Function details: This bot will handle announcements from the Arbitration Committee per the clerk procedures. It automatically creates the appropriate talk page section, adds the "Discuss" link at the bottom of the post, and crossposts to WP:AN and the talk pages of any users mentioned within the announcement. To prevent duplicate entries or the propagation of inappropriate posts, the bot checks to ensure that the last user to edit the noticeboard is an arbitrator or clerk before acting, and will not create sections with duplicate names on target pages. The clerks will be encouraged to verify that the crossposting was done correctly after each announcement.
