User:Demibot
 | This user account is a bot operated by demize (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 This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space.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 runs on Wikimedia Toolforge. Administrators: If this bot needs to be blocked due to a malfunction, please remember to disable autoblocks so that other Toolforge bots are not affected. |

Tasks[edit]
This bot is being written for one task specifically: to replace the talk page archive indexing formerly provided by User:Legobot and User:HBC_Archive_Indexerbot. Its operating instructions will be identical, and it should run once per day (or more often, if that's decided during the BRFA) once it's finished and approved. Questions, comments, and concerns are welcome: just drop me a message at my talk page.
Exclusion Compliancy[edit]
This bot is marked as non-exclusion compliant. Don't be alarmed! The reason for this is that the bot is opt-in by design rather than opt-out: it will only generate index pages based on a request, and if the user wants their indexes forgotten and abandoned, then they can remove the {{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/Optin}} template. Because of this, the bot doesn't pay any attention to the {{bots}} and {{nobots}} templates, and so it is not technically exclusion compliant.
