Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: supervised
Programming language(s): Python (Pywikibot)
Source code available: Main UrbanBot code repository Source code for task
Function overview: Bot will scan through draft articles looking for headings that duplicate the page title
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): User:Urban_Versis_32/Hot_Tips#Duplication_of_headers_on_drafts (Permalinks to drafts with duplicate headers)
Edit period(s): Whenever the program is run
Estimated number of pages affected: Unknown, but any article in the draft namespace with a duplicate header including AfC submissions
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No
