Automatic, Supervised, or Manual:
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: Standard pywikibot
Function overview: The purpose is to assist with necessary cleanup as described at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): On demand, to comply with
Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions and to improve disambiguation and linking throughout Wikipedia.
Estimated number of pages affected: Zero net for redirect.py (duplicates scheduled bots); hundreds for the manual dab scripts depending on the pages moved and my time spent on additional maintenance.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No (removed for inactivity)
Function details:
I have a few questions about the proposed tasks here. Is function (1) different to existing bots that fix double redirects; do we have a specific need for a bot to help with the requested moves? Further, functions (2) and (3) appear to be scripts or tools and not bots. The definition of a bot, from WP:BOTPOL is: After launching the bot, an assumption can be made that there is no further need for human decision-making. It appears that you would be making each decision, and that is therefore not a bot. TheMagikCow ( T) ( C) 09:07, 20 June 2017 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial (100 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Since it doesn't make too much sense to leave a double-redirect task half-done, you can do up to 125 edits total for the purpose of finishing out whatever redirect situation you're fixing when you hit 100. ~ Rob13 Talk 00:52, 21 June 2017 (UTC) reply
