BsoykaBot is an account set aside to perform automated tasks here on the English Wikipedia. It is operated by Bsoyka and its source code is available on GitHub.

Excluding a page

edit

BsoykaBot is exclusion-compliant. If you need to stop the bot from editing just one page, you can add {{Nobots|BsoykaBot}} to its wikitext. However, this should rarely, if ever, be necessary.

If this method fails, the bot may be malfunctioning. See the big red button above.

The automated actions BsoykaBot performs
Task BRFA status Bot status What's done and why Source code
1: Fix PMC errors Denied Inactive Would have removed PMC prefixes from the |pmc= parameter of CS1 citations to clean up CS1 errors GitHub
2: Fix proxy URLs Approved Active, running once daily Replaces proxy links from The Wikipedia Library with their non-proxied versions. Proxy links are truly only helpful to experienced editors who actually have access to The Wikipedia Library. For the vast majority of our users (readers), these links block access to crucial references and external links. A solution, if you desire access to proxied URLs from articles, is to use the Zotero browser extension, which can automatically redirect you through the TWL proxy when appropriate. GitHub
3: Fix NFL draft case Approved Active, running once daily, limited to 1,000 pages per run Corrects miscapitalizations of "NFL draft" (instead of "NFL Draft") in wikilinks in articles per a request for comment GitHub
