Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DinoSizedBot
Appearance
Operator: Android Mouse
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): C
Function Summary: This bot simply keeps Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/dinosaur articles by size up to date.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Daily.
Edit rate requested: Approximatly 1 to 2 edit per day
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: This bot will scan all articles (excluding several subcategories) in Category:Dinosaurs and load their sizes. Once it scans through all the needed articles it will update Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/dinosaur articles by size with the article sizes. That is the only page it will ever edit.
I ran a limited test and let it make one edit on the sandbox, no apparent problems. Not much more testing will be needed since this only updates one (non-article) page. --Android Mouse 21:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
