Philosopher-Bot

Operator: Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.}

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Supervised Automatic

Function Summary: Implements "Delete", "Replace", and "Merge" requests at WP:CfD.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): I'll run it when I close a CfD or when I notice a backlog at WP:CfD/W.

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

Function Details: Uses AWB's category tool for most cases, though its find and replace feature will be used in cases such as this where the category is being placed by a template. These edits are identical to edits I've often done with my main account using AWB - just that it isn't practical to do the large quantities of edits required for some CfDs manually. (Category tool example; Find and replace example)

Discussion

What will be the bot's edit rate? and don't we already have CanisRufus, Cydebot, Fluxbot, Kbdankbot, RoboMaxCyberSem and Xenobot working on this at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working? 124.183.149.81 (talk) 12:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
