 | This
user account is a
bot that uses
Python, operated by
Ceradon (
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. This bot was previously approved but has since been retired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |

Cerabot, a portmanteau of Ceradon—the bot's operator—and robot, is a multipurpose robot designed to edit Wikipedia doing various tasks. It speaks fluent Python and works at the speed of lightning! For now its purview includes dating maintenance tags (which is a very lucrative task, you know) but that will expand soon enough. Due to mine own indecision, Cerabot has suffered several name changes. ( WP:CHUU link here)
Tasks
| Task # | Details | Date | BAG member | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ( approval here) Search for articles on other-language wikis and place the articles in the form of interwiki links on the articles on the English Wikipedia. For this the bot used prepackaged Pywikibot code. |
approved 1/23/2012 |
Kingpin13 | Inactive |
| 2 | ( approval here) Fix and maintain double redirects. For this the bot used prepackaged Pywikibot code. |
approved 1/28/2012 |
Kingpin13 | Inactive |
| 3 | (
approval here) Date maintenance tags on articles. The bot searches
Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month for articles that need to be dated. It trawls through the actual text of pages using
an insanely powerful Python wikicode parser made by
The Earwig. There are several ways Cerabot knows to date templates:
|
approved 3/3/2013 |
Addshore | Active |
| 4 | ( request here) Notifying article creators/expanders that their article has been nominated for Did you know? to be featured on the Main Page. Expander isn't actually a overly-broad term here; it is anyone who has contributed 10 edits or more to any particular article. Once the creator/expanders has been notified, a {{ BotComment}} is left on the DYK nomination page indicating this. | Withdrawn | Withdrawn | Inactive |
