Approved.
Time filed: 18:53, Saturday September 3, 2011 (UTC)
Automatic or Manual: Automatic, unsupervised
Programming language(s): Perl
Source code available: User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/BAGBot.pm
Function overview: Manage the list of past BRFAs at WP:BRFA#Denied requests, WP:BRFA#Expired/withdrawn requests, and WP:BRFAA.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): periodic
Estimated number of pages affected: WP:BRFA, WP:BRFAA, and archives of WP:BRFAA
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes
Function details: The bot will do the following:
- When moving a denied request to WP:BRFA#Denied requests, it will remove any requests after the first 15 that are older than 7 days (i.e. the list will contain 15 entries or all entries less than 7 days old, whichever is greater).
- When moving an expired or withdrawn request to WP:BRFA#Expired/withdrawn requests, it will remove any requests after the first 15 that are older than 7 days (i.e. the list will contain 15 entries or all entries less than 7 days old, whichever is greater).
- When adding newly-approved requests to WP:BRFAA, it will move the
<noinclude>
barrier such that the list displayed at WP:BRFA#Approved requests will contain 30 entries or all entries less than 7 days old, whichever is greater. Also, requests older than 1 year will be moved to an archive and WP:BRFAAA will be updated if necessary.

[edit]I've been meaning to do this for a while, and finally decided to actually do it. I can easily enough change the parameters if consensus dictates. Anomie⚔ 18:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Not specifying any time/edit limits. Have it run until the cases above have occurred. Would speedy, but trying to avoid any more "approved 5 minutes after creation" issues. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 18:56, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the "requests older than 1 year will be moved to an archive and WP:BRFAAA will be updated if necessary" part will take until 2012-01-01. Anomie⚔ 19:02, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Archiving of denied requests: [1]. Moving of
<noinclude>
on WP:BRFAA: [2]. Fixed the miscounting in the latter, so in the future it will really show 30 instead of 31 when transcluded. Anomie⚔ 18:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Archiving of expired/withdrawn requests: [3]. Anomie⚔ 02:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This would be an appropriate bot for speedying in a few minutes. Its task is limited in area, the bot operator is experienced and known to be responsible in responding to problems with his/her bots, the task will be well-monitored by other bot operators for problems. persecutorially yours, --72.208.2.14 (talk) 06:12, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Approved. All in order, trusted botop, limited scope, non-controversial task. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:25, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
