 | This bot deliversArticle alert report pages to subscribed projects and taskforces. Article alerts is a project that aims to deliver reports to WikiProjects and taskforces about which pages enter and leave certain Wikipedia maintenance workflows, such asWP:AfD,WP:PROD,WP:RfC,WP:FAC, etc. SeeWikipedia:Article alerts#Workflows covered for the full list. |
 | See theWikipedia:Article alerts/Subscribing page for a detailed guide. Basically, you will need either a distinct talk page banner your project is using, or a specific category all the project's pages are placed in. |

 | Currently,Hellknowz andHeadbomb can run the bot. The editor running the bot is marked in the edit summary as either (HK/13) or (HB/13), where the two-letter codes stand forHellknowz andHeadbomb. The latter number is the code revision. |
 | The bot doesn't flag the report page changes as bot edits so editors that deliberately watchlist the report pages can do so without enabling the bot edit visibility. The bot uses the flag for any other edits. |
 | The bot's coder (Hellknowz) is fairly busy in real-life and so changes and fixes are slow. The communityhas expressed desire to expand the project, including to other languages. The project to implement a new system, if not use the old bot,was under consideration by WMF, but the task was decided to be too involved. There are currently no future plans other than to run the bot as usual. |
