Mr.Z-bot 3
Operator: Mr.  Z- man 

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Python

Function Summary: Removing Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages from pages tagged with Do not delete

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Semi-regular basis

Edit rate requested: Standard pywikipedia throttle on page save (8 seconds?)

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

Function Details: Pages in CAT:TEMP are userpages and user talk pages of users who were blocked with one of the indef block uw-Xblock templates, Template:Indefblockeduser, or Template:Temporary userpage. Pages tagged with sockpuppet tags are not supposed to be deleted, and all the sock puppet tags contain Do not delete, making creating a list of these pages fairly easy. When I last checked there were 775 pages, listed here. This task used to be done by User:Pathosbot. Mr.  Z- man  01:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Discussion
This seems to be a very straightforward and simple task. I don't see any immediate concerns with it. Are you using the exact same program as pathos? SQL Query me! 02:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of. Right now it just removes the category if it is a subst'd template (the uw-block ones) or Template:Temporary userpage and adds the |historical parameter for Template:Indefblockeduser and all of its redirects. I don't know of any other template that adds pages to that category (all the uw ones should be subst'd). After I go through the list I'll see what it missed. Mr.  Z- man  03:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Let's see what she can do.  SQL Query me!  03:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 350 edits. Mr.  Z- man  04:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I just checked 20 random diffs, and they all look okay. Are there any objections to this task being approved? — Werdna talk 13:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
