Operator: Android Mouse

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, but monitored

Programming Language(s): C

Function Summary: This bot adds the {{trivia}} tag under Trivia sections to articles which don't already have the tag.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Continous

Edit rate requested: 5 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: I currently have the bot written to check and add the tag to articles in Category:The Simpsons episodes, since this category is reported to have many articles with trivia sections. Eventually I plan on implementing a more efficent way of finding untagged articles rather than scanning every article in a given category. Possible ideas include scanning a database dump to creating specialized google requests.

Discussion

My only concern is duplicate tagging, if you've fixed that, then Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. for 50-100 pages. --ST47Talk 10:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
