AutocracyBot
Operator: Autocracy

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Fulfilling simple requests from the Bot Requests page. Currently assisting the WP:Vandalism Study group by collecting stats (the bot flag giving me an order of 10 greater requests on api.php would be HUGE), and going to compile a nightly count of unused images.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Nightly for images count, one-time for others.

Edit rate requested: At a pace required to meet requests within a day, not > 1 per 15 seconds. (If I have only 600 pages to do, I'd space them a minute apart, etc.).

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):

Function Details: Uses Perlwikipedia, which I am patching as I go and trying ot contribute patches back to maintainer.

Discussion
Speedily Approved. for the vandalism studies stuff, the image count...why is that necessary? --ST47 Talk 18:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Said include all functions :) (and no, it's not necessary for the image count at all). AutocracyBot 18:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Huh? clarifying. Vandalism stuff is Approved, keep the edit rate down. Why do you need to count images? (also, reply to comments and questions as yourself, not your bot :) --ST47 Talk 18:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, didn't realise that I hadn't logged back out after doing the accoun creation. Image count is a requested function from the Bot Request page. -- Auto ( talk / contribs ) 18:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, if you wish to expand the bot's function to something other than the vandalism studies stuff mentioned here, you need separate bot approval. — M ETS 501 (talk) 20:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
