MandelBot

Operator: User:J JMesserly

Automatic or Manually Assisted:

• Cat Move announced at Commons:Village_pump#Notice_of_upcoming_bot_run_Historic_images_of_Toronto_.26_Ottowa will be manually confirmed, one cat at a time.

Programming Language(s): Python, using the Hooft and Engel's libraries. Conventional libary use is the likely near term usage pattern, but if I do anything fancy, I'll leave a notice on the Bot main page to explain. I have executed very large scale bot runs in the past under a former pseudonym both here and at the wikias. I don't imagine I will be doing anything that scale here, but I do understand server loading issues and will defer runs if there are significant lags in response.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time periodic maintenance runs announced in advance at village pumps.

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Not requesting a bot flag at this point. The upcoming run is only a few hundred, so I won't be flooding any watchlists.

Functions:

• Maintenance of categories having to do with Places or things by time. EG: Category:Berlin in the 1930s or Category:1920s fashion, as part of the Time Project.
