This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits thatappear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, pleaseblock it.

Thisbot runs onWikimedia Toolforge. Administrators: If this bot needs to be blocked due to a malfunction, please remember to disable autoblocks so that other Toolforge bots are not affected.

BracketBot checks all edits to see if all open brackets({[< have matching close brackets>]}), and informs the editor that their edit may have broken some markup if there is a mismatch. In order to reduce false positives, it will not message the editor if one of these conditions is met:

• It is not in the main namespace.
• It is fixed within ten minutes.
• There are no unmatched brackets for the whole article.
• It finds the unorthodox numbering system of 1), 2), … or a), b), …
• The edit summary contains "rv", "revert" or "!nobot!".
• The edit hash matches a hash in the previous 50 edits (the edit was a revert).
• The user hasopted out of BracketBot messages.
