User:ProcBot/PurgeList/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This bot task will purge pages either at regular intervals, or on absolute dates per year. This page is the purge list for that. To have the bot purge a page, add it to the relevant section below using the correct template. Changes to the list may take up to 15 minutes to be registered by the bot.

Note that a page can be added to the list multiple times. e.g. if you want a page to be purged 3x a year on particular dates, you can add three entries for that page.

Regular purges

[edit]

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge|PageTitle|Interval|IntervalUnit}}

Interval can be any positive integer. IntervalUnit can be "minute", "hour" or "day".

Example:

{{/purge|User:ProcrastinatingReader|15|minute}}

This will purge User:ProcrastinatingReader every 15 minutes.

Dated purges

[edit]

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge-absolute|PageTitle|Month|Day}}

Month and Day can be any positive integer.

Example:

{{/purge-absolute|User:ProcrastinatingReader|5|7}}

This will purge User:ProcrastinatingReader on the 7th of May each year.

Category purges

[edit]

The bot can purge all members of a category, including their links and categories.

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge-cat|CategoryTitle|Interval|IntervalUnit}}

CategoryTitle should include the namespace. Interval can be any positive integer. IntervalUnit can be "minute", "hour" or "day". Be reasonable with intervals, especially for larger categories. Optionally, you can add |type=once to make it only purge the category once and never again.

Template purges

[edit]

The bot can purge all transclusions of a template.

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge-once|TemplateTitle}}
