Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/O bot
- The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. The result of the discussion was Approved.
Operator: O
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, but manually initiated
Programming Language(s): python (category.py)
Function Summary: Adds, removes, and moves/renames categories by request
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run (by request)
Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: This function of the bot uses pywikipedia's category.py to add, remove, and move/rename categories with lots of pages. Requests will be taken at my talk page or another predefined page, where a link to a prior CFD or other discussion to prove consensus is needed. A sampling of how the bot will work is available at Commons.
Note: This bot was formerly VshBot.
Discussion
[edit]So this is on talk-page requests only? Aren't CFD's already being handled by bots at Wikipedia:CFD/W? What would make somone change the rename proceedure to come talk page you? — xaosflux Talk 01:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Nothing—I somehow scope the CFD out as well. (→O - RLY?) 01:06, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Go ahead and trial, up to 100 edits. Can you wikilink the categories, and the CFD (if exists) in your edit summaries for easier reseach? — xaosflux Talk 23:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Trial done. Here are five diffs for different categories moved from Wikipedia:CFDS (where a backlog was at)
- [1] - generic summary
- [2]
- [3]
- [4] - uses a custom summary with cats wikilinked and "per CFDS" appended
- [5]
The first three diffs use the generic summary. However, the last two use a custom summary, which I will be using for any future cat moves. (→O - RLY?) 17:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How will your edit summary appear for ones from Wikipedia:CFD/W? — xaosflux Talk 23:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Approved. —METS501 (talk) 19:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
