2041:
you've deleted 14 pages. While I loathe to turn this into any sort of wiki-dick measuring contest (as I surely don't intend that or want to see that happen), I will say that until you have hands-on experience with these broken redirects (as WjB has, as I have, as east has), the perspective you have on them will be quite different. It's easy, trivial really, to think of a myriad of new methods or detection mechanisms that admins could go through before deleting a broken redirect. However, what I have been trying to underline, and perhaps it's my failing that I haven't yet made the point clear, is that what I'm doing is accepted practice for dealing with broken redirects. It is what every human admin I have ever come across does. And while we can (and perhaps should) expect more from bots and scripts, excessive regulation and requirements will simply lead to people doing what they always do -- ignore the certified process and simply run the script under their main account. --
1860:
over it. The script first checks that the page is a redirect; it then checks to ensure that the redirect's target doesn't exist. Once it has done both checks, it does a final check for the last edit made to the page. If the page is older than four days, it deletes the page. If not, the page is skipped. To avoid complications with interwiki redirects, the bot doesn't touch redirects in the User: or User_talk: namespaces. When I used to do broken redirect deletion manually, I would batch open the pages in tabs, and use a one-click JavaScript deletion tab to delete the broken redirect. I would essentially mindlessly click through each tab; if I saw red, I clicked (and deleted), if I saw blue or light blue, I skipped it. The Python script probably pretty clearly would be described as an adminbot. The tabbed deletion probably wouldn't be. But I'm finding it harder and harder to care what the label is and I'm finding it harder and harder to see why it's really relevant. --
2345:
you're going to call someone's observations pointless, you can start with your own. At the end of the day, any new policy or practice would have be approved by the community, not just those who run adminbots (who are the people largely stating their opinions in this RfC). If possible, I think it would be better if we could get some of the people who have been anti-BAG or anti-bot or anti-whatever (Locke Cole and Monobi come to mind) to participate. Perhaps even contacting some of the people who opposed the
RedirectCleanupBot RfA should comment. From what I can see, the views seen here seem rather skewed. As to Misza's comment, I think he's exactly right. There are really only three possibilities going forward, and given the community that we have, I imagine number 3 is far, far more likely to happen than number 2. Though, I personally would have no issue with number 1 continuing; I still don't think a decent argument has been made for change. --
1785:
automate selecting the pages and not review them by hand they will go on and let the bot press the buttons. On the other hand, in 1-5 if the admin actually reviews the pages him/herself and applies judgment before creating the list (with data on version reviewed), and has the bot confirm that the reviewed version is the current version (plus no changes to other pages that might affect the judgment), then I really don't care about the fact that code is using the tool, since it is using it on items where the admin applied judgment and there is no room for change since that would have changed the judgment. Ultimately, I care about whether human or code judgment is being applied. If it is code judgment, I want the community to vet the judgment embodied in the code...
1924:
find new targets. Just as no admin is going through unused non-free images and writing rationales for them and finding places where they can be used. Whether the script is deleting or I am, the same judgment is being made. If the redirect is broken, it is deleted under CSD#R1. If it's not broken, it isn't deleted. Perhaps the speedy deletion criteria need more work, but deletions as straightforward as this were what the community itself approved, in its one instance of allowing an adminbot. As for the list of deletions, that should be possible, but it may take a day or two. Or if a
Toolserver person is reading this, my user ID is 212624 and the deletion summary is "csd r1" within the past week or two. --
2630:. He actually received explicit approval for doing so. Misza blocks users occasionally. He did so a couple of months ago accidentally. The user was upset and calling for heads, but Misza's still a sysop. east is still a sysop. I'm still a sysop. And this is nothing new – the community has been ignoring the issue for years. Curps used to block users automatically based on their username. Always the same block summary; always done in a robotic fashion. Curps is still a sysop. While "the community" (whatever the hell that's defined as) has never made a single unified diff for me to be able to point to, it's clear that adminbots have and will continue to run with implicit support. --
1967:- are you really saying that community approval of that very specific set of redirects (different from the redirects you are deleting because they have to have only one edit in the edit history) is a license for you to engage in "task creep" and apply the "permission" to different tasks? I hope you aren't saying that, because that is fundamental to the whole issue here. MZMcBride, would you agree to upgrade your process to detect whether the destination was: (a) moved; (b) deleted; (c) moved and deleted; (d) never existed; (e) fed into a loop; and then ignore the other redirects and let humans judge those - if necessary creating a list for humans to check and validate?
2525:
using automated scripts as well, but I couldn't know for sure. What distressed me most was that I couldn't really collaborate with them (without risking a reaction of "I'm doing this manually! You're using a bot? I'm telling! I'll have your badge!") There may have been intelligent safeguards that I was using, that other botrunners could have benefited from, and vice versa. It would have made the most sense, in my view, for the task to go through BRfA, with all safeguards published and detailed in public sourcecode, so that we could all compare notes and adopt the safest and best practices. But since the task was unauthorized, that wasn't really possible.
2056:(we should definitely move this somewhere else) Well, if we are being frank here, I should say that I'd love to write some scripts to do what you do, only better, of course! :-), but I don't have the technical skill to do that. I would also love to try my hand at some manual work in this area, but it is difficult to do this when the bots get there before me. Do you see the point I've just made there? The reason human admins don't do this is because adminbots do it already. I've already said I don't have the technical skill to write a bot or script, so could I ask you whether it is technically

