is run by. The bot updates Australian Wikipedians' notice board/AfD with the content in WikiProject Deletion sorting/Australia, it runs once a day. The bot is approved(see here).

How this bot works
For the non-programers (and the programers who don't want to read through the source code(even though it's got lots of comments)) below is the steps that this bot goes through to perform its daily tasks :


 * 1) Start
 * 2) Login
 * 3) Get text from Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Australia
 * 4) Sort through text to find articles for deletion and add them to a list
 * 5) Sort through list and remove articles already on Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board/AfD
 * 6) Get the dates from the remaing articles on the list
 * 7) Add these Articles to the top of Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board/AfD
 * 8) Make a list of articles that are not on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Australia but are on Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board/AfD
 * 9) Remove these articles from Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board/AfD
 * 10) Shutdown
