Instructions for disabling bot
 | Shutdown instructions in a nutshell:
|
Administrators (or extended-confirmed editors), please see User:TheSandBot/status if you wish to shut down the bot. In the event that the bot runs wild on a task (which it shouldn't) or otherwise needs to be shut down, change the text on the page's corresponding key value pair from "true" to "false" (is case sensitive; only one value can exist in the pair at a given time). Other than the true/false values, please do not change any other values, insert/remove commas etc (all the page content must stay JSON safe/legal in order for the bot to understand it). Once changed to false, that will stop the bot when it attempts to save the edit as it checks/"calls home" to that page before saving. In the event that the corresponding key/value pair contains the text "false", the script will show an error in my console and terminate. This will necessitate a restart by TSD (poke TheSandDoctor for that or send them an email), even if set back to "true".
In the event that you do shut down the bot, please send a message to TheSandDoctor (either through talk page or email) notifying them of this and the reason for shutting the bot down. Thank you!
