Mismatch reports for Featured and Good Article lists

What it does

The section headers and documentation should be self-explanatory.

Technical

The bot runs from my local computer. It is in GNU awk and uses the WP:BOTWIKIAWK library.

GitHub: https://github.com/greencardamom/FaGaMbot

Known trouble points

  • If the bot(s) ever stop working the most likely cause is a change in syntax at Wikipedia:Good articles/all or Wikipedia:Featured articles. The bot parses these pages and expects a certain format. The functions are getlistfaa() and getlistgaa() in fambot.awk and gambot.awk respective.
  • If a page name is reported mismatch but otherwise looks exactly the same, check for hidden characters by deleting from the source list (eg. Wikipedia:Featured articles) and manually re-typing - not copy-paste.
