This user account is a bot operated by TheresNoTime (talk). 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. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

This bot runs on Wikimedia Toolforge. Administrators: If this bot needs to be blocked, please remember to disable autoblocks so that other Wikimedia Foundation Toolforge bots are not affected.

• enwiki^req.
• enwikiquote^req.

Changes

The bot makes the following on-wiki changes:

Enabled on

Changes

• Updating a deployment window item's status (e.g. to done, not done, etc.)
• Noting which deployer did the item's deployment
