User:DeadBot

This user account is a bot operated by TheFearow (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.
Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it.

This bot does various tasks relating to the dead-end pages list, as well as UAA.

For a log of what it has done, see the log file.

For the information on it's IRC control system, see User:DeadBot/irc.
