 * Note: The bot is similar to User:WolterBot (BRFA), inasmuch as it prepares reports on an external server - the tool server, in this case - and then uploads pages to Wikipedia's project space. The code doing the uploads is in fact identical to what WolterBot uses. Edit rate is limited to 5 edits/minute. As opposed to WolterBot, this bot may later generate a considerable number of revisions daily, possibly several hundreds. It's currently planned to run it once a day; this might be increased later, performance allowing. --B. Wolterding (talk) 07:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
