Function overview: notify users that the thread created by them at Teahouse has been archived
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): python
Source code available:
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): multiple venues, in short, taking over Muninnbot's task.
Edit period(s): daily
Edit rate requested: 1 edit per 70 seconds, to give admins/editors enough time to stop the bot in case something goes wrong by removing "run" from User:KiranBOT/teabot
Estimated number of pages affected: ~20 per day
Namespace(s): user talk
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): yes, will respect {{nobots}}, and {{bots|deny=KiranBOT}}
Function details: the bot would run daily to check if archival has taken place by going through 700 latest revisions. In case an archival has take place, the bot would find out new sections created, and and their creators, and substitute the message from User:KiranBOT/Teahouse archival notification. The bot also has a mechanism to avoid repeated notifications of the same thread archival. The code is ready, and has been dummy tested. Requesting a one-run trial (that would be around 40 edits). —usernamekiran (talk) 13:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
