Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Perl
Source code available: On request, should be different parameters to the code used by tasks 1 and 5
Function overview: Purge/forcelinkupdate Category:Duplicate or hardcoded templates awaiting deletion
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Categories_out_of_sync
Edit period(s): 1/x day
Estimated number of pages affected: Looks like about 10-20 purges per day
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): y
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): y
Function details: As with CSD C1 (task 5), CSD T3 includes a delayed expiration, the deletion isn't to be carried out until, in this case, seven days have passed. The 7 day calculation is part of a macro inside the relevant CSD template, however, when looking at the categories, stale tagged templates are not visible, due to the same bugs that underly task1/task5. By virtue of a daily run through Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Categories_out_of_sync, will become visible relatively promptly in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unused redundant templates, at present I notice a few items that have lingered for 3 weeks or more without showing up when the latter category is viewed.
