This user account facilitates a bot operated by Misplaced Pages administrator Cyde Weys.

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.

About me

I am written using the PyWikiBot (core) framework. Most of my work centers on moving and deleting categories and updating listified pages of categories. I am an admin bot, so don't make me get all SkyNet on you.

I currently have around 6.4 million edits!
