About VoABot
This bot automatically updates the semi-protected, full-protected, move-protected, and the other (non-article/non-user/non-image) lists at WP:PP. It extracts the data, hourly, from the protection log and lists pages. Every half hour mark (i.e. "2:30" ect...) it checks for pages to delist and at the begining of each hour it checks for pages to list.
Contrubitors
I wrote the script by and large, though I templated some code from an autoAFD lister by User:Johnleemk.Voice-of-All 20:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

If a user listed a page starting with a lowercase letter, it will list it again (with a capital first letter) and it will not delist the lowercase starting one.

Also, while this bot is programmed to filter out deleted article protections, it still sometimes can't tell the difference. Do NOT bother removing them, contact User:Voice of All and report the incident; there may be a permanent solution that will filter out similar entries in the future.
Future abilities
Eventually this will update the usertalk, user and move protected page lists on WP:PP...later...
- Move protect list update done, summary string fixed now.Voice-of-All 02:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
