SoxBot IX
Operator:  Soxred  93 

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP

Function Summary: See below in function details. It will work alongside BAGBot.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Continuous

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

Function Details: This bot task will be using a IRC<->onwiki mechanism. All requested functions noted on IRC will be performed onwiki by the bot.
 * I have a way to add archiving to the bot, meaning that if a BRFA has BotTrial in it, but the BRFA template still says it's open, then it moves it to the Trial section.
 * If a BAG member says,  ,  , or   on IRC, then it adds the relevant tags such as BT and BB to the pages.

You are hereby entitled to run the new bot with the new function summary for a period of 5 days. Report back here when complete. — E  ↗TCB 03:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * See test here. The IRC archiving bot is working, also testing the archiving.  Soxred  93  23:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just can't find out how to do it feasibly. So therefore, it is only the IRC commmands, and if I find out a way, I'll fill a BRFA later.  Soxred  93  23:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Should at a message at the bottom before the BB saying something like "$action via IRC from $bagmember" so somebody wanting to check the status doesn't need to grep through the history to see who approved it. Q  T C 23:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it should, and it does now.  Soxred  93  23:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there any update on this? It has not been approved, therefore should not be running. — E  ↗TCB 20:37, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It was approved for trial...  Soxred  93  22:10, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For 5 days only, on the 7th July, which means it was to close on the 12th... How is it going by the way? — E  ↗TCB 06:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's going well, and actually, I never started the bot until the 16th. Soxπed93 (blag) 17:19, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm confused, this BRFA is for SoxBot IX where the trial is running on SoxBot X... can you clarify? Per the edits on the other account, it looks good. Clarify the above, then I'll feel like approving. — E  ↗TCB 09:56, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That was a mistake, I used code from another bot script (RFRBot), and forgot to change the username. Soxπed93 (blag) 15:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I assume the trial is long-since done now. How'd it go? – Quadell (talk) 12:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * D ...just tried to archive a request and there is no bot in the channel! What's going on? — E  ↗TCB 04:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It needs to be restarted occasionally, I'll fix that later. Strike that, next week. Soxπed93 (blag) 05:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You should make it kill the script after say 72 hours then restart. — E  ↗TCB 05:41, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Just let us know when it's ready. – Quadell (talk) 13:29, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

OperatorAssistanceNeeded Any updates? – Quadell (talk) 12:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Finally found some time to work on it. X clamation point  01:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Is this ready? Mr.Z-man 03:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
