user account is a
bot that uses
AutoWikiBrowser, operated by
Magioladitis (
talk). It is used to make repetitive
automated or
semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the
bot policy. The bot is currently inactive but
retains the approval of the community. To stop this bot until restarted by the bot's owner, edit its talk page. If that page is a redirect, edit that original redirecting page, not the target of the redirect. Administrators: if this bot continues causing harm after receiving a message, please block it or remove from the approved accounts. |

Yobot is a bot account operated by Magioladitis. It is a multi-purpose bot which edits in both main space and talk space.
Yobot started its career in the English Wikipedia by working in categorizing individuals in categories concerning the year, date and place of their birth/death, the time period they lived in, their profession, etc.
Before contacting: Read instructions below carefully. Maybe the answers are there.
Some things about tagging people as alive or dead |
---|
|
In order to request bot tagging for a WikiProject, you'll have to follow the following rules:
How to request bot tagging properly |
---|
|
These rules were created after discussions in bot requests, many bad experiences with broken category trees, editors requesting tasks against wikiproject's consensus etc.
Q: Yobot bypassed a redirect of a WikiProject banner. Isn't this against
WP:NOTBROKEN?
A: WP:NOTBROKEN deals with links in pipes. The main reasons for NOTBROKEN are (a) that the link shown in the main window and the text on the bottom should be the same so that editors do not get confused and (b) the wording should not exclude the possibility that articles more relevant to the redirect might be created in the future.
Expanding the names of shortcut banner names, helps new editors to understand what these banners are about and makes wikicode easier for reading. When the expanded name is of a standard form, it also helps automated bots add shells around WikiProject banners where necessary.
Q: Yobot tagged an article incorrectly with WPBiography. What do I do?
A: Read instructions in the green box above.
Q: How Yobot decides how to tag for living =no or =yes?
A: The methodology is based on the
WP:DUCK principle. If the article is in
Category:Living people then the person is alive, if it's in xxxx deaths, yyyy births (where CURRENTYEAR - yyyy > 121), zz-th century people (where zz < 19), etc. then the person is dead.
Q: Do you have a list of false positives?
A: For Tagging people as living/dead I have a
list of false positives.
Q: What is the four-digit number in the parentheses next to "AWB" in the bot's edit summary?
A: It's AWB's current build. This helps AWB's developers in bug fixing.
Q: What is the two-digit number (or numbers separated by a colon) next to "CHECKWIKI?"
A: It's the specific CHECWIKI error fixed by the bot. The list of errors and explanation of what each number refers to can be found in
User:Magioladitis/AWB and CHECKWIKI
Q: I don't want your bot (or other bots) to mess with my talk page. What do I do?
A: Contact me. You can also check {{
bots}}.

Yobot operates with the help of AWB and Kingbotk plugin. In 2017 Yobot was approved to use WPCleaner for certain tasks. Depending on the task a different list of settings is loaded. Yobot will run though lists created by AWB or by different appropriate tools found in the wmflabs server and were created by trusted editors.
Main tasks

|
Single run tasks
|

|
This list is not exhaustive. It contains the main tasks done by the bot in the period June 2008 - January 2013. It mainly helps Magioladitis to keep track of my actions and feed me with new tasks. The log served as a tool to stop bugs and bad editing in the past.
The period 1 January - 13 March 2010, I ran task 9 daily to talk pages of recently created biographies of living people. This task now is performed by LaraBot.
Software involved a lot in the recent years and bugs were reduced.
