Flow cleanup bot (talk • contribs • logs • rights • global account)

I would like to run an adminbot to delete around 6000 empty Flow placeholders with no useful content. See more details at Topic:Yff64fw5rwjmc3ld * Pppery * _{it has begun} 22:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Confirming this from the bot account. Flow cleanup bot (talk) 22:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The code I'm using to find pages to delete is at https://public-paws.wmcloud.org/46222050/Flow.ipynb. I haven't written the part to actually do the deletion yet, but I'll probably use some library like Manual:Pywikibot/delete.py to delete a pre-generated list of pages.

The existing deletions and moves I've been doing with my main account were of pages generated by other versions of the same listmaking code, but I did manually review each page before deleting/moving it. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 22:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, we need this bot to archive most Flow boards in advance before the date when all Flow boards are archived. ToadetteEdit (talk) 18:58, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Last call for any other crat to implement this. Otherwise I'll grant the rights myself in a day or two. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 01:16, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Granting permanent bot status and temporary adminship for 3 months; under the principle of least access we should not grant the access for longer than needed since this appears to be a one-off task.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:09, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
