Objective
The ((Current)) and ((Current related)) templates are used to alert editors that articles that are connected to a current event and receiving so many edits in a short period of time that edit conflicts are likely, and that the information within the article may not be up-to-date. Unfortunately, some editors are unaware that the templates are not to be used simply to mark topics that happen to be in the news. Additionally, whether applied correctly or not, the templates sometimes remain in place well after the event when editing slows down to manageable levels.
At present, the way that forgotten ((Current)) and ((Current related)) templates get removed from articles is by editors going to the template's page, selecting "what links here" or Category:Current events, reviewing each article that the template is transcluded onto, and removing the template from those articles with few recent edits. This process is onerous and error-prone.
The CurrentPruneBot assists in the detection and removal of forgotten ((Current)) and ((Current related)) templates. It does this by regularly scanning for the template in article space, looking at the article history for the date and time of the last non-bot edit for each article with the template, and editing the article to remove the template if two or more hours have passed since the last non-bot edit. It leaves an edit message referring editors to the template's page and reminding editors that the template is to be used for articles experiencing rapid editing, not for marking topics that happen to be in the news.
Done Come up with a policy/guideline for the current templates that can be linked to in the summary. This might simply involve rewriting Template:Current#Guidelines.
