User blog:Head of Ravenclaw/Files, Files Everywhere!

As you can tell my the blog title, I am writing this in regards to Echo and I's major image sweep. As Echo pointed out, we have over 17,000 files on the wiki. To put it lightly, that's a lot.

For the past few days, I have been working to get my bot to work on inactive users. I'm happy to report that today, I have completed my bot and I will begin processing files immediately.

With that being said:

Bots make mistakes. If the bot is not programmed perfectly, there may be some flaws. Hopefully there won't be, but just in case there is, this is what I need you to do to protect your personal files.
 * 1) For files you don't want, add them to the 'Candidates for Deletion' category
 * 2) For files you do want, add them to Category:Unused Not Deleted1. This is considered the "exception" in the bots framework, and will not be touched.
 * 3) If one of your files is deleted by accident, contact either Echo or myself so we can get the file marked correctly and restored
 * 4) If you see any errors made by my bot, leave a message on it's talk page immediately. It will stop all edits made by the bot, and it will alert me to look at what is wrong.

Happy Roleplaying!
