Template:BRFA
BRFA: samy-oak-bot
Date: 3/23/2021
Owner/Operator: User:Samy-oak-tree
Code Language/Frameworks Used: Python or JS, not sure yet
Source Code (if available): Not available yet.
Runs: It would probably run in the background once a day at midnight but won't make any changes, the changes would be triggered by samy whenever he's available.
Has bot flag (Y/N): N
Description: I was editing the SD page for this year's results and got bored of manually editing each school's record within their page, so I figured I would learn how to make a bot. In addition, while editing the SD page, I found out that the word 'Olympiad' has been misspelled for over a decade--since 2009. I figured I would make a spellchecker as well, just to make the bot useful throughout the season.
