User:RMCD bot
Wikipedia editing bot run by Wbm1058
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This bot account is responsible for maintaining the Wikipedia:Requested moves process. This includes:
- Maintaining Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions, the list of current requested move discussions.
- Maintaining Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions (alt), an alternate version of the above list.
- Maintaining Wikipedia:Dashboard/Requested moves, a summary of requested moves.
- Maintaining Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions (table), a table of current requested move discussions. (v 6.40)
- Notifying talk pages that are named in multi-move requests.
- Notifying talk pages of WikiProjects which aren't subscribed to Article Alerts and whose talk pages transclude templates beginning
{{WikiProjectof moves of interest. (version 5.00)- See User:Scott/Notes/WikiProject template redirects. Perhaps the bot should also look for talk pages that transclude templates beginning
{{WP. - See also User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects
- See User:Scott/Notes/WikiProject template redirects. Perhaps the bot should also look for talk pages that transclude templates beginning
- When the target's talk page has non-redirecting content, the bot now posts a notice on that destination talk page. (v 5.20)
- When the target's talk page is a redirect to a different page other than the page which has been requested to be moved, the bot follows that redirect, and if that target's talk page has non-redirecting content, the bot posts a notice there too. (v 5.21)
- When the new page proposed for moving to redirects to a different page than the page that is proposed for moving (the RM implies a change in primary topic), and that redirect does not have a talk page, the bot posts a notice on the talk page of the target. (v 6.26)
- A notice is posted to the top of each page which has been requested to be moved, including the additional pages named in multi-move requests. (v 6.11)
- This subject-space notification is removed when the discussion is closed. (v 6.00)

- I see that I'm monitored now ;)

Seems that my {{Template editor topicon}} put me on some WMF mailing lists:
My boss isn't on those lists, because he isn't a "real" template editor, he's just an administrator! LOL
