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
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]
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]
