Blakebot edit

Operator: Wpusers

Automatic or Manually assisted: Fully automatic, with the possibility to manually override the bots behavior if desired.

Programming language(s): Python

Function overview:

Query Wikipedia API every X minutes (Idea: 5-10 min ish) for new pages

If bot is cold started, fetch newpagelist with the last X (Idea: 25-50) pages. (See: Note 1)
If the bot is running, only fetch the list of new pages since the last visit.

If the bot has found any new pages, load the page content and start to parse it.

Bot will parse the content to determine if any maintenance tags have to be placed.

If there is a need to place a maintenance tag, add the tag to the article, and resume with the next article.

Edit period(s): Continuous

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): (Not applicable, new bot)

Function details:

- - If the page is deleted under G7 (author request) no one gets a message as I see that as overriding other concerns.
  - If the page is userfied or redirected, no one gets a message.
  - If the page is deleted and the admin does not reference CSD criteria in the deletion summary no one gets a message.
  - If an admin deletes a page and cites multiple criteria, editors who added a tag corresponding to any of the criteria in the admin's deletion reason will not get a message.
