Howdy, I'm theleekycauldron – I operate GalliumBot :) he handles the maintenance and update of various statistics and record pages for Wikipedia:Did you know. I've been wanting to operate a bot for quite some time – this account has existed since February 2022 – but he's only been active since October 2022, when I finally pushed myself to finish up some of the scripts I'd been sitting on.

GalliumBot's pronouns are he/it, mainly because it's silly that some inanimate objects are referred to as "she". Might as well get in on the game. The name "Gallium" is a few puns rolled into single username:

1. Like gallium, the metal that melts at 85.6 °F (302.9 K), I tend to not do so well in the heat.
2. Allium is the genus that contains leeks :)
3. "gal" is a non-standard pronunciation of "girl"

Presumably, none of that is gonna stop Tamzin from blocking it for violating the naming policy.

The se itation rrangement ptimizer (cacao) is an in-progress project to sort out Category:Redirects from case citations.

The Wiki t nalyzer, esetter, and istributor (cupboard) is an in-progress project to manage various facets of the WikiCup. It currently has no published source code.

The YK ddition and emoval otary (darn) script detects modifications made to Did you know hooks when they are in the preparation areas or Main Page queues. When those modifications are detected, they are logged at the article's nomination talk page – see Template talk:Did you know nominations/Measure VY for an example of this.

The motion ounter o, stensibly, ank (proctor) script maintains WP:DYKPC, a record of DYK prep builders and the number of promotions they've made over their months and years of service. The proctor script also maintains several lists in GalliumBot's userspace:

• /proctor/open will tell you that you closed a specific nomination, on a specific date. Each nomination is sorted into month-by-month subpages according to the date the nomination was opened.
• /proctor/close will tell you that you closed a certain number of nominations in a month. Each month-by-month page contains a sort of leaderboard, counting nominations according to the date they were closed.
• /proctor/user will tell you how many nominations you closed in every month. Each subpage is dedicated to one user, listing their numerical count, percentage of the total number of nominations closed, and rank among promoters in each month.

The tale e bject entifier (sinusoid) looks for pages that are tagged with {{in use}}, {{under construction}}, or similar, but haven't actually been edited in a long time. The results are stored at the task subpage and then transcluded to the relevant categories. Maybe at a later date, I'll have the bot actually remove tags, but for now, it's just a log.

The bulator of nverified ights erboxes (taurus) looks for users who are in a category corresponding to a certain user group, but aren't actually in that usergroup. The results are stored in the task subpage.

The clusion rrier and over (transfem) script shuttles nominations between WP:DYKN and WP:DYKNA, removes closed nominations from those pages, and returns lost nominations to them. It has a subprotocol, the clusion aster pproval oreboard (transmasc), which maintains several subpages.

The iews alyzer for xtraordinaire (vandyke) script updates the monthly tables and analytics pages of Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics, collating and adjusting pageviews for articles during their Main Page appearance. The vandyke script also notifies nominators when their hooks meet a certain viewcount threshold. The source code currently consists of three parts:
