PearBOT II 9
Operator:

Time filed: 23:43, Tuesday, August 11, 2020 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available:

Function overview: Add or modify XfD tags

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): User talk:Trialpears

Edit period(s): On request

Estimated number of pages affected: Very variable

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

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

Function details: Having to add, remove or modify hundreds or thousands of XfD notices is a quite common issue and we currently don't have a bot for it. It is also a very simple task with it just involving simple prepending of the tag at the top of the page or a simple search and replace to remove or modify. I would like standing approval for any additions, removals or modifications (change display type update dates, etc) at any XfD venue. I do think a speedy approval could be appropriate here as well due to the very low complexity. A specific case involving ISO 639 name templates can be found at my talk page.
