Please do not put the generic bot shut-off code on SB's page,



It uses a simpler mechanism where any message on its talk page shuts it off.



It can be stopped by any registered user.




Thus there is no need for it to ever be blocked.



Thanks, Rich.

SmackBot (Helpful Pixie Bot's former name) at work
To leave comments please go to User talk:Rich Farmbrough
Controls
This user account is a bot operated by Rich Farmbrough.

It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.

Misplaced Pages:Babel
Perl-NThis user is a native Perl speaker.

Userboxes
4,000,000+This user has made more than 4,000,000 contributions to Misplaced Pages.

Tools

Perl/WP:AWB at the moment. I also use Perl to scan database downloads and to generate the XML for AWB. If requested I will prepare lists of articles for other users when I can. Where possible Helpful Pixie Bot will avoid pages with the {{Nobots}} tag.

Test pages

To test Helpful Pixie Bot's main task (perl invocation only) use User:Helpful Pixie Bot/General Sandbox. Add {{Smack me}}/{{Pixie me}} and it will (should) get cleaned about 18 minutes later.

Tasks and authorisations

Notes

Notes:

  • When Helpful Pixie Bot is using AWB, some of the general fixes options will usually be turned on, to get the most value from the edits. Hence most edit summaries say "and/or general fixes".
  • Usually, the motivating change will be made or none at all. See the FAQ.
  • Per admin requests a build number will be displayed for some tasks.
  • Per admin requests the edit summary may be stuffed with a list of changes.

The Cleanup Barnstar
Seems like every time I edit an article you are right there not only fixing my mistakes but previous edits too. ZabMilenko 14:45, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Thanks for all of your help, SmackBot! I rarely don't see you on an article's history page, always fixing mistakes and doing other laborious and repetitive tasks. Airplaneman 21:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
A Barnstar! The Jewish Star of Jealousy
This is a self-awarded award awarded to anyone who feels so jealous that he has no awards that he had to award himself a self-awarded award to make his award section on his User Page look good. He also wants to see how many times in one sentences he can use the word "award" (last sentence was seven). If you feel jealous of others who prominently display their awards in their wiki User page, you can contribute productively to the all-knowing Misplaced Pages and hope that someone notices your hardwork and awards you an award. Or you can drop a message on my TALK passage and ask for a Jewish Star of Jealousy at which point the joint council of the Learned Elders of Zion and the Jedi Council will consider inducting you into the Jewish Star of Jealousy Hall of Fame which would give you the right to legally display your Jewish Star of Jealousy award in your very own Misplaced Pages User Page. I may also decide to randomly award this award to people or bots.--רח"ק

Poor bot. Being killed by ArbCom because of a dispute between us humans. If only our disputes didn't need to effect the poor innocent bots. You did good work. Rest in peace. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
