Purpose
The purpose of this bot is to monitor WP:AIV and check if reported users are blocked. If the user is blocked the bot will remove the entry with an edit summary explaining why, for how long, what type of block, and how many remaining reports are left. The bot also has several other, related tasks:
 * Combine multiple entries for the same user/IP address
 * Add and remove the adminbacklog template as needed
 * Mark IP addresses in special IP ranges with descriptive comments
 * Reset the instruction block as necessary when it is changed

Multiple redundant bots are used to ensure that WP:AIV is always properly serviced. The bots are designed such that they will not duplicate work, and can all run simultaneously without problems or significant added load to the Wikipedia servers.
