EarwigBot I 4
Operator: The Earwig

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, unsupervised

Programming language(s): Python, Pywikipedia

Source code available: User:EarwigBot I/Source

Function overview: The bot puts time and reviewer information in the WPAFC template on every accepted AfC article in Category:Accepted AfC submissions.

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: 4,750

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes (per standard Pywikipedia distribution), even though it is irrelevant for this task.

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

Function details: This task is essentially a duplicate of EarwigBot I's fourth task (BRFA). While Task 4 dealed with declined submissions that were missing a timestamp, this will deal with accepted submissions that are missing a timestamp and information about who accepted the submission. It will add the information to the end to WPAFC on the article's talk page, just as Task 4 added information to the end of AFC submission. The source code is also very similar. See a quick discussion about this at User talk:MSGJ. Because of the similarity between tasks, would a speedy approval be possible?

Discussion
Fast tracking seems okay for a bot with the same task, different area, already approved and a bot owner appearing to work well with the community. That's my opinion. --69.226.103.13 (talk) 16:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
