Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB, regexes given below, quarry:query/64398
Function overview: Blank inactive talkpages of inactive IP addresses and add {{ Blanked IP talk}}
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#MalnadachBot_--_owner_indeffed,_what_now? Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/MalnadachBot_13
Edit period(s): One time run, will return six months after run is complete to request a rerun
Estimated number of pages affected: Unknown, but less than the original BRFA
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No
Function details: With MalnadachBot no longer available I'm offering to pick up one of it's approved tasks and run it. Task 13 for MalnadachBot was how I learned to use the more advanced features of AWB.

The bot will edit IP talkpages which meet the following conditions -
The IP talkpage has not received edits in the last 5 years The IP address is not currently blocked (including range blocks) There have been no edits from the IP address in the last 5 years List of pages that meet this criteria will be fetched using quarry:query/64398. Since there are millions of IP addresses to check, I will be fetching pages by targeting smaller range of IPs at a time so that the query will not time out.
The pages in the list will be matched using AWB's find and replace in advanced mode. The regex used is .*\n* → . This regex will match everything and replace it with nothing, thereby blanking the page. Then AWB's append function is used to add {{ Blanked IP talk}} and the edit will be saved.
