SoxBot 14
Operator: X clamation point

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP

Function Overview: Removing REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD from old AFDs

Edit period(s): Every 3 days

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

Function Details: This bot will go through all AFDs that transclude REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD. It then looks at the first edit date, and checks if it's more than 2 weeks old. If it is, then it removes the template. Should not be a major task.

Discussion
Is there a chance that a 3-week old AFD could be not actually closed for any reason? Anomie⚔ 02:11, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoops, that was a typo. I meant 2 weeks. And there actually could be a chance, if it's relisted a lot. If that's the case, I'll also have it check for the archival template at the top of the page. X clamation point  02:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Checking for the archival template sounds like a much better idea than an arbitrary time limit. Doing it that way, I can't see any objection. (just for good measure). Anomie⚔ 02:25, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

How's it going? Have you had time to test this? – Quadell (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been busy with other stuff. I'll get the 10 edits now. X clamation point  22:18, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ten edits done. X clamation point  23:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like everything went according to plan. Anomie⚔ 01:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
