Purpose

[edit]

The purpose of this bot is to monitor WP:AIV, WP:UAA and associated subpages, and check if reported users are blocked. If the user is blocked the bot will remove the entry with an edit summary explaining why, for how long, what type of block, and how many remaining reports are left. The bot also has several other, related tasks:

  • Combine multiple entries for the same user/IP address
  • Add and remove the {{adminbacklog}} template as needed
  • Mark IP addresses in special IP ranges with descriptive comments
  • Reset the instruction block as necessary when it is changed
