Cyberbot I

• Cyberbot I (talk • contribs • count • logs • page moves • block log • CA • email)

Hello everybody, with some guidance from Snowolf, I am here to request the bot flag for this wiki. Cyberbot I is a complete replacement of SoxBot. SoxBot used to clean the sandbox here but now that the editor retired, the bot has become inactive. It's written in PHP and can clear the sandbox every 5 minutes or daily depending on how it's preferred here. If you have any questions,don't hesitate to ask me.—cyberpower ^Chat_Hello! 13:04, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Cyberpower, thank you for offering to take up part of SoxBot's multitude of tasks. Just a couple of questions:

• I believe the clearing rate for SoxBot as per its the contributions was twice as day, so that could be a good start. Meta isn't quite as active as the English Wikipedia in terms of an impossible to track Recent Changes feed, so every 5 minutes would be far too frequent.
• Also, please could you confirm that it will do exactly the same task as SoxBot - am I correct to presume it's an exact copy of the code (with the exception of changes for Cyberbot's username and password)?

Thanks again for giving your time to take over part of SoxBot's role. The Helpful One 14:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Of course yes. It is an exact copy of SoxBot code with a minor change where enabling and disabling the individual tasks is implemented.—cyberpower ^Chat_Hello! 15:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
