Appearance
OreBot is a proposed use of TedderBot to maintain the contributors list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon, based on a long discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon#updating our contributors list.
Requirements
[edit]- Manually adding oneself to the project (this is always acceptable for WP users in good standing; regardless of past inactive status, you will not be removed for
3 months6 months) - Any member who is inactive on Wikipedia for
3 months6 months will be moved to "inactive" by an automated process, and notified with a message that invites them to add themselves back - Any member who makes no edit to an article tagged by WP:ORE for
6 months12 months will be moved to "inactive" by automated process, and notified as above. - When instituting this policy, all members will be moved to "inactive" and a roll call will be taken, to give us a nice fresh start.
Actual actions by the bot
[edit]- Configurable terms (currently set at 6/12 months)
- One-off "invite all members" message to user talk pages
- List of users to exclude from being moved to inactive ("member at large", "member emeritus", "friends of WikiProject Oregon", or something similar)
- Check user contrib history for:
- Most recent edits to Wikipedia
- Most recent edits to a WikiProject Oregon page (by checking article talk page for banner, or using category list- TODO category)
- Tedder, if you're not aware of it, there's a list of all Oregon articles. Might make things easier? It's what we use for the RSS feed on wikiprojectoregon.wordpress.com. I can track it down if you have trouble finding it. -Pete (talk) 23:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'm aware of it (Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Admin)- it's manually updated. Perhaps it needs a bot of its own! tedder (talk) 23:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
