Automatic or Manual: Automatic supervised
Programming language(s): Java
Source code available: No (at least not yet)
Function overview: MMABot will edit MMA figher articles, specifically the Infobox and MMA record history table, to comply with several Wikipedia policies, manuals of style, and MMA Wikiproject consensus issues.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Discussion of this bot at the MMA Wikiproject and User talk:MMABot with details of task implementation with other users' comments and suggestions.
Edit period(s): Multiple times per week, initially. Over time, as articles become more consistent the interval may be reduced.
Estimated number of pages affected: 1,571 (based on the numbers from "Category:Mixed martial artists by nationality" [1])
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): N
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function details:
Task Number | Task | Status | Brief Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Standardize record section headers | Trial | Convert "MMA record" section header to "Mixed martial arts record" as well as correct any incorrect capitalization as per MOS:CAPS. |
2 | Standardize & cleanup MMA record tables | Trial | A MMA record table lacking the {{MMA record start}} and {{end}} templates will have them added and the non-templated headers removed. For all tables with the MMA table template the following tasks are performed: Remove any row-wide center alignment tags. If needed, add center alignment tags to the record, round, and time columns only. Remove any left alignment tags. Correct any misaligned 'record' and 'result' columns. Remove any {{yes}} or {{no}} tags in the record column. "Raw" dates in the table are converted to using the {{dts}} template. When a fighter's name or location appears multiple times in a table, the first appearance will be linked, all others will be de-linked. In the method column, any text between parenthesis will be put in lowercase letters only. The location column will "United States" or "Canada" added if it is missing and the location is a state or province. If the notes column is missing from the table, it is added. |
3 | Remove flags from location column of record table | Trial | If the location column of the record table contains a flagicon it will be removed. |
4 | Cleanup martial arts Infobox | Trial | All flag icons in the Infobox will be removed. Any color icons in the rank field of the Infoxbox will be removed. |
5 | Verfication of record (win/loss) between recordbox and infobox | Trial | A check of the win/loss numbers between the recordbox and infobox is performed. If the numbers do not match, a message is given to the operator for a manual examination. |
This will be my first bot. I look forward to discussing this bot and addressing any concerns. I've been testing this bot in its sandbox and its recent history will show what all it is doing. As for exclusion compliance, I have answered 'no' above simply because I have not implemented that functionality (and I am unaware of any MMA fighter articles with the bot exclusion tag). If approval requires this functionality, it would be trivial to add it back in (especially since the code is on the {{bots}} information page). -- TreyGeek ( talk) 00:53, 5 July 2011 (UTC) reply
Can't see any red flags - Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. - I am intentionally not putting a limit on your trial, keep going as long as you need to and are confident that the bot is correct. Then report back. -- Chris 14:00, 7 July 2011 (UTC) reply
Trial complete. I've been running MMABot in mainspace the last few days and has edited 80 articles thus far (30 of which were the same as what was copied into its sandbox during testing). At this point, other than rare odd-ball formatted articles, the bot is doing everything correctly. -- TreyGeek ( talk) 02:19, 13 July 2011 (UTC) reply
The edits I've looked at all seem good - Approved.. Just make sure you keep an eye on the bots changes, and are responsive to feedback/problems/criticism etc from users. -- Chris 12:32, 15 July 2011 (UTC) reply
