Time filed: 04:09, Thursday September 5, 2013 (UTC)
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: GitHub
Function overview: Creating the following day's current events subpage Creating subpages and subcategories based on dates
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Request from previous task operator; previous BRFA
Edit period(s): daily
Estimated number of pages affected:
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): N/A, it either skips if the page exists, or creates the page
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: As I said i the function overview, it creates the following day's current events subpage. It should continue to use the same page text and title format as the previous bot (which has now stopped) has used. Hazard SJ 04:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I've just become aware that DumbBOT has also gone offline, seemingly crosswiki, ad I'd like to take over User:DumbBOT/CatCreate, as well as other such possibilities as necessary in the future. Hazard SJ 04:54, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Approved for trial (5 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — Earwig talk 05:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- Started with tomorrow's set, then did today's as well. The others will follow over the period. Hazard SJ 08:37, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Trial complete., the only issue I'm aware of is that it missed a run, likely due to the Labs issue advertized on WP:BON, but I've also added better support for that. Hazard SJ 02:51, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
- This is an inappropriately filed request. Hazard-SJ said he was doing Item 2. I was doing item 3. So why is this request dealing with item 3, filed after I said I was taking over the task and after I filed my BRFA? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberpower678 (talk • contribs)
- I apologize about your issue, I was actually unaware of your request and had forgotten about your note on WP:BON (I had actually remembered about the task because I had received 28bots source code via email, and looked at the talk page where an issue of the task not being done was raised). I remembered that I'd considered doing task 2, though at the time, the bot was still running, then shortly after that thread o the talk page came to my attention about the bot not running, I noticed another bot, DumbBOT, which had gone inactive, with a similar task (I actually noticed from on Commons, where that was raised, but already replaced, and I checked here and decided to take it on too, since the operator is inactive), which is why I later modified the original request to make it general enough and to take the others on.

- We're all humans, so it happens, but can you suspend task 3?—cyberpower ChatOffline 03:12, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Done in this commit. Hazard SJ 03:17, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
