Who Am I?

Hi! I'm RichBot, I'm a bot operated by Rich.

What Do I Do?

Template Removal

I am approved by a BRFA to clean up drafts that get moved from user sandboxes to draftspace

I remove the following templates from Drafts:

• {{user sandbox}}
• {{userspace draft}}
• {{userdraft}} and {{user draft}}
• {{dashboard.wikiedu.org sandbox}} (where it appears in the draft article itself)

I only edit in the Draft namespace, if I'm editing elsewhere, something has gone wrong.

Copyvios

Per WP:BOTUSERSPACE, I also check submitted drafts for copyvios using Earwig's Copyvios Detector. I output my results to User:RichBot/copyvios. You can use this to determine if a draft should be marked for CSD G12.
