- When I filed my bot request for approval, I did not know whether AWB was exclusion-compliant. Now, I have found the answer.
- Put {{bots|deny=AWB}} on the top of any page that you don't want AWB to edit.

Tasks[edit]
Task 3 was converted from AWB to PHP. Tasks 3, 4 and 5 run hourly on my desktop PC, at the top of the hour.
Tasks 3, 4 and 5 also run hourly on the Toolforge jobs framework, at 40 minutes past the top of the hour. Commands I used to start this hourly run:
wbm1058@tools-sgebastion-10:~$ become billsbots
tools.billsbots@tools-sgebastion-10:~$ cd php
tools.billsbots@tools-sgebastion-10:~/php$ toolforge-jobs run unsynced-dab-redirects --command "php ./php/unsynced-dab-redirects.php" --image php8.2 -o ./logs/unsynced-dab-redirects.log -e ./logs/unsynced-dab-redirects.log --schedule "40 * * * *"
Task 6 runs monthly on my desktop PC, on the 12th of each month.
