This bot is run by ]. If you have any questions about image tagging, ask them at ].

== Description and purpose ==

OrphanBot's current task is to remove images that are in ] and ] from articles, so that administrators can delete them.

Images in the article, category, and portal namespaces will be removed.
Images in the wikipedia, mediawiki, mediawiki talk, template, help, and help talk namespaces will be left alone, but a message will be logged on the bot's talk page.
Images in all other namespaces will be completely ignored.

Additionally, OrphanBot inspects newly-uploaded images for ones lacking source information, a license tag, or a fair-use rationale if one is needed.

OrphanBot was written in Perl using the ] code for accessing Misplaced Pages.

===In simple terms:===
What OrphanBot does:
#OrphanBot tags images with no description as {{tl|no source}}
#OrphanBot removes images with certain tags from articles using them.
#OrphanBot notifies the presumed uploader of the impending deletion.

What OrphanBot does ''not'' do:
#OrphanBot does not delete images.
#OrphanBot does not tag images for deletion.
#OrphanBot does not evaluate fair-use claims.
#OrphanBot does not edit templates.
#OrphanBot does not edit user pages.
#OrphanBot does not tag unused fair-use images. That's ].
#OrphanBot can not check for copyright so please put in a description.
#OrphanBot is not responsible for every image that gets deleted.

===Current development status===
Working on improved bot. New behaviors:
#Better Wiki-access code for increased reliability.
#Automatic detection and tagging of images with no fair-use rationale.

===Current task status===
* Cleanup of ] and ] every day.
* Automatic tagging of no-source, no-rationale, and untagged images is ongoing.
* Assorted tasks by request
*:Current: Tagging unused by-permission and non-commercial-use images for deletion.

===Bot statistics===
As of June 1, 2006, OrphanBot has inspected 63,976 images, removing images from 33,698 articles, 1,266 portals, and 64 categories. The bot has handed out 36,988 warnings to 23,925 users.
