User:X!/Sox Commons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I run multiple bots. They are shown below:

Task Disable {{bots}} Approval Description
SandBot Here Green tickY Approved March 19, 2008

Cleans out the sandbox occasionally.

One of these two conditions must be met to replace the sandbox:

  1. The current time is 12:00 or 00:00 UTC
  2. The header has been removed or modified

If you would like to create another sandbot, I would like to request that you integrate it with User:X!/Sandbots.css, so the two bots can work seamlessly on the pages.
