MuZebot 2

Operator: MuZemike (talk · contribs)

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: N/A

Function overview: Automatic WikiProject notifications on members' user talk pages in the form of announcements, dispatches, or newsletters.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Whenever the situation arises, it will be run one time through only.

Estimated number of pages affected: Depending on the size of a WikiProject's membership, normally between 20 and 500.

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): N/A

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function details: There's not too much else that wasn't already mentioned in the above function overview. If there is something that I or someone else in a WikiProject is coordinating that requires an announcement to be sent to all of its members, I can run my bot and automatically notify all members on their user talk pages with whatever announcements need to be made; the same applies to if someone else would like to make an announcement to the project, and it makes sense to notify the entire project's membership about it and such request is within reason and good faith. This task would specifically restrict the bot to the user talk namespace and would not affect any other namespace.

Default AWB settings in which user talk pages with {{bots}} or {{nobots}} on them are ignored will be used. –MuZemike 21:27, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an uncontroversial task, I plan to approve this tomorrow if there are no objections and I'm not beat to it :D - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 21:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will note that this would have my bot fall under Category:Newsletter delivery bots, so I'll expand the purpose to newsletter delivery and any other important dispatches even though I'm currently not doing anything newsletter-related for any project. –MuZemike 21:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Approved. No problems. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
