User:BracketBot

What the Bot Does
BracketBot checks all edits to see if all open brackets ({[&lt; have matching close brackets &gt;]}), and informs the editor that their edit may have broken some markup if there is a mismatch. In order to reduce false positives, it will not message the editor if one of these conditions is met:


 * It is not in the main namespace.
 * It is fixed within ten minutes.
 * There are no unmatched brackets for the whole article.
 * It finds the unorthodox numbering system of 1), 2), … or a), b), …
 * The edit summary contains "rv", "revert" or "!nobot!".
 * The edit hash matches a hash in the previous 50 edits (the edit was a revert).
 * The user has opted out of BracketBot messages.

If it has to create a talk page for the user, it will welcome them.
