  6. History

  7. -------

  8. 

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

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

  11. bot has been running consistently ever since. It currently handles

  12. `several ongoing tasks`_ ranging from statistics generation to category

  13. cleanup, and on-demand tasks such as WikiProject template tagging. Since it

  14. started running, the bot has made over 300,000 edits.

  15. 

  16. The current version of its codebase began development in April 2011, moving

  17. away from Pywikibot to a custom framework.
