Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): C#
Function Summary: Restores intro text on Wikipedia:Introduction and Wikipedia:Introduction 3
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Continuous
Edit rate requested: One edit per min
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: AVB used to monitor the Introduction header text, and restore it whenever it was removed. For some reason, MartinBot can't do this (although the code is there, I have to assume that some subtle modification needs to be made). To fix this, I've written a seperate bot in C#. If the header text is remvoed from Wikipedia:Introduction, the bot will re-insert the text, without blanking the page. If any edit is made to Wikipedia:Introduction 3, it is reverted immediately by the bot, removing all existing text and replacing it with only the header text. This bot is running now, so see its contribs for an example of how it is working.
Just one note - for now, the bot doesn't leave user warnings, but this could change in future.. Mart inp23 14:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Trial complete - everything went well, and a few suggestions for improvements to the bot were made. As of half way through the trial, the bot has been fully reseting Introduction (1) when replacing the intro text, as the rubbish was still piling up quite quickly there.

I just did another "vandalism" of
Wikipedia:Introduction 3, and checked out
Wikipedia:Introduction, and all seems well. Approved. --
