This is my bot. If it starts making erratic changes, please discuss the issue with me, or, if I am not available, block it, but disable autoblock and let me know so I can fix the errors. Thanks.
Tasks[change | change source]
Task 1[change | change source]
- Template substitution. Will substitute templates that should be substituted.
Task 2[change | change source]
Task 3[change | change source]
- Finds broken external links. Checking for broken external links, and reports them. It will only report dead links if they have been found offline at least two times, with at least one week of waiting between the first and the last time. It will then output these broken external links to a text file, which I will post on wiki. These broken external links can then be fixed with Checklinks on toolserv
Task 4[change | change source]
- Interwiki standardiszation. Tidies up interwiki links.
