SvickBOT 2
Operator:

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic

Programming language(s): C#

Source code available: No. I could publish or make opensource the code if anyone wanted.

Function overview: Update WikiProject Medicine/Dermatology task force/Articles created.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Once a month.

Estimated number of pages affected: 1: WikiProject Medicine/Dermatology task force/Articles created

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): No.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No.

Function details:

The bot gets list of articles of the Dermatology task force (from Category:Dermatology task force articles), finds out their creation dates and saves them to WikiProject Medicine/Dermatology task force/Articles created.

I don't think this bot actually needs approval, but WP:BOTPOL seems to claim it does. Also, I don't think there is any need for a bot flag for this bot, so I don't care whether it will be given to it. Svick (talk) 19:24, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Discussion
I'm inclined to speedily approve this. One edit, to one clearly defined page, once a month? Highly unlikely to cause any problems. Are there any objections from other BAG members? &mdash; The Earwig   (talk)  20:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
