Tasks: What the bot does

For another overview of the tasks done by this bot, including inactive tasks and links to the relevant BRfAs, see User:Kingpin13/bots. This bot currently does, and is approved for, the following tasks:

• Tagging pages for CSD G7:

If a page which has previously been nominated for speedy deletion is blanked completely by the creator, then this bot will mark it for deletion under G7.

• Replacing speedy deletion tags:

If a page which has been nominated for speedy deletion has its speedy tag removed by the creator of the page, this bot will replace the tag (if it was nominated under G10 then the bot will blank the page in the process) and warn the user.

Reasons for not editing a page: Wondering why a page wasn't edited when the tasks suggest that it should have been?

There are several reasons that this bot wouldn't edit a page, some being:

• It won't replace author request (G7) tags.
• It doesn't read all the speedy deletion templates (please ask if you want a criterion or template added to the bot, or are wondering if it knows about one).
• It only patrols certain namespaces.
• It won't re-add a tag placed in the wrong namespace (e.g. a {{db-u2 }} tag in the namespace of template).
• It won't replace A7, A1 or A3 speedies if the article has become substantially bigger since it was nominated.
• The page may have had its deletion tag removed before the bot had a chance to register it.
• It may not have been running at the time.
