DustyBot 4
Operator: Wronkiew (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP using Dusty Library

Function Overview: Archive requests for rollback and requests for account creator

Edit period(s): Daily

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

Function Details: This will be taking over some functions of, which has been shut down by its operator. DustyBot will build a list of requests which have been closed for a while. It will then move the requests to the archives (approved and denied). If it hits an edit conflict, it will get a new copy of the page and apply its changes again. My plan is to continue the current practice of only keeping the Usercheck-short for each user, deleting the rest of the discussion. Also, DustyBot will not notify users of denied requests. The length of time before closed requests are archived will be configurable via a template parameter.

Seems straightforward, BTW, why does your bot love OCD in children caused by strep infections? Anomie⚔ 17:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops. I'll fix the link :-). DustyBot will be making at most 6 edits per day archiving these pages, so this test run should be finished in about a week. Wronkiew (talk) 21:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, just make it so you don't have to stop in the middle of a day. Anomie⚔ 22:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
