- EarwigBot v0.4 Documentation
- ============================
-
- EarwigBot_ is a Python bot that edits Wikipedia_ and interacts over IRC_.
-
- History
- -------
-
- Development began, based on `Pywikibot`_, in early 2009. Approval for its
- first task, a `copyright violation detector`_, was carried out in May, and the
- bot has been running consistently ever since. It currently handles
- `several ongoing tasks`_ ranging from statistics generation to category
- cleanup, and on-demand tasks such as WikiProject template tagging. Since it
- started running, the bot has made over 300,000 edits.
-
- The current version of its codebase began development in April 2011, moving
- away from Pywikibot to a custom framework.
