<p>MysteryBot assists with administrative and security tasks and is the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica:Nuclear revert|Nuclear revert]] of legend personified. Robotified. Whatever.  He is maintained by [[User:WhiteMystery|WhiteMystery]]. MysteryBot uses the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetwikibot DotNetWikiBot Framework] to interface with the site. If he does something stupid please send [[User:WhiteMystery|WhiteMystery]] a message so he can log the problem and adjust the way the program works.  Thank you.</p>

==Command Interface==
Sysops can interact with and give commands to MysteryBot by saving the page [[User:MysteryBot/command]] with one of the following.  Wait for an acknowledgement (page will change to FINISHED) before sending another command.  He checks the page every 10 seconds independent of all other actions.

* '''SHUTDOWN''' - Emergency shutdown if the bot is misbehaving.
* '''PAUSE''' - Keeps the bot running but prevents it from taking action.  Remember to turn this off when you're done!
* '''ENABLE X''' - Enables one of the bot's tasks, replacing X with one of the (command: X) values from the list above.
* '''DISABLE X''' - Disables one of the bot's tasks, replacing X with one of the (command: X) values from the list above.
* '''REMOVE X''' - Removes all instances of X, where X is <Link>targetpage</Link> or <Template>templatename</Template> or <Category>categoryname</Category>.
: ''Example:'' REMOVE <Template>deletedtemplate</Template>
* '''REPLACE X WITH Y''' - Replaces all instances of X, where X is <Link>targetpage</Link> or <Template>templatename</Template> or <Category>categoryname</Category> and Y is <Value>replacementtext</Value>.  The replacement value for links is cleartext, so you have to include wiki markup if you want to substitute another link or template.  The replacement value for templates and categories is automatically added as a template or category, respectively.
: ''Example:'' REPLACE <Link>naughtyword</Link> WITH <Value>cleanword</Value>
* '''INSERT X AT Y CRITERIA Z''' - Inserts the text, link, category, or template specified by X at the top of bottom of the page, specified by Y, based on any of the criteria specified in Z.
: X is a single value that can be one of: <Text>text to insert</Text>, <Link>link to insert</Link>, <Category>category to insert</Category>, or <Template>template to insert</Template>.  You can include piped parameters in templates.
: Y is a single value that can be one of: <Location>Top</Location> or <Location>Bottom</Location>.
: Z is one or more values that can be any mix of: <Link>page to which all pages that link here should be tagged</Link>, <Category>category from which all pages should be tagged</Category> or <Template>template to which all pages that contain this should be tagged</Template>.
: ''Example:'' INSERT <Template>subject|da</Template> AT <Location>Top</Location> CRITERIA <Category>DeviantART</Category>
* '''RBPLUS USERS X SOURCE Y''' - Performs a global rollback on one or more users contributions or a list of pages, undoing all contributions by one or more users.  X is a one or more users, with each name surrounded by the <User> tag:
: ''<User>Username1</User> <User>Username2</User>''
: Y is one or more sources, surrounded by the <Page> or <Contribs> tags:
: ''<Page>Pagename</Page> <Contribs>Username</Contribs>''
: A sample command to undo all of Vandal1 and Vandal2's contributions would be:
: ''RBPLUS USERS <User>Vandal1</User> <User>Vandal2</User> SOURCE <Contribs>Vandal1</Contribs> <Contribs>Vandal2</Contribs>''
: If you want to undo a vandal's new page spam, add the flag FLUSHNP to the end of the command:
: ''RBPLUS USERS <User>Vandal</User> SOURCE <Contribs>Vandal</Contribs> FLUSHNP

''Note: Enabling or disabling a task won't cause a task in progress to stop or cause a disabled task to fire immediately upon activation.  The bot will simply perform or not perform the task on its regularly maintenance cycle.''
