Perl/WP:AWB at the moment. I also use Perl to scan database downloads and to generate the XML for AWB. If requested I will prepare lists of articles for other users when I can. Where possible Helpful Pixie Bot will avoid pages with the {{Nobots}} tag.
and their synonyms and near-synonyms - something over 490 templates and 1900 redirects. (This should be exhaustive for those which are not merely planned -i.e all occurrences should be dated.)
At the same time SB corrects mis-spellings, mis-entry and mis-formatting of the date parameter and other template features where it can.

Notes
Notes:
When Helpful Pixie Bot is using AWB, some of the general fixes options will usually be turned on, to get the most value from the edits. Hence most edit summaries say "and/or general fixes".
Usually, the motivating change will be made or none at all. See the FAQ.
Per admin requests a build number will be displayed for some tasks.
Per admin requests the edit summary may be stuffed with a list of changes.

Thanks for all of your help, SmackBot! I rarely don't see you on an article's history page, always fixing mistakes and doing other laborious and repetitive tasks. Airplanemantalk 21:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
This is a self-awarded award awarded to anyone who feels so jealous that he has no awards that he had to award himself a self-awarded award to make his award section on his User Page look good. He also wants to see how many times in one sentences he can use the word "award" (last sentence was seven). If you feel jealous of others who prominently display their awards in their wiki User page, you can contribute productively to the all-knowing Wikipedia and hope that someone notices your hardwork and awards you an award. Or you can drop a message on my TALK passage and ask for a Jewish Star of Jealousy at which point the joint council of the Learned Elders of Zion and the Jedi Council will consider inducting you into the Jewish Star of Jealousy Hall of Fame which would give you the right to legally display your Jewish Star of Jealousy award in your very own Wikipedia User Page. I may also decide to randomly award this award to people or bots.--רח"ק

Poor bot. Being killed by ArbCom because of a dispute between us humans. If only our disputes didn't need to effect the poor innocent bots. You did good work. Rest in peace. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
