DeltaQuadBot 8
Operator:

Time filed: 05:32, Saturday, April 4, 2020 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: Ever changing code

Function overview: Handles tasks related to WP:UTRS.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Bots/Requests for approval/UTRSBot, Bots/Requests for approval/DeltaQuadBot 7

Edit period(s): Continuous

Estimated number of pages affected: infinite

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

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

Function details: Right now, the bot is only in the building phase alongside UTRS 2.0, but to test if it is working correctly while I'm coding, I will need to take live actions. I will attempt to limit the disruption, if any, and undo any edits that are just testing functions. The bot will need to do the following:
 * Send email - To both administrators & users through the Special:EmailUser interface
 * Edit user talk pages - eventually taking over from
 * Use the API - to access information about blocked users
 * Eventually edit the appeals table User:DeltaQuad/UTRS Appeals

I seek prior approval to run testing only edits for the time being, and then will request a full trial when we are ready to accept appeals on UTRS 2.0. I seek approval now as some of the edits could accidentally be disruptive, but they will be minimized. Also there is a new aspect to this approval than prior ones with the use of email.

Discussion
This is limited to development only and another trial will be required prior to approval. Trusted bot op and former arb. There is no time limit on this trial. -- The SandDoctor Talk 05:38, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
