Wikipedia editing bot run by Inks.LWC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| This user account is a bot that uses AutoWikiBrowser, operated by Inks.LWC (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 currently inactive but retains the approval of the community. To stop this bot until restarted by the bot's owner, edit its talk page. If that page is a redirect, edit that original redirecting page, not the target of the redirect. Administrators: if this bot continues causing harm after receiving a message, please block it or remove from the approved accounts. |

About WxBot
Why the name "WxBot"? "Wx" is an abbreviation for "weather".
WxBot is run by Inks.LWC (talk · contribs), and is designed to perform tasks for WikiProject Meteorology and its descendants (WikiProject Non-tropical storms, WikiProject Severe weather, and WikiProject Tropical cyclones).
Currently, approved tasks for the bot include link replacement and template replacement; however, additional tasks can be requested. Click here to make a request for the bot to perform a task. If the task you would like the bot to perform is not link or template replacement, please keep in mind that it will take a few days to get approval for the new task (but that will be a one time thing for that entire type of task); in no way should this discourage you from requesting tasks that have not yet been approved—I just want you to be aware that it may take a bit of time.
Members of non-meteorological projects are welcome to make requests.
