<!--Programming Language: The computer language that this bot will be written in. E.g. Python, Java, C, VB, AutoWikiBrowser. NOT English etc -->
'''[[Programming Language]](s):''' [[Wikipedia:AWB]]

<!--Please keep Function Summary SHORT-->
'''Function Summary:''' Implements "Delete", "Replace", and "Merge" requests at [[Wikipedia:CfD]].

'''Edit period(s)''' ''(e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run)''''':''' I'll run it when I close a CfD or when I notice a backlog at [[Wikipedia:CfD/W]].

'''Already has a bot flag''' ''(Y/N)''''':''' N

<!--List full function details here-->
'''Function Details:''' Uses AWB's [[Wikipedia:AWB/MAN#More...|category tool]] for most cases, though its find and replace feature will be used in cases such as [[User talk:Philosopher#Small CfD problem|this]] where the category is being placed by a template.  These edits are identical to edits I've often done with my main account using AWB - just that it isn't practical to do the large quantities of edits required for some CfDs manually. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mike_Tice&diff=prev&oldid=257600249 Category tool example]; [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:1970Telstar.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=258529846 Find and replace example])

* What will be the bot's edit rate? and don't we already have CanisRufus, Cydebot, Fluxbot, Kbdankbot, RoboMaxCyberSem and Xenobot working on this at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working]]?

**I believe the current bots only work with the categories themselves - so when there is a case like [[User talk:Philosopher#Small CfD problem|this]] where the category is placed by a template, it just sits there and never gets done.  Hence my bot request.  As for edit rate, whatever you guys feel would be appropriate.  --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 23:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

:{{doing}} Due to Christmas (and the accompanying loss of internet access) it may be a few days before I do this.  --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 22:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
::{{BotApproved}} It seems the trial was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=50&target=Philosopher-Bot done] a while ago but as the results were not posted here this BRFA got overlooked. Nevertheless I see no reason not to approve, everything in the trial looked OK. <em style="font:bold 12px Verdana;">[[User:Richard0612|<span style="color:#186;">Richard</span>]][[User talk:Richard0612|<span style="color:#186;"><sup>0612</sup></span>]]</em> 17:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
