Approved.

SoxBot V

Operator: Soxred 93

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP

Function Summary: Update User:Soxred93/numingroup with a {{#switch:}} command, switching the number of users in a bunch of user groups.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Every 6 hours

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

Function Details: I plan to include User:Soxred93/numingroup onto Template:USERSINGROUP, a way to count how many users are in user groups. So far, it is how many bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, rollbackers, accountcreators, and ipblock-exempts there are. A user would type {{USERSINGROUP|checkuser}} to return the current amount of checkusers. The bot would just post on User:Soxred93/numingroup something like this:

{{#switch: {{{1|}}} 
|admin = {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} 
|bureaucrat = (number) 
|checkuser = (num) 
|oversight = (num) 
|rollbacker = (num) 
|accountcreator = (num) 
|ipblock-exempt = (num) 
|#default = 0 
}}
