This is a simple bot to clean up the huge userbox backlog Here. It will use AutoWikiBrowser and will only run when I give it the instructions.
For example it will replace {{User diy}} with {{User:Holek/Userboxes/Do It Yourself}}
It pretty much does the same job that Botdotcom bot does.
It is operated only by me, Andeh.
I could do this task on my current account but feel it would be better opening a separate account to do it.
When the backlog is cleaned up, I will request an administrator to block the account indefinitely. If I decide to give it another function, I'll request it here first before requesting the account to be unblocked.-- Andeh 11:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Request to substitute vandal warning templates, such as {{test}} with {{subst:test}} and {{test2}} with {{subst:test2}}. And will be made to only edit in User talk space. And possibly in the future, other templates mentioned here.
My userbox replacing has gone near-perfect and the bot has only made 1 erroneous edit [1] which I fixed immediately [2] and made the adjustments for the bot to continue working correctly.-- Andeh 08:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Updating categories which have been renamed due to discussions at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. So just replacing old categories to new ones, so the old ones can be deleted.-- Andeh 18:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Automatic or Manually Assisted: manually given tasks
Programming Language(s): (AWB?) <--yep, same as usual
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): anytime, whenever I tell it to
Edit rate requested: X edits per TIME, well I don't really mind, but the backlog is pretty big so at least 5 per min, maybe higher at off-peak times.
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): don't mind, all edits will be marked as minor so people can filter them out, but if i'm going to be changing article categories probably best if it was flagged.
Looks like you will likely be needing a bot flag with all these tasks, unless your edit rate requested above will be low. — xaosflux Talk 22:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC) reply
