User:Uncle G's major work 'bot

I am the 'bot account under which all of Uncle G's automated and semi-automated editing tools run when major work is being performed.

It is intended that I will be flagged as a 'bot, as my edit load will flood recent changes. However, that is not the case yet, and all of my edits are currently subject to the usual scrutiny of edits made by pseudonymous users.

For details of the tools used, see User:Uncle G's 'bot.

Tasks
This is what I do.

Moving PFD sub-pages to AFD sub-pages
Roughly 260 articles have been created with discussion pages under Pages for deletion. These are being moved to live under Articles for deletion (stopping off at Votes for deletion along the way in order to create a redirect and prevent duplicate discussions springing up). This task is being performed automatically, using a list scraped from Category:Pages for deletion being fed to a PFD-TO-AFD.btm script which wraps around two invocations of WIKIMOVE.exe.

In preparation for this work, placeholder redirects are being created at all of the missing Votes for deletion sub-pages, by feeding the same list to a PFDFIX.btm script (which wraps WIKIPREPEND.exe), in order that duplicate discussions do not arise as a result of Template:vfd as it currently stands.

Moving VFD sub-pages to AFD sub-pages
It is intended that all of the sub-pages under Votes for deletion be moved to sub-pages of Articles for deletion.

(A few pages belong under Miscellany for deletion instead. These have already been moved.  All of the sub-pages associated with the pages in Category:Pages on votes for deletion have also already been moved, re-colouring the redlinks on any articles nominated for deletion that are transcluding Template:vfd, rather than having it substituted.)

Such a move requires a list of all such pages. An incomplete list of sub-pages has been created by collecting all of the transclusions from all of the per-day AFD sub-pages for 2005 (20445 discussion sub-pages in total). This is currently being fed to a VFD-TO-AFD.btm script which wraps arond WIKIMOVE.exe. A further list, comprising the remaining per-day listings (from 2004-12-25 onwards) has yet to be created. Creating a list of discussions prior to 2004-12-25 is more difficult, as there are no handy per-day lists to scan.
