 | This user account is a bot that uses PHP, operated by Wbm1058 (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. The bot is approved and currently active – the relevant request(s) for approval or tasks can be seen here. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
 | This bot runs on Wikimedia Toolforge. It runs on the billsbots tool account (k8s-status · k8s grafana). Task 8 runs exclusively on Toolforge. Tasks 3, 4, 5, and 7 run on both Toolforge and my PC. Administrators: If this bot needs to be blocked due to a malfunction, please remember to disable autoblocks so that other Toolforge bots are not affected. |

- When I filed my bot request for approval, I did not know whether AWB was exclusion-compliant. Now, I have found the answer.
- Put {{bots|deny=AWB}} on the top of any page that you don't want AWB to edit.

Tasks
editTask 3 was converted from AWB to PHP. Tasks 3, 4 and 5 run hourly on my desktop PC, at the top of the hour.
Tasks 3, 4 and 5 also run hourly on the Toolforge jobs framework, at 40 minutes past the top of the hour. Commands I used to start this hourly run:
wbm1058@tools-sgebastion-10:~$ become billsbots
tools.billsbots@tools-sgebastion-10:~$ cd php
tools.billsbots@tools-sgebastion-10:~/php$ toolforge-jobs run unsynced-dab-redirects --command "php ./php/unsynced-dab-redirects.php" --image php8.2 -o ./logs/unsynced-dab-redirects.log -e ./logs/unsynced-dab-redirects.log --schedule "40 * * * *"
Task 6 runs monthly on my desktop PC, on the 12th of each month.
Commands to start task 7 on Toolforge:
wbm1058@tools-sgebastion-13:~$ become billsbots
