Bot0612 3
Operator:  RichardΩ612  Ɣ ɸ

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Semi-automatic, regex set up and then set to run automatically

Programming Language(s): AWB (C#)

Function Summary: Changing the transclusions of recently userfied userboxen on userpages.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One run per userbox moved

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: In essence a trivially simple task that I have recently been doing with my AWB account. The reason I want approval to do it automatically is twofold: 1) clicking 'Save' every time when I have checked and rechecked the regex as fine (i.e. no problems) is getting tedious, and 2) some of the userboxen that I feel should be in userspace have 200+ transclusions and I would therefore clog up recent changes unless I use a +bot flagged account.

Discussion
Sounds like what is expected for UBX moves. I'll wait for somebody else to chime in though. Q T C 21:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ Only a couple of minor bugs (which I quickly squashed), the updated code can be seen here. The edit summary problem came from me reusing old code, now fixed.  RichardΩ612  Ɣ ɸ 19:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