and "worsens" there is a lot of detail that you are glossing over. It is possible that things may just "change", and in that sense things may get both worse and better (eg. some adminbots operators start following a voluntary code of conduct, while others that do borderline stuff refuse to follow the voluntary code of conduct and gradually get sidelined or go underground or rogue, while yet other adminbots are quietly allowed because no-one ever complains about them - a combination of 1, 2 and 3). So I would be wary of offering up too simplistic an analysis.
2754:
fashion. I'm not sure what you were getting at with the arbitrary limitation that only protecting a single page a day somehow makes the sin lesser, it's still an unassisted robot; in fact, I'd argue that it's worse, since it affects actual, precious articles rather than those spamming proxies and copyright violations we universally loathe. Lastly, I'll ask MZMcBride to look past Chet's disastrously terrible parallel between bot operators and vandals and examine the substance: that the status quo is not necessarily the most prudent one possible.

actions, then they can't fairly make such overall judgments when all they hear about is the problems. This is why openly stating what is done will, in fact, clear the air. I wasn't aware that this RfC was about to be opened, but now that it has, I applaud it. It is also possible that there may have been individual problems that were significant (in the eyes of some), but that shouldn't impact the non-controversial, routine, maintenance or one-off jobs that were and are on problems. But no adminbot or script operator should

correct place later. Not everyone would agree with you on those assumptions. One thing I would do is also check to see if there are any incoming links to the redirect. The number of redirects also matters here. If it is 50 or a few 100 a day, then that might be manageable by humans. If out of those, a certain percentage were found to be fixable, then you have to weigh up the pros and cons of humans 'wasting' their time on the obvious ones, against the humans fixing the ones they can. It might also be better to find out
2721:(unindent) I'll try to respond to each of the points you made in an orderly fashion so that neither of us gets lost. You said, "So basically you are saying that things should stay the way they are just because they have stayed that way in the past?" That obviously makes little to no sense as what I said previously was "Could the overall situation stand for improvement? Sure." So, we'll move past that comment, as there's really nothing to be addressed.
2037:
I'll notice that you asked somewhat similar questions in
RedirectCleanupBot's RfA, however, you eventually supported. Including after you asked about redirect re-targeting, to which WjBScribe answered that very, very rarely does any admin ever do such a thing. The script that I have been using was written maybe a week or two ago. All other CSD#R1 deletions that I have done have been pretty much manual. I've seen every test case.

