 | This user account is a bot operated by Inductiveload (talk). It is not a sock puppet but rather a legitimate alternative account, used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |

Bot vitals[edit]
- Creator/operator: Inductiveload
- Mode: Manual or Semi-automatic, and always supervised. Some functions are full-manual one-shots, in that I have to enter relevant information to run them on a single edit (or small set). Others are semi-automatic, in that once the first few edits have be made and manually checked, it will be permitted to continue.
- Operation: Intermittent. This bot does not patrol for edits to be made.
- Maximum edit rate: no more than 10 per minute for simple edits. Less for complex edits or edits needing intervention.
- Language: Python (pywikipedia)
MC stats curation[edit]
This bot also runs the WS:Monthly Challenge operations. This is documented here Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/How it works and is limited to maintaining the statistics and keeping categories consistent.
