AnomieBOT 59[edit]

Operator: Anomie ⚔

Time filed: 04:40, Monday October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual: Automatic, unsupervised

Programming language(s): Perl

Source code available: User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TFDClerk.pm

Function overview: Clerking for WP:TFD, taking over for SporkBot.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): User talk:Anomie#Possible new bot task

Edit period(s): Periodic

Estimated number of pages affected: TFD and subpages

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes

Function details: The bot will perform the following tasks at WP:TFD:

Create the daily TFD subpage.
Fix the headers on the daily TFD subpages, if they get removed or damaged.
Maintain the lists at WP:TFD#Current discussions and WP:TFD#Old discussions.
Subst {{tfd top}} and {{tfd bottom}}, when editing the page anyway.
Other tasks affecting only WP:TFD and subpages as determined by consensus at WT:TFD.

Discussion[edit]

The intent of the last bullet point is to cover things such as if the TFD regulars want AnomieBOT to mark discussions closed when the template is deleted (as it does at WP:FFD and WP:PUF). Note it is clearly specified that this bullet applies only to WP:TFD and subpages; should there be a desire for AnomieBOT to notify users, mark templates, or the like, this bullet would not apply and a supplemental BRFA would be required.

Note that this BRFA is somewhat time-sensitive, as Plastikspork and SporkBot will be going offline in a few days. Anomie ⚔ 04:40, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Already-approved task. Trusted bot-op, so you can just keep running it meanwhile. Are you using new code or SporkBot's old code? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:52, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New code, adapted from the code for AnomieBOT 11. Anomie ⚔ 11:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, have a trial for a week or so just in case until this gets approved. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good Approved. --Chris 08:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
