Operator: Boris Tsirelson ( talk)
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): Python (Pywikipedia)
Function Overview: Help maintaining Catalog of articles in probability theory.
Edit period(s): One time run, probably once a week or so, operated by me (for now).
Function Details: Reads source text from "Talk:Catalog_of_articles_in_probability_theory/Source" organized like User:Tsirel/Catalog source, formats it and rewrite the "Catalog of articles in probability theory" page.
If this only needs to be done once per week, it is only updating a single page, and you will be starting it manually every time, I don't see why you need a separate account. You could just output to a temporary file, and update the page under your own account as a script-assisted edit. Perhaps, after several updates and all the bugs are worked out you could safely run it as an automated process and request approval for a bot task. Wronkiew ( talk) 22:23, 14 March 2009 (UTC) reply

I encountered a minor problem on the first run of the bot; namely, I did not bother about categories indicated on the bottom of the "Catalog"; they got lost, and I was forced to undo the edit made by my bot. I modified the code accordingly. After that, all went to plan. Boris Tsirelson ( talk) 19:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC) reply
