Task 2 work checklist for making the bot do a bit more work automatically which is the entire damn point of a bot:
Make bot find page move history and hunt for archives under old pages (task job)
- Implement the ability to find page move history (backend job) (Should never accidentally get it wrong. Can't be sure about bad-faith tries to screw with it though)
- Implement the ability to get page history (backend job)
- Automatically move archive pages under new name (task job)
- Implement the ability to move a page (backend job)
Don't be scared to just fix it if there are 0 subpages and move history brings nothing up, assuming that its just vandalism / new but bad archive (task job)
- For the one, I'm just gonna say "no page move history? Eh, ask for manual input, you never know". All the changes above make this a good enough improvement anyways, and plus it'll still fix edit vandalism (cause the archive pages will still exist under where we want them to)
Extra:
- Look into &assert=user (not urgent or task-2 relevant, but redundancy is cool)
tl;dr being scared is fine but right now its excessive, plus we should start moving more pages cause thats 95%+[citation needed] of the problems to do with this stuff
