Tasks approved by the Bot Approvals Group
Automatic or Manual: Automatic.
Programming language(s): Perl.
Source code available: Yes, updated.
Function overview: Mirror of CorenSearchBot, which has been offline since 31 December 2011.
Edit period(s): Continuous.
Estimated number of pages affected: At most three edits per new page created, hard limit of twelve edits per minute (further edits are queued).
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): No.
Function details: Mirror of CorenSearchBot, which has been offline since 31 December 2011. CorenSearchBot has become invaluable to WikiProject Copyright Cleanup and the Suspected Copyright Violations patrollers; unfortunately, no one's been able to contact Coren recently (regarding the bot or even ArbCom matters). According to the source code, the bot is not exclusion compliant, nor would it be appropriate for it to be.
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic.
Programming language(s): PHP.
Source code available: No.
Function overview: Generates Wikipedia:Inactive administrators reports; delivers messages and e-mails inactive administrators as appropriate.
Edit period(s): Twice monthly.
Estimated number of pages affected: 3 + 2 * (# of inactive administrators)
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): No.
Function details: At the beginning of the month, the bot will identify all users who meet the inactive administrator criteria (no edits or log actions for at least twelve months) via a SQL query. A report will be generated in the appropriate section of [[Wikipedia:Inactive administrators/yyyy]]. The bot will then deliver and send the boilerplate talk page message and e-mail to all identified users and update the report to indicate it has done so. (So bureaucrats are assured that the users have been notified appropriately, the bot automatically forwards the copy of the e-mail it receives to wikien-bureaucrats@lists.wikimedia.org with all headers intact.) One week before the beginning of the next month, the bot will deliver and send the "imminent" talk page message and e-mail and update the report to indicate it has done so.
