MenoBot 3
Operator:

Time filed: 00:23, Friday June 7, 2013 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: Standard AWB

Function overview: Automatic substitution of user talk templates, similar to Bots/Requests for approval/Xenobot 2. See also Category:Template substitution bots

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): daily

Estimated number of pages affected: Max of a few hundreds per week

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: A very simple and easy task. I would like to use AWB to substitute user talk templates listed on AutoWikiBrowser/User talk templates. AWB has a built in module to substitute templates and we already have a number of bots doing such task. I will run AWB daily for this task. --Meno25 (talk) 00:23, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Will the bot be namespace restricted? Will the bot subst redirects to the templates listed at AutoWikiBrowser/User talk templates?  ·addshore·  talk to me! 11:08, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes and yes. I will restrict the bot to user talk namespace and it will substitute any template redirect listed on that page. I am waiting for permission to make a trial run. --Meno25 (talk) 11:22, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Strangely enough. I couldn't find any pages to work on. All the template transclusions are on user pages or user talk archives (which I am hesitant to edit). I can't make a trial run since it seems that all the work is done by other bots, so, I will withdraw my request. --Meno25 (talk) 18:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
