User:Mini-mitch/Sandbox Three/Bot enforcement

Because of the size of this wiki, global maintenance can only be done through the use of a bot. Enforcement of any of the provisions of this document are subject to automatic enforcement by bot, without prior notice. It is therefore possible that you might occasionally get it into an edit conflict with a bot. Please don't take it personally; the bot has no ability to sense you're editing an article.

It is important to note, however, that you should not rely upon the bot to clean up your mistakes. It is always better to try to do things according to the MOS. Remember two key rules:
 * Bots are stupid. They absolutely cannot predict the precise way in which you will have violated this manual of style.
 * Bots can't be everywhere at once. It might be months until the next time that the spelling bot hits the page you've just edited.  So spell things correctly now, or else your mistake might persist for an unexpectedly long time.

From time to time, a bot shall execute a script whose sole function is to clean up the code. It shall run on every page in the main namespace, as well as several other namespaces. This script will in no way change the way that a page appears. But it will perform a number of menial tasks on pages, such as:
 * the removal of extraneous spaces, per T:SPACING
 * the insertion of leading and trailing spaces in section headers, per T:HEAD
 * the placement of exactly one space following a full stop, which isn't required, but is allowed by T:SPACING
 * the placement of exactly one space between a symbol which creates a list (i.e., * and #) and the following text
 * consistent capitalisation of namespaces, such that — for instance — file: becomes File:
 * the elimination of some redundant pipe tricks — human would become simply human, for instance
