DYKBot 2
Operator: ~ User:Ameliorate!  (with the !) (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP

Function Summary: Giving credits for DYK

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Run after DYKadminBot updates T:DYK

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N - first task is in trial

Function Details: After T:DYK is updated this bot will tag the talkpages of the authors and nominators with UpdatedDYK or UpdatedDYKNom as appropriate and tag the talkpages of the articles with dyktalk. To keep the human-element of DYK credits the bot will copy the signature of the admin who adds the next update to the queue (this will be specified as a parameter of the DYKbotdo template) and has the capability of posting a unique comment for each author/nominator (such as Good work, Well done etc.), which is specified as a parameter of DYKmake/DYKnom.

Discussion

 * Can the approved hooks also be added? Sometimes, I see loads of DYK messages on talk pages, but I find it hard to figure what the speciality of the DYK article was. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  10:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. I'll change the templates so they display the hook before I run the bot. ~ User:Ameliorate!  (with the !) (talk) 12:42, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Just a note that it isn't adding the hooks right now. I'll have to look at a way to do it reliably later on. ~ User:Ameliorate!  (with the !) (talk) 07:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I can't count. ~ User:Ameliorate!  (with the !) (talk) 11:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
