  5. over IRC_.

  7. History

  8. -------

  9. 

  10. Development began, based on `Pywikibot`_, in early 2009. Approval for its

  11. first task, a `copyright violation detector`_, was carried out in May, and the

  12. bot has been running consistently ever since (with the exception of Jan/Feb 2011).

  13. It currently handles `several ongoing tasks`_ ranging from statistics generation

  14. to category cleanup, and on-demand tasks such as WikiProject template tagging.

  15. Since it started running, the bot has made over 250,000 edits.

  16. 

  17. A project to rewrite it from scratch began in early April 2011, thus moving

  18. away from the Pywikibot framework and allowing for less overall code, better

  19. integration between bot parts, and easier maintenance.
