<del>subster.py can also be used to update the used bot revision number in wiki.</del>

Another idea for a bot is given in: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bots/Anfragen&oldid=77370441#Vorlage:FIFA-Rang_aktualisieren

This could be done by something very similar to subster.py and thus would be quite interesting.

According to the ideas mentioned in <del>DRTRIGON-93</del> (and http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer_Diskussion:Grip99&oldid=92123510#Subster) following concept:

-bot_control.py should have an additional operating mode (e.g. command line param "-ircrc") that runs all the time (has to be restarted by SGE in case of failures) and watches the IRC RecentChanges channel irc://irc.wikimedia.org#de.wikipedia. In case of a page changes the bot_control.py runs subster.py (as usual) in order to update the page. This would make the subster tags pseudo-dynamic (more dynamic than now). May be to simplify, only pages listed/enrolled on a special page are checked this way.-

<del>This would also avoid to increase the execution frequency of subster.py by use of SGE/cron(ie) since the bot would run all the time - this could open additional techniques (e.g. for panel.py or else) - but also give new issues... ![][1]</del>

Modified 'articlenos.py' code that can be inserted into 'bot_control.py' as ircbot mode for 'subster.py'. Should then be runned as long-running job and use SGE to re-start in case of errors.

Consider the fact that this is equivalent to substersim.py panel but more wiki-like since no external link or tool is needed.
