Thread:Project:Support desk/I want to hire someone to make a bot for me

I have some automatable link maintenance I'd like to have done by bot on my wiki. It needs to be something I can run when I need to, and it should do the following:


 * 1) Go to each page in Category:Arguments and find each link that's in a second nested number outline (i.e. the counter-arguments here) and go to that link, make sure it's linked to in the "Linked Arguments" field in the template there.
 * 2) Go to each category in Category:Subjects and make a redirect to it (if there isn't one) from the same page in the main namespace. So, if "Category:Love" exists but a page entitled "Love" does not, make a redirect from the latter to the former.
 * 3) Go to the external links sections of the templates on each argument and subject. If a parameter isn't filled but it is in one of the subject overviews in a category it is a part of, fill the parameter as it is in the subject overview. (I realize this sounds complicated, but it's not really; take this argument page, which has links to articles on homosexuality. Right now, the Atheist Wiki has no such article, but if one is written, I'd have to add it to every single page in "Category:Homosexuality". That can be automated by a bot filling in a link with whatever subject category it is a part of uses.)

Ideally, I'd like the bot to show me what changes are going to be made before doing them, and giving me a chance to reject some.

If you want to do this, please email me at modrobene AT theonosis.com, and give me an idea of how long you think it would take you. I have no idea what to offer right now, because I haven't the foggiest idea how long it would take someone to do it. Thanks!
