Automatic or Manually Assisted: autonomous
Programming Language(s): Python, Perl
Function Summary: Beside working on interwiki links (see initial request) and doing the update of Template:Popular_articles (see request), I request an approval for editing also Template:Linked on Google News with my bot, see this discussion. This request is very similar to my second request, actually this request should be covered by the previous one already; but this one is just for not getting blocked randomly.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): continuously (template update: hourly)
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: Updates Template:Linked on Google News hourly, see idea.
Approved for trial (1 days). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Looks very similar to previous, and only updates one template, once an hour. Let's see it. – Quadell ( talk) 13:04, 25 June 2009 (UTC) reply
Are you done with the trial? It's kind of hard to go through the diffs for this task, what with all the interwiki that the bot also does. – Quadell ( talk) 18:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC) reply
Approved. Mr. Z-man 04:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC) reply
