CommonsNotificationBot 2
Operator:

Time filed: 00:49, Monday August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual:

Programming language(s): Python (pyWikibot + my framework code)

Source code available: http://hg.errant.me.uk/wikibots/src/tip/commonsbot.py

Function overview: Extending the bot functionality to monitor en.wiki

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Originally raised here and then I was asked about it on my talk page.

Edit period(s): Continuous

Estimated number of pages affected: ~50/day or less. The bot currently makes about 100 edits a day.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): n/a

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

Function details: Identical to Bots/Requests for approval/CommonsNotificationBot, but instead of monitoring commons, it will monitor en.wiki image speedy deletion categories.

It will post notices in exactly the same way as it does currently - on article talk pages for images with less than 50 article uses (or 75 uses across al namespaces), and on WP:VPM for images over that limit.

Discussion
From a technical standpoint, it's the same code that was already approved. From a community standpoint, it's an expansion of the existing task that was already approved; I see no chance that this will be controversial where the original request wasn't. No need to delay this. Anomie⚔ 00:56, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
