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. |
The point of this bot is to keep WP:PP updated and to archive fullfulled/denied WP:RFPP requests.
Main Tasks
= Approved at requests for approvals.
A) 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 page data and then lists/delists protected pages. Every half hour mark (i.e. "2:30" ect...) it checks for pages to delist and at the beginning of each hour it checks for pages to list.
- B) This bot also automatically cleans up WP:RfPP. It makes it so that each "current" section can have no more than 3 consecutive 8+ hour old fullfilled/denied requests. They are moved to the fullfilled/denied section, which can only have no more that 15 requests unless they are less than 12 hours old. The extra ones are removed. Additionally, entries with certain formatting mistakes are fixed.
Other Tasks
- A) If an admin protected a non-user/user talk 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.
- B) This bot keeps the list of admins JS list variable up to date at User:VoABot/adminlist/monobook.js. This avoids slower and more server using HTTP request checks when users get history stats from User:Voice of All/History/monobook.js.
