While it can do small things like fixing typos on a set of pages, or finding and replacing strings, it is not suited for more advanced tasks like maintaining the list of redirects, keeping chat logs, deleting/replacing categories, etc. The bot was never intended to perform all tasks. It would be used primarily for fixing links (for those pages with a lot of links) and updating templates on pages. Logging chat is outside my capacity and frankly, is not something I feel we really need right now, because there are no rule violations occurring on a regular basis within the chat. A logger wouldn't really log anything either, because very little actually occurs in chat.

Things like deletions, redirect maintaining and so on, would be managed by the sysops using a different script, not the bot.
