Toolserver:CommonsDelinker

CommonsDelinker is a bot that removes image links on Wikimedia wikis for images that are deleted on Commons. It was originally written by [[Toolserver:
 * commons:User:Orgullomoore|Orgullomoore]] and currently maintained by Hoo man, Siebrand, and Krinkle. For more information on CommonsDelinker see its meta page. CommonsDelinker is a multi-maintainer project.

Source
CommonsDelinker is open source under the terms of the MIT license in the pywikipedia subversion repository.

Operation
The bot is run on a random server via SGE. A croniejob runs every minute on submit.toolserver.org that checks if the bot is still running and if not readds it as a job to SGE.

There are two bots: CommonsDelinker (job name: cd) and CommonsDelinkerHelper (job name: cdh). They run from separate source trees: $HOME/cd and $HOME/cdh respectively.

There also is a web interface in $HOME/public_html, which shows recent activity of the bot. This thing is currently a crappy PHP script.

Cheatsheet
Note that restarting CDH is often required when it stops reacting because of its crappy code or may not work.
 * To restart CD: qdel cd
 * To restart CDH qdel cdh
