Who Am I? edit
What Do I Do? edit
Template Removal edit
I am approved by a BRFA to clean up drafts that get moved from user sandboxes to draftspace
I remove the following templates from Drafts:
- {{user sandbox}}
- {{userspace draft}}
- {{userdraft}} and {{user draft}}
- {{dashboard.wikiedu.org sandbox}} (where it appears in the draft article itself)
I only edit in the Draft namespace, if I'm editing elsewhere, something has gone wrong.
Copyvios edit
Per WP:BOTUSERSPACE, I also check submitted drafts for copyvios using Earwig's Copyvios Detector. I output my results to User:RichBot/copyvios. You can use this to determine if a draft should be marked for CSD G12.
