CZ:Bot status

This page is meant as a place to organize information concerning bots and scripts. Its purpose is to allow any Citizen to request the creation of bots or scripts, and to help the author of a bot to provide the documentation required to get permission to run the bot. Constables will create an account once all of the failsafe procedures have been accomplished, which shall be detailed at CZ:Application for bot accounts. It is also meant to be a place for anyone to leave feedback or requests concerning needs and activities of bots.
Ultimately, this page is meant to be governed by CZ:Bot policy but as long as that policy is still being worked out, this page serves to gather practical experience with the policy, and may be adapted when some rough edges therein are being polished during the process. As your bot works its way through the approval process, move it under the appropriate heading.

Currently saving the request will add it at the bottom of the page, therefore copy the template and add it manually at the end of the "New bot request" section. (Or should it be at the top?)

Modify_Active_Editors_lists Purpose Modify the lists of Active Editors in the Workgroups so as to delete newcomers who not yet made any contribution. Currently they are included as being active because they have not been members long enough to be inactive for a long period. Daniel Mietchen has said he will develop this bot when he has time. Milton Beychok 19:42, 1 October 2009 (UTC) Account {{{Account}}} Documentation Test Results Approval Feedback There is a manual option to achieve this goal if you can wait three months — if new CZ Editors were not automatically assigned the category Category:CZ Editors but rather something like Category:New CZ Editors. A bot would then be required, however, to transfer them to either Category:CZ Editors or Category:Inactive CZ Editors after three months. In addition, a script could speed up the switch from our current to the new system (should it be adopted), acting much in the sense Milt proposed, but only once. --Daniel Mietchen 06:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC) edit
