Got a massive cleanup task that would swamp Recent Activity if you went at it yourself? Want to replace an outdated category on a bunch of pages? Need every page you've ever made marked for deletion? Don't spam Recent Activity and make everyone ANGERY, just post about it here!

My lovely assistant BotBot Bot is the wiki's officially designated cleanup bot, here for maintenance wherever it's needed. Its function is basically running an advanced Find and Replace algorithm on targeted pages, which makes it especially useful for its main task of replacing incorrect categories. BotBot Bot's primary method of targeting a page is through a category, and while it has several other methods of locating pages, these other methods are usually either too general or too specific to be useful for cleanup.

BotBot Bot has been going for a while already (as you can tell by its edit count), but trying to keep track of what it needs to do has become a real pain, and as such, this thread exists to provide me with an easy list of the things I need to have it replace. If you point out a category replacement outside of this thread, please copy your request to the thread to make sure it actually gets done. Thank you!
