This user account is a bot account that uses Pywikibot Pywikibot, operated by BetweenReality (talk).
It is a legitimate alternative account used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.

... or it would be, if it worked. As far as I can tell, it appears that the recently added Anubis kills any and all bot traffic, including a simple bot like this. Maybe that's why I haven't seen anyone else's bots doing work recently.

Well, if it's ever able to run, this bot's purpose would be to automate some tedious tasks that I've been doing, stuff like removing uses of deprecated templates like Template:Border-radius among other things. As it stands though, it'll have to lay dormant until bots like this are allowed again.

If I'm wrong about my assessment here, please notify me. I made a whole account only to get stuck on step 1 of connecting to the site, so it would be great if there was something simple I'm missing and this can easily be fixed.
