Mets501's Userpage • Talk page • Contributions

This user account is a bot that uses AutoWikiBrowser, operated by Mets501 (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 This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.
To stop this bot until restarted by the bot's owner, edit its talk page. If that page is a redirect, edit that original redirecting page, not the target of the redirect. 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 or remove from the approved accounts.

MetsBot is used for template substitution, replacement, and addition, diacritical mark corrections, commenting out and removing deleted images, and various category tasks (renaming, moving, deleting, etc.). It will only run when it is initiated by Mets501, its owner.

Tasks edit

The approvals for these tasks are located in the following pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Templates		Diacritical marks
This bot substitutes templates listed at Wikipedia:Template substitution#Templates that should be substituted and template deletion debates that end in "substitute and delete". It also changes links to templates that are moved (such as per the WP:GUS), and adds templates to different articles requiring them.		This bot adds diacritical marks to words that need them and other such trivial tasks.
Images	Categories		Double redirects
This bot removes from articles images that are speedy deleted or deleted because of IFD, and comments out images deleted because the copyright or source is unknown after the image has been tagged as such for seven days.	This bot performs various category-related tasks, including category renaming, deletion, and addition.		MetsBot fixes double redirects listed at Special:DoubleRedirects and through manual input.

How this bot works edit

This bot runs on the pywikipedia framework for a few tasks, AutoWikiBrowser for some, and C# for the rest.
