Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: affected links can be seen here
Function overview: Replacing HTTP links with HTTPS links in template-protected pages, when available
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/KolbertBot
Edit period(s): continuous
Estimated number of pages affected: A few hundred thousand
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Requesting the template-editor permission to edit protected templates. Previously, I have made edit requests to templates but in most cases the bot will be able to make the appropriate changes, if not the change will be skipped and a manual edit will be needed.
A user has requested the attention of a member of the
Bot Approvals Group. Once assistance has been rendered, please deactivate this tag by replacing it with
{{
t|BAG assistance needed}}
.
Given that there have been no comments for well over a month, and there has been an exemption added to the bot to "skip" over "Template:Did you know nominations/" pages, I think it's OK to add the right to the bot, barring any other concerns.
