Programming Language(s): Perl, mvs framework + code by Oleg Alexandrov from
WP 1.0 bot
Function Summary: Create tables of the articles rated in WP 0.7
Edit period: daily
Edit rate requested: 1 edit per 10 seconds, estimate 20 edits total per day for this request
Already has a bot flag(Y/N): Y
Function Details:
This bot creates and updates tables based on the WP 1.0 article rating system. It was already approved to make some tables for the Math project; that function very recently grew to 24 edits per day.
I was asked to also set up the bot for "Version 0.7." The discussion is
here. I set up the code for this and debugged it but haven't turn on the automatic update. The main table is
here, which illustrates what this bot does.
By the way, I recently changed the bot code so that the only pages it edits are subpages of its user page. The math wikiproject transcludes these where it wants then, which gives a clean separation between the bot's edits and wiki edits. I would use the same
system for WP 0.7.
Other projects may also want me to set up the bot for them. I want to include in this request the possibility of doing so; the setup would be very similar to the setup in this request.
