SoxBot 18
Operator: X!

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic

Programming language(s): PHP with Pillar framework

Source code available: Not yet

Function overview: Adding parameter to talk page templates.

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Roughly 1800

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): N

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

Function details: Per this botreq, this bot will go around through all pages in Category:WikiProject EastEnders articles, and will get the text of each one. If it detects the presence of a listas parameter, it skips the page. Else, it adds it to the EastEnders project class template.

It's not exclusion compliant, seeing at the Pillar framework does not yet support it.

Discussion
The Pillar framework does support exclusion compliance, as far as I can see; can you not call checkexcluded('SoxBot') on each page before you modify it? &mdash; madman bum and angel 20:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to see source code, especially as I'd understand it, but you're an experienced bot operator. Please make this task exclusion compliant, then you are. &mdash; madman bum and angel 03:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
