I've devised a three-step plan that will hopefully help us get back on our feet and running again.

First step (part of this thread is for voting on a bot): Get my bot, 652Graystripe's Bot, running. Vote yes or no below.

Second step: use the bot to flag all articles with the Cleanup template on them with the Cleanup category, for helping sakes. This is the part that requires all users to step up their activity a little and start marking the articles that need cleanup templates as well as fixing them. I know it's easier to tack a template on and forget about it, but for the wiki to actually get cleaned up, we need to take action.

Third step (hopefully not going to happen) would have the bot delete all the articles with cleanup templates on them, if possible limiting it to the 97-98% that are older than a week. You have to understand that I would not do this unless you guys okayed it! Remember that if your ideas are clean, you have nothing to fear. This is mostly a last resort that I'm putting forth here, and I'll update the thread if I and the other mods feel like it's necessary.

Place your votes/commentary below.
