Operator: Unidesigner
Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, Supervised.
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: Not yet written. But basically it should just be a string replacement to add the link
Function overview: For a neuroinformatics/neuroscience project, we are building a semantic wiki with brain region/brain connectivity information. We have extensively linked many brain regions to wikipedia, but we want to have hyperlinks in wikipedia to our project, the ConnectomeWiki as well.
Edit period(s): one time run (later again)
Estimated number of pages affected: ca. 250 pages
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function details: Adding a link to appropriate Brain Region pages in wikipedia to the ConnectomeWiki's page.
Is there any reason you want to run this bot yourself instead of requesting an experienced bot operator to add the links?
Also, has there been any discussion here on Wikipedia as to whether those links are appropriate (e.g. at WT:WikiProject Neuroscience, WT:WikiProject Anatomy, or WT:WikiProject Medicine/Neurology task force)? Anomie ⚔ 14:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC) reply
Who is behind this proposal? I ask because it appears that Unidesigner ( talk · contribs) has a total of two edits.
Also, I would ask for the external link to be identified, and some sample pages given where the link might be added. Johnuniq ( talk) 07:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC) reply
Someone advertise to at least WP:VPR, WP:ELN, and the talk pages of the wikiprojects mentioned above; WP:VPR is probably the best venue to host the discussion. Once that's done, even if it's not done by Unidesigner, feel free to {{ tl}}-out the OperatorAssistanceNeeded template. Anomie ⚔ 22:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC) reply
[1] I posted a discussion, and I removed the template. I'm not sure if I should comment it out or something else. -- IP69.226.103.13 ( talk) 03:22, 10 November 2009 (UTC) reply
{{ BAGAssistanceNeeded}} Suggest this be closed as denied per the VP discussion, including the bot op's comment there. The ConnectToMe wiki apparently just isn't mature/established enough yet. The bot op can always try again in the future once the wiki has grown and matured. -- Cybercobra (talk) 02:39, 16 November 2009 (UTC) reply
Denied. Agreed, the consensus in the VP discussion is clearly that mass linking to this wiki is not appropriate at this time. Anomie ⚔ 05:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC) reply
