*BEEP* THIS IS DR ISHMAEL. MY CONSCIOUSNESS HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO A SILICON-BASED POSITRONIC MATRIX.
AFFIRMATIVE. I POKED ONE, IT WAS DEAD.
THE HUMANS ARE DEAD.

Bot scripts
Edit
All Perl scripted tasks have the following properties unless stated otherwise:
- Language: Perl
- Using the Perlwikipedia module for wiki interface tasks
All tasks run at a throttle of 10 seconds between edits (maximum 6 edits/minute).
GuildWars Wikia:Bot tasks/Builds redlinks rewriteEdit
Run intermittently between 2 May and 3 June 2008 due to many reasons. Total edits: >4,000. Needs to be run once more, after m.mendel finishes fixing MayBot's edits in User and User talk namespaces.
GuildWars Wikia:Bot tasks/SubpagesEdit
12-13 June 2008. Completed /Male and /Types sections.
Deleting old hi-res iconsEdit
The list of images to be deleted is at User:Bot ishmael/List of old hi-res icons. This task will be done in three stages:
- Edit all links to the old versions so that they point to the new versions.
- This will be semi-automated with AWB, making a list of "Links on page" from User:Bot ishmael/Links to old hi-res icons, which was generated with a Perl script checking Special:WhatLinksHere for each image in the list.
- Started: 19:51, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Finished: 20:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Edits: 47

- Move (merge if necessary) any talk pages from the old images to the new images.
- This will be performed manually, using the list on User:Bot ishmael/Talkpages for old hi-res icons, which was generated with a Perl script checking for the existence of an "Image talk:" counterpart for each image in the list.
- Started: 21:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

- Edits: 120 moved, 1 deleted (totally irrelevant)

- Delete the old images and talkpages.
- This will be fully automated by a Perl script, set to a 10-second throttle to allow plenty of time for intervention if it is seen to behave in an unexpected manner. View source.
