HermesBot
Operator: Wikihermit

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic - Unsupervised

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Delivers template messages.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One Time Run

Edit rate requested: 10 edits per Minute

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

Function Details:The bot will be used to deliver templates to specific pages. For example, if X has a newsletter, a category would be created of users who want want the newsletter delivered. I would go into AWB --> Make List --> Category --> then that category would be made into a list. Next I would select the "More" tab on AWB and select "Append." I would add the template to append in the text box below that, and depending on the Wikiproject's wishes, would or wouldn't add "subst:". I would use the same idea for Wikiprojects if I needed to add a template like WikiProject Radio or another onto a talk page.