the issues, either through changing to a redirect, sourcing, rewriting, etc. I do the work, only to find 5 minutes later that someone deleted it because they had looked at it a while ago (before my changes), added it to their list of mass deletions, and deleted it. I don't think these are good solutions to dealing with backlogs -- if anything, it's chased me away from working on prods, and probably other admins as well.--
2110:
main article (not yet created), and to list the variant names there in the hope that whoever created the page would see the list and create the redirects. But the talk page got deleted as a talk page without a corresponding page. I think the best solution in the end was to list the name and all its variants at "requested articles", in the hope that people seeing one of the links turn blue would then create the redirects.
1879:
to make such checks. I agree with you that we want more bots. It would also be nice to have more transparency, and perhaps even a system where more than one person is consulted before deciding what tasks are justifiable. That being said, if we intend to regulate adminbots at all, we do still need to define "adminbot" in a way that is both useful and unlikely to be ambiguous.
1664:
admin looking at the pages individually (for example, if he just creates a list out of a deletion category). I realize that at level 3 there may still be considerable manual input involved (i.e. a lot of clicking), but in my opinion, the process is already "automated" as soon as one constructs an approach that no longer requires human judgment on a case-by-case basis.
1985:, I feel I should note that your interpretation of it is not what I recall it being intended to mean. "Deleted or nonexistent" is supposed to simply mean "redlink", while "invalid" means titles that MediaWiki won't allow redirects to, such as special pages. So, yes, as far as I can tell, MZMcBride's deletions are perfectly well within the scope of the criterion. —
1681:
human doesn't look at the output or input, but just sets it running, then that is a bot. Halting the process at various points, and having human checks or spot checks, makes it less lacking in oversight. In other words, using programs to apply filters and carry out the actual deletions, but still having a human check every page, is not a bot - that is what I think
2545:

that it's simply a re-affirmation of the "radical transparency" mantra that wikis have been following for years. "Secrecy bad, transparency good." Majorly's statement received the level of support that it did because it is two values sentences articulating that transparency is good and a "relevant process" is needed. It's simply

I previously forgot to mention that an additional reason for the four-day gap is that, at times (much to my ire), people create 'intentionally' broken redirects. For the most part, they are simply redirects that they will be creating the target for shortly.
2033:
March, and the target becomes broken in May, it isn't our role to step in and revert back to the March version of the page. That is a content decision for content contributors. Our role is purely janitorial. The redirect is broken, we've written guidelines for this particular type of deletion, the page is deleted.

One user asked me about the deletions, but beyond that, nobody else did. east admitted to running an adminbot on

Your final comment, "So what if they've been running for years, vandals have as well." is from far left field. Whatever point you're attempting to make here has been entirely lost. Adminbots are vandals? Vandals and adminbots have existed for years? I'm a vandal? What? And your assertion that "asking

So, you can certainly expect a high standard of conduct from admins all that you like, but I can guarantee that
2297:
Yes, I don't know why you would want to close it now when we're getting such great discussion from this, and a lot of adminbot runners are participating. Secondly, there already seems to be a consensus forming for adminbots to be separated from the admin's account, and then made to go through a BRFA.
2278:
Actually, there are other options, such as "rules change completely" or "all of the above". A change in the playing field is what happened for
ProtectionBot, and it was made redundant (I guess you could say the situation improved). But the three options you provide are rather broad. Within "improves"
2109:
At the moment, creating redirects is one way to gather the redlinks together (though that misleadingly turns some links blue). Creating an article and creating the redirects is another way. Keeping everything redlinked until an article is created is another. I once tried to create a talk page for the

One more point I want to mention, and this is directed at
Carcharoth, who knows that I have a great deal of respect for him. I took a look at the number of deletions you've done in your time as an admin (longer than mine, I believe) and I thought the tool was broken. In the time you've been an admin,

