It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |

What it does
[edit]- Note: This section does not reflect the bot's current duties-- it's merely here as a rough overview.
- EyeBot is a Recent Changes patrolling bot that looks for changes to the Image: namespace.
- EyeBot tries to determine, based on where the image is linked, and more importantly, whether the image looks like another image.
- If it finds significant similarity, depending on the situation, it will take appropriate action.
- For example, potential copyright issues found by image search will be tagged as such.
- Reuploads of images for deletion images within a small timeframe will be tagged as well.
- It runs continuously (except, obviously, for maintenance).
Status
[edit]- The bot is under heavy development and is not currently ready for mainspace edits.
- Awaiting approval for userspace edits.
