Operator: Anomie⚔

Time filed: 18:53, Saturday September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual: Automatic, unsupervised

Programming language(s): Perl

Source code available: User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/BAGBot.pm

Function overview: Manage the list of past BRFAs at WP:BRFA#Denied requests, WP:BRFA#Expired/withdrawn requests, and WP:BRFAA.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): periodic

Estimated number of pages affected: WP:BRFA, WP:BRFAA, and archives of WP:BRFAA

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes

Function details: The bot will do the following:

• When moving a denied request to WP:BRFA#Denied requests, it will remove any requests after the first 15 that are older than 7 days (i.e. the list will contain 15 entries or all entries less than 7 days old, whichever is greater).
• When moving an expired or withdrawn request to WP:BRFA#Expired/withdrawn requests, it will remove any requests after the first 15 that are older than 7 days (i.e. the list will contain 15 entries or all entries less than 7 days old, whichever is greater).
• When adding newly-approved requests to WP:BRFAA, it will move the <noinclude> barrier such that the list displayed at WP:BRFA#Approved requests will contain 30 entries or all entries less than 7 days old, whichever is greater. Also, requests older than 1 year will be moved to an archive and WP:BRFAAA will be updated if necessary.

Discussion[edit]

I've been meaning to do this for a while, and finally decided to actually do it. I can easily enough change the parameters if consensus dictates. Anomie⚔ 18:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Not specifying any time/edit limits. Have it run until the cases above have occurred. Would speedy, but trying to avoid any more "approved 5 minutes after creation" issues. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 18:56, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the "requests older than 1 year will be moved to an archive and WP:BRFAAA will be updated if necessary" part will take until 2012-01-01. Anomie⚔ 19:02, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I meant the ones before the end of the world :) The rest are.. irrelevant. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 19:19, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving of denied requests: [1]. Moving of <noinclude> on WP:BRFAA: [2]. Fixed the miscounting in the latter, so in the future it will really show 30 instead of 31 when transcluded. Anomie⚔ 18:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving of expired/withdrawn requests: [3]. Anomie⚔ 02:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This would be an appropriate bot for speedying in a few minutes. Its task is limited in area, the bot operator is experienced and known to be responsible in responding to problems with his/her bots, the task will be well-monitored by other bot operators for problems. persecutorially yours, --72.208.2.14 (talk) 06:12, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. All in order, trusted botop, limited scope, non-controversial task. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 07:25, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