This discussion, quite frankly, is becoming more and more of red herring in my mind. I fear that any new process for approving adminbots will have the same symptoms that are visible in this discussion. Namely, far higher standards for an automated process than we would ever expect from a human admin.
1762:
I'm a bit more conservative on this. I'm fine with #2, especially because I use
Twinkle to do this myself. *grin* #3/4/5 is where I start to get bothered, because I've run into problems with others doing this. Sometimes when working through the expired prods, I find an article where I can address all
1663:
In my opinion, the "bot-ness" comes in when you stop looking at cases individually and start handling groups of cases "rapidly" through the application of some rule based system to the entire group. That could fall as early as level 3 in your heirarchy if the list of pages is constructed without the

Does anyone have time to knock up a voluntary code of conduct? Maybe that, combined with "let the adminbot operators regulate themselves within a voluntary code of conduct" might work? I don't have time to write it up myself, but if all the current adminbot operators (and some former ones) signed up

Eventually, other people's bots were willing to run faster and earlier than mine (sometimes even before the due date), so I quit running my script. Hopefully, as a result of this RFC, we can come to a solution that is safer, more efficient, and generally more sane. Thanks for letting me get this off
2223:
I have listed them in order of decreasing probability (IMO), but my main point being, all three outcomes have one thing in common: adminbots continue to run (as they should, because they've slowly become an integral part of
Knowledge (XXG)'s operations). The question is: do we want this the easy way
2060:
to get a script or bot examine the history of the page to which a redirect is pointing, and find out whether it ever existed, was deleted, or was moved?

If anything comes out of this RFC, it's going to be better communication and openness.

Deletions: Automatically clears the CSD I4, I5, I6 and I8 backlogs; deletes pages created by spambots; formerly removed orphaned redirect talk pages, and on only one occasion.

Perhaps, but my line of thinking is that no admin is currently processing the list in the way you're describing. The four-day check is really to ensure that the page hasn't been vandalized recently and not been caught and reverted. No admin that I know of is going through broken redirects trying to
1878:
Yes, we shouldn't be afraid of adminbots. Their mindless logic can often do a much better job at some tasks than us puny humans. For example, a bot working on the image deletion backlogs can easily check for recent edits to the image page or the image talk page, while a human is usually too bored
1680:
It is possible to apply a regex first, then manually scan the list, then go ahead with a system to automate the boring "click to delete" bits. I assume a regex is the only way a bot can make "decisions". Are there other ways? I would define a bot as a process that doesn't have human oversight. If a

Edit suppression: Whenever I notice a malfunctioning bot that requires its edits to be reverted, I'll log a bot into my admin account, which will do it and append the "bot" flag to both the rollback and the reverted edit; this will remove the offending bot's edit from recent changes and watchlists.
2733:
Moving on, you say, "the "adminbot" that east718 mentioned on WT:BAG neither blocks or deletes pages, it only move-protects today's featured article which could be done manually just as easily." Um... duh? Nearly every adminbot task could be done manually 'just as easily.' The point is that nobody

You said, "You say that adminbots have run with implicit support." Yes, I pretty clearly demonstrated that with my reply above. I strongly urge you to read some of the 40+ supports for
Majorly's statement. People have supported a vague notion of approval by an unknown group. One could almost argue

Adminbots have been running for years. Want diffs? Check any of the contribution logs of any of the editors listed in the pretty table above. I ran one for over five days last week. As though a steady rate of deletions over days is really something a human could achieve? And the community silently

I think the distinction about what is and what isn't an adminbot is both important and entirely irrelevant. Bots are capable of doing a number of things that humans may simply skip. To demonstrate this, I'll use an example. About every day, I take a list of broken redirects and run a Python script
2100:
Also consider this situation: you have redirect B pointing at a yet-to-be-created article A. There are 50 incoming links to article A, showing a big demand for an article there. Only 20 incoming links to redirect B, so hey, let's delete redirect B. Then, someone comes along and creates article A.

