User:APBOT

From Test Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This user is a bot operated by TheAstorPastor (talk).
It is used to help make many small changes that would take a long time for a person to do alone.
Administrators: if this bot isn't working correctly or is doing bad things, please stop it.

This bot generates an inactivity report for administrators, bureaucrats, interface administrators, and non-steward suppressors on TestWiki. It checks the last activity of users in these roles and categorizes them based on their activity status. The report is then posted to this page - Activity.

How It Works

  1. Login: The bot logs in using the provided credentials.
  2. Fetch Users: It retrieves a list of users in the specified groups, excluding:
    • Users specified in EXCLUDED_USERS
  3. Check Activity: It fetches the last edit or log action timestamp for each user.
  4. Determine Status:
    • Active: Activity within the last 30 days
    • Inactive (1 month): No activity in the last 30–60 days
    • Inactive (2 months): No activity in the last 60–75 days
    • Inactive (2 months, 2 weeks): No activity for more than 75 days
  5. Generate Report:
    • Displays user activity status in a table
    • Lists grace periods only for users inactive for more than 2 months and 2 weeks

How it runs and who runs it?

TheAstorPastor is the primary and currently the only operator of the bot. It is scheduled to run every day at 2:30 PM using Windows Task Scheduler. The schedule might fail if the device is shut down, but this usually doesn’t happen. TheAstorPastor also runs the bot manually at least once a week. For any updates to the list of excluded users, please contact TheAstorPastor (TheAP) through Discord, if possible.

Who is in the⁣ EXCLUDED_USERS?

"EPIC, "Dmehus", "Drummingman", "Justarandomamerican", "MacFan4000", "Abuse filter", "Bosco-bot", "DodoBot", "FuzzyBot", "MacFanBot"
