| DECEPTITRAN | BOT |
Deceptitran is a bot account owned by User:Derik.
One hopes it will be useful, especially since Monaco killed our poor, beloved DiagnosticDrone.?
Decaptitran is scratchbuilt, and awfully messy, and continuously "in development." At the moment it can only perform linkfixes, not more comprehensive replacement like categories or in-page text.
At present, Deceptitran is chiefly used to perform clean-up maintenance. Items from the Move Log are gone through every week or two and links to the re-located items are fixed.
For reasons which remain obscure, Deceptitran refuses to work on weekends. (We suspect he may be union.)
- To request a link fix: go to User:Deceptitran/Requests. Requests will be processed fairly regularly.
Updates
Update:(Jul-28-08) Deceptitran can now fix {{storylink}} tags as well.
Update:(Aug-21-08) Deceptitran will now perform one queued replacement per hour every 15 minutes until it runs through all queued items. (Should be less annoying.) It will take just over a week to process the current backlog that way.
Update:(Sep-06-08) Deceptitran is now working on weekends. (He used to get weekends off.)
Update:(Oct-05-08) Deceptitran apparently now has a bot tag...
Update:(Jan-07-09) Fixed a bug that caused edits to articles with a "/" in their title to error out, (escaping the regex) such as "Savage/Noble" It doesn't look like this is an issue if the link you're switching to has a slash, but that's not tested.
