This user has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia. (see: block log · contributions · current autoblocks) |
This user account is a bot operated by Lightmouse (talk). 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 This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.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. |
This is a bot. Please do not leave messages here, contact the owner at User talk:Lightmouse. Messages here may be removed unread.
Tasks
[edit]The primary purpose of Lightbot is to improve the use of units of measurement.
- Edits may add conversions to units e.g. "The engine weighs 160 pounds" -> "The engine weighs 160 pounds (73 kg)"
- Edits may edit format or spelling e.g. "200 Tons (180 MT)" -> "200 short tons (160 t)"
- Edits may add or remove links e.g. "160 pounds (73 kg)" -> "160 pounds (73 kg)".
Other tasks may be performed, but these will usually be secondary. Approved tasks are listed at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Approved_requests.
