Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: Pywikibot
Function overview: Automaticly notify editors when they add CS1 errors to a page.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 87#Bot to notify users when they add CS1 errors, Wikipedia:Bot requests#Bot to notify users when they add CS1 errors
Edit period(s): continuous
Estimated number of pages affected: ~100/day
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: The bot willl detect when pages are added to Category:CS1 errors: missing periodical, Category:CS1 errors: generic title, Category:CS1 errors: missing title, and Category:CS1 errors: bare URL (though more categories may be added in the future). It will then check if the categories are still present after 15 minutes (to allow the user time to fix mistakes), and then post a notice on their talk page, notifying them of any error categories added, as well as how to fix the errors. See User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/CS1 errors for some basic examples of how this would work.
