Purpose

The purpose of this bot is to monitor WP:AIV, WP:UAA and associated subpages, and check if reported users are blocked.

The bot also has several other, related tasks:

Add and remove the {{adminbacklog}} template as needed
Mark IP addresses in special IP ranges with descriptive comments
Reset the instruction block as necessary when it is changed
