IndentBot is a
bot that helps
screen readers reading discussion pages by reducing
list gaps and mixing of list markers (e.g. *
and :
). The bot watches
recent changes looking for
signature-adding edits to discussion pages.
The bot considers pages from the following namespaces: Talk, Wikipedia talk, File talk, Mediawiki talk, Template talk, Help talk, Category talk, Portal talk, Draft talk, TimedText talk, and Module talk. Pages in the Wikipedia namespace are considered if they contain at least five signatures. DYK nomination pages are considered. User talk pages are considered if they include IndentBot in the allow
parameter of the {{
bots}} template. Most sandboxes will be ignored.
