Purpose

[edit]

The purpose of this bot is to monitor WP:AIV, WP:UAA and associated subpages, and check if reported users are blocked. If the user is blocked the bot will remove the entry with an edit summary explaining why, for how long, what type of block, and how many remaining reports are left. The bot also has several other, related tasks:

  • Combine multiple entries for the same user/IP address
  • Add and remove the {{adminbacklog}} template as needed
  • Mark IP addresses in special IP ranges with descriptive comments
  • Reset the instruction block as necessary when it is changed

Monitoring

[edit]

This specific instance of this bot is being monitored by a Nagios system. The following things are being monitored:

  • The time since my last edit is checked every 5 minutes. If I have not edited in 6 hours my owner will be sent an e-mail.
