BU RoBOT 9
Operator:

Time filed: 21:50, Saturday, April 2, 2016 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic after manually checking pages (described below)

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Close old peer reviews by making edits to peer review pages and article talk pages

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
 * Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review
 * Bot_requests

Edit period(s): Weekly or less frequently, depending on when I remember to run the darn thing

Estimated number of pages affected: Initially, around 100 to clear the backlog. Afterward, likely no more than 25-50 per month, although that depends on how active the peer reviews are in a given month.

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Uses tracking categories Category:Current peer reviews pending closure and Category:Requests for peer review pending closure. Prior to running the task, I will manually check all pages in those categories to ensure the peer reviews were opened properly by placing the appropriate templates on the appropriate pages and correct any mistakes by the editors who have opened reviews. After those mistakes are fixed, the bot will complete the close as detailed here.

 * OK to trial. — xaosflux  Talk 01:17, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The closes involve making edits to both article talk pages and the actual peer review page. Did you want to see 50 of each type of edit, or 50 total (25 of each type)? Thanks! ~ RobTalk 03:30, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Would be good to see some of each, any combination that makes sense to you is OK, up to a maximum total edits of 50. — xaosflux  Talk 03:39, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
