Function

[edit]

HersfoldOTRSBot will trawl through Category:OTRS pending for images that have been tagged with an {{OTRS pending}} template for more than thirty days. These images will have the {{OTRS pending}} tag removed and replaced with {{subst:nopd}} for deletion in 15 days. The bot will also attempt to notify the uploader of the image with {{Noticket}} so they can attempt to correct the matter.

HersfoldOTRSBot does not carry out any deletions itself, and is not an admin bot; it only marks images that meet a single specific criteria for deletion, and notifies users of this action.

Future updates

[edit]

To suggest an update to the bot, please contact Hersfold at Wikipedia. Suggestions for updates should relate to the bot's current task; if you would like a bot to perform a totally different task, please make your request at COM:BR.
