Table format

The following vim commands transform the category list (obtained by copying and pasting from category:WikiProject Oregon pages) into the wikitable body:

:%v/[Tt]alk:/d          "delete misfiled articles (not tagged on talk page)
:%s/^ *\* //            "remove leading space and asterisk from bullet list
:1,$!sort
:%s/^Category talk:\(.*\)/|[[:Category:\1]]||category/
:%s/^File talk:\(.*\)/|[[:File:\1]]||media/
:%s/^Portal talk:\(.*\)/|[[Portal:\1]]||portal/
:%s/^Template talk:\(.*\)/|[[Template:\1]]||template/
:%s/^Wikipedia talk:\(.*\)/|[[Wikipedia:\1]]||project/
(remove lines with ^Talk: to create /Admin2 body)
:%s/\n/\r|-\r/          "add table row delimiters between every line

For the article

(restore lines with ^Talk:, remove other lines to form /Admin body)

TedderBot

Since January 22, 2010, TedderBot updates the page, as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Admin2. The updates occur daily at 00:00 UTC (16:00 PST or 17:00 PDT). The actual time of update is a few minutes later due to processing time.

TedderBot does not actually "update" the page, but it determines the new content exclusively from the category (as described above) and overwrites the page content. Edits intended to correct the contents are effective up to 24 hours, and then ignored. —EncMstr (talk) 20:49, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A power outage from the windstorm of Sunday March 15 at my house lasted 14 hours. I noticed (five days later) the computer did not power on due to the UPS not restarting. So the Admin and Admin2 pages haven't been updating. They should resume on the next scheduled cycle. —EncMstr (talk) 00:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. (And, sorry to hear about your long outage at home!) SJ Morg (talk) 05:36, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
