Time filed: 05:37, Saturday, December 5, 2015 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: GitHub

Function overview: Removes closed AfDs from Category:AfD debates relisted 3 or more times and Category:Relisted AfD debates

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Hazard-Bot 28, WP:AN

Edit period(s): twice a week

Estimated number of pages affected: 8848 initially, then perhaps just a few each month (depends on how many relisted AfDs get closed without the categories being removed)

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: The previous BRFA (linked above) approved Category:AfD debates relisted 3 or more times, so pretty much, Category:Relisted AfD debates is the new part (again see the previous BRFA for more details). Also, the updated script checks for <noinclude>...</noinclude> around the category and removes them while removing the category (see Special:Diff/693786374).  Hazard SJ  05:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. — Earwig ^talk 11:50, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Trial complete. Here you go. They were only those from the plain relisted category, none from the 3 or more, considering that #28 ran a few hours ago and made 8 edits. P.S. if you were wondering, the reason why I put that in here as well was just to be able to refer to a single BRFA.  Hazard SJ  20:36, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Based on the code, won't the bot make two edits if it has both categories? Also, to be safer, you should probably only remove strings of the form <noinclude>[cats]</noinclude> or [cats], as the current regex will remove <noinclude>[other stuff][cats]</noinclude>. — Earwig ^talk 22:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Both fixed. I actually got to do a dry run just now on a page with the first scenario, and it worked.  Hazard SJ  02:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

 Approved. This is fine, but I'm thinking that we should really get User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD2.js modified as well, as it is frequently used and would save the bot from a large number of edits. I'll poke around. — Earwig ^talk 07:11, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
