From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BannerBot is a bot built to seek out articles which have recently added the {{WPSchools}} template and catalogue them. Ideally, this bot will be made more general so that any assessment template could use it.

Basic Operation

[edit]
  1. This bot will use the "What Links here" for {{WPSchools}}
  2. It will record all tranclusions and check them against it's previous record.
  3. It will then print the names/links of each new article to a log page for human viewing
