Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: [1]

Function overview: Background: This is one of User:HasteurBot's AfC tasks. HasteurBot was deactivated due to the death of its owner. I now have access to the Toolforge account that it ran on. This will be a direct replacement for HasteurBot 2, as modified by HasteurBot 9

The actual task: Traverse Category:AfC_submissions_by_date and its dated subcategories (starting with October 2008) to

1. Identify AfC submissions (using the page prefix Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/) that have not been edited in more than 180 days
2. Perform a null edit on the page so that templates and categories may be re-evaluated and populate the Category:G13 eligible AfC submissions category if appropriate
3. Give notice to the page author that the page is eligible for deletion and could be deleted in the near future
4. Also notify opted-in users who've touched an affected page as well. (This is from the speedily approved HasteurBot 9)

Edit period(s): Daily

Estimated number of pages affected: As many as there are drafts

Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I know this is a direct copy, but it never hurts to ensure everything's good. Primefac (talk) 23:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: Trial complete., edits at [2]. Only issue was that I failed to catch some mentions of HasteurBot in the output (Example), now fixed (Example). Best, --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 15:57, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
