If that page is a redirect, edit that original redirecting page, not the target of the redirect. Administrators: if this bot continues causing harm after receiving a message, please block it or remove from the approved accounts. |  |

Tasks
[edit]To request any of these tasks (or others) be done please for your project leave a note here.
Approved Task 1 is to substitute all user talk templates that were not correctly done so and to tag article talk pages for WikiProject Ohio and other projects by request.
- Approved Task 2 is the sending out of any user talk related messages for WikiProjects. i.e. Newsletters, meet-up notices, ect. (Will deliver to any page in the Talk: namespace)
- Approved Task 3 involves automated requests for images. This is done by either adding a template such as {{reqphotoin}} or
{{reqphotoin|sportspeople}}or by adding a parameter to a WikiProject banner such asimage-needed=yesif no image is on the article page. This can also be done for pages that contain images such as SVG flags or Image:Cricket no pic.png.
- Approved Find articles missing coordinates and add {{coord missing|Country Name}} or if possible {{coord missing|Country Subdivision}}
Opting-Out
[edit]- If you save welcome templates in your user space for personal reference or other reasons and do not want the templates substituted please add
{{bots|deny=ShepBot}}to said page.
- I will ignore any bot exclusion templates when delivering newsletters or other messages that a user has subscribed to.
