Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, probably manually started.
Programming Language(s): Perl, using Perlwikipedia and WWW:Mechanize and Net::SMTP
Function Summary: To assist in Wikipedia:Request an account, including archiving and checking if an account exists.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): I can't see it being run more often than hourly
Edit rate requested: 10 edits per hour, if that.
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: Gets and parses Wikipedia:Request an account for a full list of requests, determines if it exists, if so, it removes that request. If the account was created by a user (not an IP) it archives it as complete. There's a 2 second wait between checking requests, to avoid killing the servers and to avoid error 500.
Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. This seems pretty straightforward and I see no issues with it. Remove invalid entries and archive completed ones. Specifying a time limit or edit count for this trial wouldn't seem to apply, so just make sure that there are enough edits to see both invalid entry removal and automatic archiving. Post your results here so we can check them over and approve the request. -- RM 13:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC) reply
Question: What is the status of the trial period? -- RM 12:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC) reply
Special:Contributions/AccReqBot shows that the bot is making multiple edits to the same pages within one minute - is it not possible to cut down to just one edit to each page per run, so making fewer page requests and so reducing the frequency of (wikimedia) server errors?

The bot's last edit to Wikipedia:Request an account/May 2007 appears to be incorrect and was reverted by another user. -- RM 12:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC) reply
