faith tries to screw with it though)
      • Green tickY Implement the ability to get page history (backend job)
  • Green tickY Automatically move archive pages under new name (task job)
    • Green tickY Implement the ability to move a page (backend job)
  • Orange tickY Don't be scared to just fix it if there are 0 subpages and move history brings nothing up, assuming that its just vandalism / new but bad archive (task job)
For the Orange tickY one, I'm just gonna say "no page move history? Eh, ask for manual input, you never know". All the changes above make this a good enough improvement anyways, and plus it'll still fix edit vandalism (cause the archive pages will still exist under where we want them to)

Extra:

  • Green tickY Look into &assert=user (not urgent or task-2 relevant, but redundancy is cool)

tl;dr being scared is fine but right now its excessive, plus we should start moving more pages cause thats 95%+[citation needed] of the problems to do with this stuff
