Misplaced Pages editing bot run by Voice of All | This user account is a bot operated by Voice of All (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
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.
If an admin protected a page without a summary, it will not be listed on WP:PP, that is part of the D.P. filter. Such admins will automatically be notified. It will re-add this warning if it is deleted to quickly, since it only checks a)how long ago the protection was and b)if the message is already there. It will not "know" if someone removed it.
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)
Known Issues
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
Auto archiving of WP:RfPP (or just section removal as usual).
This bot (or an VoABot2 most likely) may, in the future, check specified pages for banned users that are still editing (it will do an IP range check) and revert them. It will check every 5-30 minutes, depending on the page.Voice-of-All 21:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
