Function overview: Update Wikipedia:Dusty articles
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): Probably once a week.
Estimated number of pages affected: 2: Wikipedia:Dusty articles/List and Wikipedia:Dusty articles/Updated
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): No
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No
Function details:
The list at Wikipedia:Dusty articles was updated by User:DustyBot until February when it stopped working. This bot will perform the same function – it creates a list of articles that weren't edited the longest (excluding disambiguation pages) based on database dump and current data from the API and publishes 100 of them. The original bot was updating the page every day. I think that's unnecessary and once a week is enough.
I have already tested the bot: [2]. Svick ( talk) 15:06, 27 June 2010 (UTC) reply
Bots may not be tested outside of the bot's or operator's own userspace until after a trial has been approved. Anomie ⚔ 15:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC) reply

then that's meant only for the case when the bot reaches the newest edit from the dump, to keep it from entering infinite loop. Approved. No issues with the trial.
