It would only run once a day, manually initiated by me. It checks the page on Bungie.net and updates Challenges and Challenges/year-month accordingly. From the log on the Scratchpad wiki you can see I've been testing running it more than once per day, to make sure if someone else happened to update the page manually my bot doesn't make unnecessary edits. It's goal is always to find and alter the challenges table in whichever page. That way edits made by other users to other parts of the pages are unaffected by my bot. | It would only run once a day, manually initiated by me.

:I've continued updating the pages manually and testing my bot on the scratchpad wiki. There were a couple of kinks around the first of the month, though I'm pretty sure I've ironed them out.

I would like to request to have [[User:The 888th Avatar|Avatar's]] bot flagged so he can set it to work on redirect fixing, talk page archival, other general pywikipedia and AWB tasks that mine doesn't currently do. Case example includes fixing redirect links within an article to make a direct, rather than a redirecting, article link. - | I would like to request to have [[User:The 888th Avatar|Avatar's]] bot flagged so he can set it to work on redirect fixing, talk page archival, other general pywikipedia and AWB tasks that mine doesn't currently do.
