User:BirthdayBot

General
BirthdayBot is a Wikipedia bot run by Extranet that primarily uses perl to do a number of tedious tasks at a faster rate than a human editor. The bot checks the calendar of birthdays for the current day, and sends either a birthday template, a first edit day template, or adminship anniversary template to that user's userpage. It will most likely be run on the Toolserver.

Running
The bot will be run temporarily by ST47 until Extranet gets a permanent toolserver account to run it.

Tasks

 * 1) Checks the calendar of birthdays for the current day.
 * 2) Sends either a birthday template, a first edit day template, or adminship anniversary template to that user's userpage.

Emergencies
If the bot seems to be malfunctioning, please block it. This will give both ST47 and Extranet time to diagnose/fix the problem.
