Operational details

The bot maintains several collections of galleries. It does not make any edits to pages outside of those galleries.

Once a week, on Mondays, the bot fetches the lists of files in use on various MediaWiki instances and uses them to update corresponding sets of galleries:

• Commons:Files used on Wikimedia Österreich Mitglieder from Mitglieder
• Commons:Files used by Wikimedia Australia from Wikimedia Australia
• Commons:Files used by Wikimedia Czech Republic from Wikimedia Czech Republic
• Commons:Files used by Wikimedia District of Columbia from Wikimedia District of Columbia
• Commons:Files used by Wikimédia Magyarország from Wikimédia Magyarország
• Commons:Files used by Wikimedia UK from Wikimedia UK
• Commons:Files used by Deoband Community Wikimedia from Deoband Community Wikimedia
• Commons:Files used by WikiConference North America from WikiConference North America
• Commons:Files used on ÖsterreichWiki from ÖsterreichWiki
• Commons:Files used on the AARoads Wiki from the AARoads Wiki
• Commons:Files used on the OpenStreetMap Wiki from the OpenStreetMap Wiki

Once a day, the bot fetches a list of values of the image and wikimedia_commons keys in OpenStreetMap using Taginfo and uses them to maintain subpages of Commons:Files used on OpenStreetMap.
