Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): Daily
Estimated number of pages affected: ~3 per day
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Append User:EpicPupper/Redirect autopatrol through subst for users added to the list in the past day, with the granting admin for the first parameter. If approved, I'll move the page to template-space. This is beneficial as users may be confused on why their redirects are being automatically patrolled by a bot (and some of the redirects might not be under the default bot patrol criteria).
