 | This user account is a bot operated by Syrthiss (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |
Syrcatbot is an account maintained by User:Syrthiss. It operates only on the english wikipedia, using AutoWikiBrowser to do recategorizations in support of Categories for Deletion. Syrcatbot is entirely supervised, as I am the one hitting the button to do the cut and paste for the categories.
I wanted to begin using Syrcatbot for several reasons:
- I've been doing a ton of recategorizations with my Syrthiss account, and I feel that clutters up my contributions list.
- I can set my preferences with Syrcatbot so that I don't load images (to reduce server resources)
- With a bot flag, all my recategorizations won't show up in Special:Recentchanges
- I don't run the risk of my main account being blocked for editing at bot-like speeds. While Syrthiss is an admin account and I could unblock myself, I'd rather avoid having to unblock myself or ask another admin to do so.
