Approved.
Operator: After Midnight
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Start each run with manual assist and then automatic from there
Programming Language(s): AWB
Function Summary: Categorization work per CFD
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): as needed to fulfill requests at CFD
Edit rate requested: 5 edits per minute
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: AMbot will run with AWB. I will start each run manually to confirm function and edit summaries and then will switch to automatic mode. I will take instruction to delete categories or recategorize based on instructions at Wikipedia:CFDW. I will also be able to do some tasks which normally would require manual editing, such as those found at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/Manual#Multiple merge targets. I have already tested this functionality in AWB manually, by previewing edits only, but have pressed ignore on each and have not actually made any edits.

edit Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. up to 100 edits. Martinp23 21:27, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have completed 36 edits, one run was for a multiple rename target, the other was for a simple rename. One of the edits is out of order due me clicking ignore once instead of save. User contribs is currently seriously lagged, so it may be a while before the edits show up in the bot's contribs. --After Midnight 0001 22:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Multi-merges come up with some regularity on CFD, therefore a bot like this would be very useful. Thanks AM! >Radiant< 13:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
