User:Apostrobot

This user account is a bot operated by Ilmari Karonen (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.
Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it.

This account is a bot run by administrator Ilmari Karonen. It is currently inactive.

The sole function of this bot so far has been to watch the recent changes feed for distinctive edits made by a specific vandalbot, revert them and report them to WP:AIV. As measures have since been taken to prevent the vandalbot from editing in the first place, this appears to no longer be necessary.

The code for this bot is written in Perl using POE (specifically POE::Component:IRC and POE::Component::Client:HTTP). I'll post it publicly as soon as I've managed to clean it up enough to make it readable. (The current code is very much a "one night hack".)
