User:DougBot

This user account is a bot that uses the Python programming language and, more specifically, the PyWikipediaBot (PWB) framework, operated by Doug (talk). It is a legitimate alternative account, used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. The bot is approved and currently active. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

This is a bot for use on Botwiki, Wikilivres (a non-WMF multilingual auxiliary project to Wikisource taking advantage of Canadian copyright law), WMF projects, particularly multiple subdomains of Wikisource and Commons; it is also used on my private/test wiki.

• This bot is flagged on this project and on the multilingual wikisource, the English Wikisource, and the Latin Wikisource and Wikilivres. It has a pending application for a flag at the Wikimedia Commons.
