Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): PHP
Source code available: https://tools.wmflabs.org/botwatch/source.php?file=parse.php
Function overview: After an AIV report hasn't been acted on in 6 hours - it is stale, and should be removed.

Edit period(s): Continuous
Estimated number of pages affected: 1
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Function details: SQLBot would remove AIV reports (and associated comments) after the parent report is 6 hours old.
I would run the bot every 30 mins looking for these reports.

Changing User:SQLBot/AIVStop from "go" to anything other than "go" results in the bot stopping (page is full protected)
Discussion
edit- @JamesR: any concerns with conflicts to User:HBC AIV helperbot5? — xaosflux Talk 12:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Should the bot be simply removing stale requests, I do not believe this will cause any issues. Can we trial this as part of the BRFA to be sure? — JamesR (talk) 22:51, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @JamesR and Xaosflux: - Yep, the only plan is removing stale requests. In the future I may look at removing declined requests as well, but that'll be a different BRFA (and require more discussion) SQLQuery me! 01:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- From the test edits, it looks as if a declined request has been so for the time limit, it would be removed just the same, yes? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:57, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- This is true - declines that aren't removed within 6 hours would be auto-removed as stale. I think the part that seems different to me is having the bot remove declines on the very next run. SQLQuery me! 23:56, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (200 edits or 15 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — xaosflux Talk 15:56, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, I set the bot to shut off after 200 edits, or 15 days - whichever comes first. SQLQuery me! 20:41, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete. (Timed out @ 15 days long before hitting 200 edits), @Xaosflux: - diffs for every last edit can be found at User:SQLBot/Trial6, or quarry:query/25979. Bot is shut down until approved or further trial is requested. SQLQuery me! 05:40, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @SQL: looking good, question on operations: are the edits that will be made for task going to include or avoid asserting the bot parameter? (i.e. Is it desirable for them to show up on RC/Watchlists?) — xaosflux Talk 15:58, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Xaosflux: I would not want to hide the edits from RC / WL - so at this time I wouldn't want/need the bot flag. SQLQuery me! 16:04, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Approved. task approved, to run unflagged. — xaosflux Talk 17:05, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
