Function[edit]This bot patrols[1] newly created pages in the main space, and matches the contents against a web search. Pages found to contain a significant portion of text taken from another web page are tagged (and categorized) for human attention according to some guidelines:
If the 'bot modifies the newly created page in any way, then it will also leave a message on the creator's talk page, and on suspected copyright violations to bring attention to the apparent problem. Additionally, the 'bot watches and/or updates a number of subpages under its user page for runtime configuration, directives and status information.[3] Operation[edit]The CorenSearchBot is meant to function continuously, without direct human supervision. Program[edit]CorenSearchBot is written in Perl and takes advantage of the new Mediawiki API for everything. The source code can be perused here, but it's not pretty. Footnotes[edit]
