Function details: User:RMCD bot appears to have stopped working (as of 00:00, 20 November 2012), and its operator cannot be contacted. This has left a void in the redirect process; currently they appear to be updating everything manually. I've taken the bot's code and integrated it into the WolfBot framework; other than making it work with the rest of the code I haven't changed it at all. For the moment I'm leaving the references to RMCD Bot in the code alone; if Wbm1058 (the owner) doesn't show up in a week or so I'll assume they've vanished and start moving all the references to RMCD Bot (including templates & documentation) over to WolfBot.

 * I'm back from a trip out of town and my bot is running again. Though it was running running reliably since it was approved in August, Murphy's law bit me the first time I had to leave it running unattended on my Windows 7 machine for an extended period. My anti-virus posted some incomprehensible error message, hopefully just a one-time problem, I'm updated to the latest version now. Wbm1058 (talk) 13:52, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Since the other one is working. &mdash; Wolfgang42 (talk) 14:35, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, both of you, for your interest in helping maintain RMs. DrKiernan (talk) 14:37, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
