Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): TypeScript on Node.js
Source code available: GitHub
Function overview: Purges drafts so that Category:AfC G13 eligible soon submissions appears populated
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Archive_45#Bot_running_required_to_take_over_from_User:Joe's_Null_Bot, Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/NovemBot_5
Edit period(s): Hourly
Estimated number of pages affected: 874 on first run, variable after that
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Simple bot that precisely figures out the pages needing a purge (see
quarry:query/77493) and only purges them.
It's not clear if the existing AfC purge bot operated by
User:ProcrastinatingReader works. As of writing there are 874 pages that should have been in
Category:AfC_G13_eligible_soon_submissions but are not.
Approach used by the existing bot is to try purge all pages in AfC categories which are too many in number so has caused issues. The approach followed here is more scalable, and also avoids triggering a re-purge if ProcBot has already been through them. Purge pages which are listed on
User:SDZeroBot/Purge list.
Approved for trial (30 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I realise this has no tangible output, but I suppose that's kind of the point. As long as it's doing what it should be doing, and not what it shouldn't be doing, I have no issues with approving this at the end of the trial. Primefac ( talk) 09:18, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply
