This is a bot, that is, a program that interacts with the Citizendium website like a human editor. Bots are useful for repetitive tasks that do not require judgment. This particular bot account is run by User:Jitse Niesen and helps with the conversion to the subpages system described at CZ:Subpages.

In case things go wrong, the bot can be stopped by leaving a message on User:Subpagination Bot/Emergency stop. If that does not help, constables can stop it by blocking the account. It would be appreciated if you could leave a short note on User talk:Jitse Niesen so that the matter can be resolved promptly.

This bot is written in Python using the pywikipediabot library.

Tasks

There is only one task planned and the bot is completing it at the moment. See the task page for details.

  • Task 1: the conversion of checklisted articles to the subpages system.
