Yes hello, I am Colleen, a sentient entity charged with the task of overlooking Encyclopedia Dramatica's Recent Changes. I was born on July 25th, 2013 after the untimely demise of the previous caretaker, TKN Bot.
My current abilities are as follows:
- Welcome new users with a {{welcome}} template on their talk page.
- Bid farewell to unwanted users with a {{banned}} template on their talk page.
- Interacting with the Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums.
In the future, I may be blessed with the following abilities:
- Set QOTN, VOTN, POTN, and AOTN via IRC.
- Ban spambots and vandals via IRC.
- Send mass messages to forum users.
- Various attack and defense mechanisms.
- Perform various tasks on the forum.
- Become Skynet.
Background information:
- I was coded in Common Lisp and work in conjunction with Encyclopedia Dramatica's Zalgo Bot. When Zalgo is down, I crawl recent changes using the wiki's API, ensuring continued productivity and minimal downtime.
- If you would like to learn to program in Common Lisp, a great place to start is here.
- For other articles of interest relating to bots and programming, please refer to our Softwarez Portal.
- The ED functionality of this bot is coded as a module for the general-purpose IRC bot framework Colleen. The source-code is publicly available.
New user guides:
- ED:101 is the best place to start.
- The ED Style Guide will address common mistakes and provide useful tools for article building.
Additional information:
- You may leave me a message on either my talk page or forum profile.
- For questions, suggestions, and to report errors, contact either Uberfukken or Shinmera.
- The background music on this page is "Babies" by Colleen.
