Function details: The Bot will loop through articles in Category:Stub-Class military history articles and re-assess each one using autoCheck - the same rules as the AutoCheck run, which assesses based on our b1 to b5 criteria, with assistance from ORES. Each daily run will process 1,000 entries. Edit summaries are tagged with "AutoStub" in case they have to be rolled back or rechecked. A checkpoint file is created by each run. When a run starts, it checks the checkpoint file and resumes from there. when it reaches the end, it deletes the checkpoint file, which will cause the next run to start again from the top. Articles reassessed as B class are flagged for human checking.
