User:TedderBot 3
Operator: Tedder

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, unsupervised (cron)

Programming language(s): perl

Source code available: yes, GitHub, here

Function overview: Collate two lists containing all pages belonging to WikiProject Oregon to enable article and nonarticle recent changes lists. Replacing manual process.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon/Archive 11 (alert)
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon (second alert)
 * User talk:TedderBot/AOP (centralized discussion of interested parties)

Edit period(s): Once daily

Estimated number of pages affected: 2 pages in mainspace (WikiProject Oregon/Admin, WikiProject Oregon/Admin2) plus log in userspace

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): No. Looks for "do not run" flag on userspace (User:TedderBot/Bot status). Not editing outside of these three pages.

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

Function details: This is very straightforward and limited in scope- the bot looks for backlinks to Template:WikiProject Oregon and Category:WikiProject Oregon pages, sorts and transforms the list, and outputs it to /Admin and /Admin2. The log is then posted to User:TedderBot/AOP/log. tedder (talk) 23:02, 16 January 2010
