User:AlexNewArtBot

This user account is a bot operated by Alex Bakharev (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 was previously approved but has since been retired, 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 malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

The bot looks at New Articles and puts relevant articles into the New Articles lists of Portals and Projects. The goal is to help editors find new articles related to their areas of interest.

If you are interested in patrolling new pages, add importScript( "User:Fred Gandt/getUnpatrolledOfAlexNewArtBotResultsPages.js" ); to your account's common.js file before reading these lists. Requires the user to have the patrol right.

The script will create buttons on these pages, which on use will begin relevant searches to determine which new pages listed are still unpatrolled, and highlight those references/page-links.

All links in the page will open by default in a new tab or window, and visited pages will have the normal [Mark page as patrolled] option at the bottom right.

The bot is superseded by InceptionBot run by User:Bamyers99. InceptionBot still uses this page.
