Operator: [[Sam Korn]] ^(smoddy)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP, using Pillar

Function Overview: Per Quadell's request, add or remove ((ffdc)) and ((deletable image-caption)) to image captions as appropriate

Edit period(s): Daily

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

Function Details:

The process is almost identical to Sambot 11; indeed, the code for the FFD part is the same, but for the substitution of the appropriate page names. The other part of the task goes through the following categories:

• Category:Wikipedia files with no copyright tag
• Category:Wikipedia files with unknown source
• Category:Wikipedia files with unknown copyright status
• Category:Wikipedia files with no non-free use rationale
• Category:Disputed non-free Wikipedia files
• Category:Replaceable non-free use Wikipedia files
• Category:Orphaned non-free use Wikipedia files

It then gets each of the daily categories, goes through each page and adds ((deletable image-caption)) as appropriate.

Code here and here

Trial complete. 50 edits. One problem -- dropping a square bracket in this edit -- the mistake has been fixed.

A minor change has been made to the code -- the bot will no longer make edits when they will not show up, i.e. when neither thumb nor frame is present in the link. [[Sam Korn]] ^(smoddy) 21:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I looked over the code, and it's so beautiful I'm crying. (Well, I mean, it looks good to me.) – Quadell ^(talk) 00:22, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

•  Approved. er... I guess that's a good thing! Anyhow, we know what to expect here, and I can't forsee any problems. Obviously, keep an eye on it and such, but you've made it easy for me at least to decide. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 16:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
