Cyberbot I 3
Operator:

Time filed: 16:11, Wednesday February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): PHP

Source code available: No

Function overview: This is an amendment to the Adminstats task.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): IRC communication

Edit period(s): Still Continuous

Estimated number of pages affected: Same as before

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: This is an amendment to the adminstats task based off of a couple of requests. As it currently is running, Adminstats are only providing statistics to admins because it acts as an edit counter for non admins which violates WP:BOTPOL. Another statistic that adminstats display is number of accounts being created. I want to open adminstats to account creators now. Per WP:BOTPOL that is technically allowed, but I want input from BAG.

 * Rather than take initiative and unlock adminstats to account creators, I want input from BAG on this.— cyberpower Offline Be my Valentine 16:11, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Would be a maximum of 160 more edits a day if every account creator used it, I see no problem. I'll wait a day and see what other people think. I don't really think a trial is needed for this either as I imagine the code is not changing.  ·Add§hore·  Talk To Me! 18:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * . This means one day / one run when at least 1 non admin users stats will also be updated  ·Add§hore·  Talk To Me! 17:22, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
