BlackpoolFCBot
Operator: Schultr4 (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): C# using the .NET wikibot framework

Function Summary: Adds a sort key to one of the categories in all pages in the category Blackpool F.C. seasons

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run):one time run

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):Bot does not yet exist

Function Details: The bot pulls all pages in the category Blackpool F.C. seasons then goes through each page and appends the year of the season to the Category:Blackpool_F.C._seasons part of the page as a sort key. So the article Blackpool F.C. season 1896–97 contains a category that reads but after this bot runs it will read

Discussion

 * It's a good idea to create the bot account before requesting approval, and to put the bot template on the bot's userpage so that the operator can be identified. Also, would you be willing to publish the source code, even just the sections that directly relate to the task?  RichardΩ612  Ɣ ɸ 17:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've created a user for the bot. The bots user page can be found here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BlackpoolFCBot.  The source code for the bot is below.  Please keep in mind that this is my first bot.

This really didn't need a bot request, nor will it need a flag. BJ Talk 14:59, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
