User:ProcBot/PurgeList/doc

This bot task will purge pages either at regular intervals, or on absolute dates per year. This page is the purge list for that. To have the bot purge a page, add it to the relevant section below using the correct template. Changes to the list may take up to 15 minutes to be registered by the bot.

Note that a page can be added to the list multiple times. e.g. if you want a page to be purged 3x a year on particular dates, you can add three entries for that page.

Regular purges

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge|PageTitle|Interval|IntervalUnit}}

Interval can be any positive integer. IntervalUnit can be "minute", "hour" or "day".

Example:

{{/purge|User:ProcrastinatingReader|15|minute}}

This will purge User:ProcrastinatingReader every 15 minutes.

Dated purges

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge-absolute|PageTitle|Month|Day}}

Month and Day can be any positive integer.

Example:

{{/purge-absolute|User:ProcrastinatingReader|5|7}}

This will purge User:ProcrastinatingReader on the 7th of May each year.

Category purges

The bot can purge all members of a category, including their links and categories.

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge-cat|CategoryTitle|Interval|IntervalUnit}}

CategoryTitle should include the namespace. Interval can be any positive integer. IntervalUnit can be "minute", "hour" or "day". Be reasonable with intervals, especially for larger categories. Optionally, you can add |type=once to make it only purge the category once and never again.

Template purges

The bot can purge all transclusions of a template.

Add the following on a new line:

{{/purge-once|TemplateTitle}}
