Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, unsupervised
Programming language(s): Perl
Source code available: User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/DeletionSortingCleaner.pm
Function overview: Replacement for User:The wubbot
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WP:BON#Who wants more work?
Edit period(s): A few times per day
Estimated number of pages affected: Depends on how many AfDs are sorted and closed.
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes
Function details: Periodically check the AfDs transcluded on the various deletion sorting subpages listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Compact. First, the templates ((at)), ((afd top)), ((afd bottom)), and ((afd-privacy)) are substed in the AfD if necessary. Then the bot checks for <div class="boilerplate metadata
(just as The wubbot did), and if found it removes the transclusion from the deletion sorting page and adds it to the corresponding archive page.
Additional AfD templates may be added to the subst list as needed. In addition to the standard bot exclusion, if ((bots|optout=AnomieBOT/DeletionSortingCleaner))
is found on a deletion sorting subpage then the bot will stay off that page. Anomie⚔ 01:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If the task has operated under a different bot before there shouldn't be problems with it. The trial should be given to iron out any bugs in the code itself. FinalRapture - † ☪ 17:47, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
