Estimated number of pages affected:

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Like its predecessors, it cleans sandboxes. lowercase sigmabot II has been down for about 2 3 days, so I intend to take over by resetting the sandboxes hourly (or if otherwise requested). I have this bot running on mediawikiwiki:Project:Sandbox and nl:Wikipedia:Snelcursus/Probeer maar... already.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  02:50, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Have you contacted Sigma about this, to check why the bot is down? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 06:52, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was something to do with his own state of inactivity. I spoke to him the night I created this BRFA, but I'm not sure he plans to get the bot back up very soon.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  21:06, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Approved. Since Sigma apparently isn't around and this is a rather obvious task, I don't see any problems as long as the bots don't step on each others' feet once they're both running. — Earwig ^talk 03:46, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
