This bot runs on Wikimedia Toolforge as graphbot. Toolforge is part of Wikimedia Cloud Services and subject to the Cloud Services End User Terms of use. Tool account Kubernetes status SAL

This bot creates .tab and .chart files for old graphs that use the graph extension on the English Wikipedia. These graphs no longer display, however using the new chart extension requires .tab and .chart files, which are repetitive, and usually can be automatically generated with the information that is already available. All graph generation is invoked by displaying the en:Template:PortGraph template on the english wikipedia.

To shut this bot down, create the page User:GraphBot/Shutdown.
