User:EhJBot1/Instructions

The following are instructions on using EhJRDBot (which edits as EhJBot), a semi-automatic redirect creator.

The bot runs on ##EhJBot on irc.freenode.net. Operators must be voiced (currently, only EhJJ has access).

Command Result
login Log in to SEWP server, needed about once per month (cookie)
end Quits the bot (avoid doing, as bot must be restarted manually)
. Article Select Article and find ENWP redirects to Article
? 0 2 5 8 Find out if 0, 2, 5, or 8 exist on SEWP (optional)
?* Check if all exist on SEWP
! 5 8 Create redirects for 5 and 8
!* Create redirects for all

Note: the bot will not overwrite the article if it already exists, regardless of what it is. It will also not make SALTed pages (no admin privileges). It will only create redirects from the list offered.

Page creations are queued and are spaced 60 seconds apart. The operator can continue to use the bot to queue more pages while the bot is processing the current list. The bot will continue to process the list until it is empty.
