DustyBot 5

Operator: Wronkiew (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): PHP using Dusty Library

Function Overview: Archive reviews at Wikipedia:Editor review

Edit period(s): Daily

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

Function Details:

DustyBot will maintain the WP:ER page and its archives. It will take over closing reviews, listing reviews in the archives, and notifying users that their reviews are about to be closed. Reviews will be closed when these conditions are met:

Open for 30 days
Not edited in 7 days
Marked as reviewed

DustyBot will notify editors of impending closures. It will not close a review until at least 3 days after the notification. The minimum review time (default 30 days) and the inactivity time (7 days) will be configurable by anyone. Source code for this task can be found at User:DustyBot/dusty_er.php.

Discussion

I'm not too familiar with WP:ER, so I'm not sure if automatic closure is appropriate or not. I see you gave notice at Wikipedia talk:Editor review, and it looks like it was well received. I'll give it a little time to see if anyone has a problem with it. – Quadell ^(talk) 20:42, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (7 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Okay, let's fire it up and see if it works. – Quadell ^(talk) 19:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beginning tests. Wronkiew (talk) 03:44, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had to revert this bot edit because it didn't follow the current WP:ER archiving policy. The fix for the bug is now in the online source file. Wronkiew (talk) 04:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made an additional change to check for a  comment after receiving feedback from an editor who didn't want their review page to be automatically archived. Wronkiew (talk) 01:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A bug in a regular expression caused DustyBot to leave two closed reviews on WP:ER because they had parentheses in the titles. This is fixed and I removed the reviews manually.

Trial complete. Out of time on the 7-day trial. Wronkiew (talk) 04:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Looks like it's working great. – Quadell ^(talk) 17:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
