Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): PHP

Source code available: https://tools.wmflabs.org/botwatch/source.php?file=parse.php

Function overview: After an AIV report hasn't been acted on in 6 hours - it is stale, and should be removed.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): [1], [2], [3]

Edit period(s): Continuous

Estimated number of pages affected: 1

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No

Function details: SQLBot would remove AIV reports (and associated comments) after the parent report is 6 hours old.

I would run the bot every 30 mins looking for these reports.

Tests can be seen at: [4]

Changing User:SQLBot/AIVStop from "go" to anything other than "go" results in the bot stopping (page is full protected)

Discussion

@JamesR: any concerns with conflicts to User:HBC AIV helperbot5? — xaosflux ^Talk 12:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Should the bot be simply removing stale requests, I do not believe this will cause any issues. Can we trial this as part of the BRFA to be sure? — JamesR (talk) 22:51, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

@JamesR and Xaosflux: - Yep, the only plan is removing stale requests. In the future I may look at removing declined requests as well, but that'll be a different BRFA (and require more discussion) SQL^{Query me!} 01:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

From the test edits, it looks as if a declined request has been so for the time limit, it would be removed just the same, yes? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 10:57, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