Is that optimistic? Without adminbots, the deletion backlogs would be insurmountable, and vandalism would be much more epidemic. When admitbots are all disallowed, only rogues will operate adminbots. –

IMO #6 is where the line is drawn, semi-auto doesn't count as a bot. However there are certain circumstances where 4 and 5 shouldn't be used, but that ends up coming upon the admin's responsibility. --
2471:
if a bureaucratic and time-consuming process is put into place to deal with adminbots, quite a few (if not all) adminbot ops will simply do what they currently do. And there's nothing to stop them. --

At what point is it an adminbot? I probably use #4 sometimes (via twinkle, hence why I listed myself), but, for the purposes of this discussion, where would everybody define 'adminbot'?

I'll attempt to address each of your points as clearly as I can and I'll also (re-)attempt to put some of my perspective into the discussion. First, if someone creates a redirect like
2497:
Greetings. I used to run an adminbot: a script under my own account to delete images that had been tagged for deletion. Bless me, father, for I have sinned. Here is my confession.
478:
1942:- how is the bot judging whether a redlink is non-existent, deleted or invalid? Is the assumption here that a redlinked redirect can only be one of those three cases? What CSD R1
2644:
I think its more that the community knows that arbcom won't do anything, and that wikipedia is completely lacking any rational procedure for removing sysops. But thats just me --
2168:
I guess at this point, the most pressing question is where to move the discussion. It certainly shouldn't stay here, though we should try and extract the adminbot relevant bits.
2730:
probably be a Request for bot approval followed by an RfA. However, had Majorly put that into his original statement, you and I both know that he wouldn't have 40+ supports.
1807:
systems will work this way, but a well-designed system can draw on more than just the 1000+ admins, and could use the judgment of patrollers and rollbackers, for example.
1497:
their actions are uncontroversial. The fundamental divide seems to be between those who go ahead with something and then modify things if there are problems, and who also

Admin makes a list of pages, each page has a link to click to delete it. Admin goes through and clicks them all. Now it isn't necessary to load each page in a tab first.
2734:
wants to or is willing to. And simply because a script doesn't use action=block or action=delete, that automatically means it isn't an adminbot? That's plainly silly.
1700:
So, I think thusfar we're in agreement, an 'adminbot', is one that performs an action without a human making the decision to do so.... I just wanted to make sure. :)
1501:
that lack of response equals no problems (sometimes a dangerous assumption), and those who would always state their plans first before going ahead with the action.

Undeletion: Mass-restores nonfree images that were deleted under CSD I7 just because of a missing backlink. Other editors are then given the chance to fix these up.

Then later still, someone comes along and sees one of the redlinks for article B (which was a variant name for article A, remember) and creates a new article.

For this RFC, so I added to Cent and the Village Pump. It was just to a weird collection of user talk pages and the usual admin noticeboards for some reason.

adminbots on the talk page of BAG isn't really a place to find "community" consensus. So what if they've been running for years, vandals have as well. --
1055:
I suppose so, but if you know for sure they are former/inactive, then say that. Wasn't there a very early blocking bot that dealt with WoW or something?
1605:
Same as #4, but instead of javascript the admin uses python. Admin makes a list of 1000 pages and runs a script to delete them from the command line.
2602:
MZMcBride, in what discussions on wiki have you seen the community "indicate it didn't want to know what was going on"? Some diffs would be nice. --
430:
2068:- the point I was making here is that these detection methods would be dealt with by the bot, all in one go, not by humans. A well-written bot can
2010:(unindent) We may want to consider splitting this off into a separate thread as it doesn't really have to do with the definition of an adminbot.
1629:
Personally, I should add, my definition probably falls somewhere in the neighborhood of "the process decides on it's own what needs to be done".
1540:
Another example I'd think of is Curpsbot's long-term use of the cryptic "user..." block message when his block bot was issuing username blocks.
2029:
the page hasn't been recently vandalized, and that there has been sufficient time if someone was creating preemptive redirects for future use.

Yes, several times in wiki history adminbots have either blocked someone or deleted a page incorrectly. And quite a few cases have ended up on
