- This bot will alter every article found in this category, which is currently over 3000 articles.
- The only thing that it will do to these articles is add a single space to the end of the article. This will cause the MediaWiki software to recategorise the article, which will remove it from the above category if it no longer meets the requirements.
- This bot will not delete anything.
- This bot will not move anything.
- This bot will not create any pages or categories.
- There is no antidote to this bot as the change it causes is negligible. Even if this bot somehow broke loose from the category listing and edited every single page in the entire wiki in this manner, no harm to content would be caused. In any event, this is highly unlikely. Testing shall demonstrate that the bot will confine its activities to articles in the named category, and that the only edit is appending a space.
- The edit summary shall read "Category jog for Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. Give feedback."
- The Constabulary shall be notified in advance before the Bot is run. This button shall be placed on it's user page to allow any SysOp to deactivate the Bot with a single click.
