Rd108ExampleBot1[edit]

Operator: Rd108 (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually Assisted

Programming Language(s): Python

Function Summary: The bot retrieves categories for queried articles.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): the bot will not be editing anything on en.wikipedia.org, just reading. This is a bot that I will use to gather the urls of categories of a queried article. I hope to also read links to other articles cited within the queried article at a future time.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: Full details available at (TO BE UPDATED in format User:IcalaniseBot/LongPeriFix) including rationale, evidence of support, and lists of diffs created by running tests on my local machine to verify the code is doing what I expect it to be doing.
