Operator: Dylan ( chat, work, ping, sign)
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, unsupervised.
Programming Language(s): JavaScript
Function Overview: Notifying admins and XfD-goers of redirects of pages being nominated for speedy or normal deletion.
Edit period(s): 24/7, 'round the clock.
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: OK, I have another idea (and if this doesn't go through, I'm withdrawing the request outright). My new function for the bot relates to WP:CSD and WP:XFD. Some admins may view from my deleted contribs that I've been tagging broken redirects for speedy deletion lately. After about 5 minutes, a bot would scan Special:WhatLinksHere for redirects to an article for deletion, and would post about those redirects at the XfD page. See User:Dylan620 Bot/Message/doc for how this would be used. -- Dylan 620 Efforts · Toolbox 19:11, 11 April 2009 (UTC) reply
You'll need to find an operator who is already an admin. Wronkiew ( talk) 15:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC) reply
The new task seems reasonable. Some of the redirects might have content in their page history that we might want to keep. How will you handle those? Wronkiew ( talk) 20:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC) reply
