Sandbot1.py

This task runs every minute. It checks if the following sandboxes have the \{\{tl|Sandbox heading\}\} template;

If the template is not present on the sandbox, it prepends \{\{xt|\{\{tl|Sandbox heading\}\}

\}\} to the page.

If the template is present, it does nothing.

Sandbot2.py

This task runs once per hour. It clears the sandboxes by replacing the content with the sandbox header, which looks like this:

\{\{subst:X1/sandbox/sandbox header\}\}
