User:Scepbot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bot's on wikibreak as I've lost the entire pywikipedia folder with the python scripts in, and I don't want to have to rewrite the two I wrote. Sceptre (talk) 08:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

edit   About

This is a bot for the English Wikipedia mainly fixing double redirects. The bot is automatic, and checks the double redirect every thirty minutes.

The bot uses the code in the redirect fixing library in m:pyWikipedia. As such, I do not have direct control of the code, but I can understand it (but not write fluently in it - the bot was set up to automate my tasks in fixing redirects).

If you are unable to move a page because my bot has edited the target page, this is not the bot's fault. - the bot only fixes redirects, and cannot understand why it was moved. Instead, ask at Wikipedia:Requested moves to get it fixed as soon as possible. Will (talk) 17:12, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
