Operator: Messedrocker
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): Python (pywikipedia)
Function Summary: I quote from its user page: "The function of the MessedRobot II is to raise attention of discussions that are taking place on the lesser-well known areas of Wikipedia. By tagging a discussion page with {{ wider attention}}, the MessedRobot II will heed and proceed to add that page to its list, which can be transcluded onto pages including the community portal, user pages, and possibly more!"
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Runs every five minutes
Edit rate requested: One edit every five minutes
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: Whenever the bot runs, it evaluates what pages have {{ wider attention}} on them and then adds them to the list on {{ wider attention list}}. When the tag is removed from the page, the bot removes the page from its list. It's fairly simple.
Can't you just have the template place each page in a category? --( Review Me) R Parlate Contribs @ (Let's Go Yankees!) 03:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC) reply
At this point, the bot has made over 100 edits. It works just fine, it is used in many places, and it even has a home on the toolserver. Full-time bot? MessedRocker ( talk) 08:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC) reply
