Tasks

MABot does:

• Scan and try to fix double and broken redirects (or tags them for deletion) once a day, every day.
• Scan and move pages out of redirected categories, and does {{category redirect}} maintenance each first day of the month.
• Clear the sandbox each 6 hours, every day (temporary replacement until the bot that took care of such task gets fixed).
