This was an automated account operated by
WJBscribe which had
sysop access, allowing it to perform a fairly simple maintenance task - deleting
redirects to deleted and non-existent pages per
CSD R1. To ensure that it only deleted broken redirects without useful histories, it was limited to deleting pages that had only one revision in their contribution history. This bot was active from October 2007 to December 2008.
