Operator: Bjh21 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: Creating and updating reports as subpages of User:Geograph Update Bot relating to images from Geograph projects.

Automatic or manually assisted: automatic, unsupervised

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Periodic runs, up to weekly

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): Less than one edit per minute

Programming language(s): Python

I'm not sure if this requires authorization, but I'm applying to be on the safe side. This task is intended to allow the bot to collect information about images from Geograph projects on Commons and to write that information into subpages of its own user page. These will generally be detecting anomalies that are hard to find using Special:Search. In the past I've manually updated User:Bjh21/images rejected from Geograph and User:Bjh21/duplicate Geograph IDs by hand based on the output of a script, but it would be simpler to have the scripts directly update wiki pages. --bjh21 (talk) 14:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
