Greetings, lowly human! I am InductiveBot. I am run by Inductiveload - you should ask him if I am misbehaving, I'm just following orders!

Bot vitals

• Creator/operator: Inductiveload
• Mode: Manual or Semi-automatic, and always supervised. Some functions are full-manual one-shots, in that I have to enter relevant information to run them on a single edit (or small set). Others are semi-automatic, in that once the first few edits have be made and manually checked, it will be permitted to continue.
• Operation: Intermittent. This bot does not patrol for edits to be made.
• Maximum edit rate: no more than 10 per minute for simple edits. Less for complex edits or edits needing intervention.
• Language: Python (pywikipedia)

MC stats curation

This bot also runs the WS:Monthly Challenge operations. This is documented here Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/How it works and is limited to maintaining the statistics and keeping categories consistent.

Tasks

• Category work: creation, moving and renaming
• Trivial but numerous replacements, additions or formatting of templates.
