Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic. Supervised some of the time.
Programming Language(s): AWB
Function Summary: Finds and removes "test edits" from articles. Such as instances where a user has saved '''bold text''' into an article or created a <gallery> of Example.jpg. Has the ability to remove the text created by single, individual presses of the formatting buttons and some other more complex ones (caused by multiple presses).
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Randomly, probably daily.
Already has a bot flag (Y/N):
Function Details: Full details can be found at User:AmeliorationBot. The queries used to create the list can be found there also.
How are the lists of articles to check generated? BJ Talk 00:10, 16 July 2008 (UTC) reply
You might want to manually review these. Often people just click the buttons and save, so finding more than one (e.g. Link titleBold textSubscript text) is common. Mr. Z-man 00:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC) reply
Okay, I have made some changes and it is now able to detect every standard formatting button press as well a few of the instances of multiple-presses (table inside a blockquote for example). I manually ran it and there wasn't an instance where I had to change anything before pressing save, here's some examples: [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]. At the moment, I don't think anyone is doing what I want this bot to do, as there are tonnes of articles with messy test-edit markup on them that sits there for months: [17]. ~ Ameliorate U T C @ 12:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC) reply
