I know that Anthony_DiPierro was running a bot to update his own personal subpage to keep a track of the hourly discussions... but since the format on VFD has changed, he has not fixed his hourly discussions. I would like to use a bot for the purpose of updating a subpage on my user page, keeping a track of all the new discussions being added by the hour. -- AllyUnion (talk) 04:26, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm in need of a script. I recently found a large dump of classical music, all CC-by-SA. I used wget recursively to fetch all of it (650 files; 5.29 gigs). I need to upload them now. I'd like to do it with a unix command line program. I figure the syntax should be something like:

cURL might already do what you're after. It's what I use for putting automated content into the Wikipedia - (I'm only adding article text, and I'm doing it using PHP's cURL library, so I don't think my code is likely to be of much use to you, otherwise I'd just give you the code). Nevertheless I think it should be able to do what you're after from the command line.
The following args look most applicable:
If you're lucky then maybe someone has already done this using cURL on the command line, and will let us know the command they used.
Docs and source code available at: http://curl.haxx.se/
Note that you'll probably have to call it multiple times (e.g. using "xargs"), if you want wildcard / multi-file-upload functionality.
All the best, Nickj (t) 08:08, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I talked it over with Kate ,and here's what we got:
The first one logs in Bob (whose password is asdf) and creates a cookie jar containing the log in cookie, and the second one actually does the upload (of file Bob_test_file.txt with description This_is_a_test). I tested, and the first one works *I think* but the 2nd one does not. I could appreciate someone helping debug it. →Raul654 09:38, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
Debugging - Raul, you did good, and you were 95% of the way there:
With the first command:
With the second command:
Putting all that together into two commands, we get:
curl -F wpName=Nickj -F wpPassword=NotMyRealPassword -F wpLoginattempt="Log in" -F wpRemember=1 --cookie-jar ./mycookies "http://commons.wikimedia.org/?title=Special:Userlogin&action=submit" > output1.html

On all pages moved to VFD/Old: On their talk pages, include a link to the VFD discussion, with a signed name. On all VFD subpages, include <!-- {{subst:Vfd top}} --> on the top and <!-- {{subst:Vfd bottom}} -->, with no finalization of the count. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:25, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Can someone make a bot to go through the 366 days of the year and put links into the BBC's on this day page? They come in the format http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/month/date/ replacing month with the month, and date with a numerical date, not including a leading zero, 9 not 09. Dunc| ☺ 22:39, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. The link ought to go into an external links section in the pages in the style of " February 20" rather than the little ones that appear on the front page. It should be possible to go to March 18 (say) on any date of the year and the link should link to http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/18. If it is coded into the article text with {{}} then that will always take the user to today's article, rather than the date in the article title. Dunc| ☺ 12:45, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I am responding to a request given at Wikipedia:Bot requests for a bot that cleans out the sandbox. The request is that the bot should clean the sandbox every 6 hours.
The following sandboxes will be cleaned every 6 hours:
This bot will be running under User:Sandbot, and using either Template:Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading) or a similar template. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:27, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
There has been a change, due to a request. All tutorial related sandboxes will be cleaned out every week. -- AllyUnion (talk) 18:39, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Recently there have been some 'general' articles on VfD pages to establish consensus on inclusion (or exclusion) of certain groups of articles. It would be useful to have the link (or {include}) to those articles placed on the top of each day's VfD page. I've been doing this manually but would prefer the VfD bot to handle this; would that be ok? Radiant! 11:40, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
Ok, this is my first attempt at a bot, so if I seem to be missing anything, let me know. The main reason I created this bot is that I wanted to have a bot that changes flag images. What I mean by that is replacing one flag image from here, with another, which can be either on here or at the Commons. An example would be (which will be a test run if approved), is switching from Image:Belarus flag large.png to Image:Flag of Belarus.png. Not only this will free up the many images we use here at Wikipedia EN, this will also do the work that I have done by hand for months. And, if we ever go to svg conversion, this bot can be used to help in the conversion. While I am not sure how long it will take before it can be approved, but I am an idiot in dealing with programming and could use some help on trying to make the bot work.

As per discussion on Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion, I'll be making WP:VFD into a list of day links probably during the day (UTC) on Sunday 13 March 2005. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion (full list) (or WP:VFDF) will be the full list with all day pages transcluded for a multi-megabyte monster page. I've left notes on Wikipedia talk:Bots and User talk:AllyUnion about the change - David Gerard 09:41, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
(copied from my and AllyUnion's talk pages — Korath ( Talk) 01:36, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC))
Also, as long as I'm here, could I trouble you to tweak Vfdbot to add a <!-- Please do not add new vfds here. Put it on the appropriate day's page instead. --> or something similar to the previous day's page when updating the list of days currently transcluded into WP:VFD? I catch two or three vfds a week being added to the first day listed on vfd instead of the current day, and sometimes two or three a day where they're added to yesterday's page just after midnight UTC. The latter aren't a problem if they're missed (and I don't bother to correct them even when I see them), but the former certainly are. — Korath ( Talk) 00:28, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

Request done. -- AllyUnion (talk) 00:27, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I am modifying Sandbot to reinforce the existence of the header every 30 minutes (all sandboxes). The main sandbox will be cleaned every 12 hours instead of every 6 hours. -- AllyUnion (talk) 22:36, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Manually archiving DYK items to Wikipedia:Recent additions is still managable, but can anyone with more knowledge about bots tell me if it's possible to automate the archiving process (also outlining the pics correctly).
It should:
I'd also love for template updates to be automated during weekends and holidays, when no else seems to do them, but that may not be possible because that would require the bot having admin access. - Mgm| (talk) 10:11, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
The text that needs archiving would be only a section of the page. Complete page moves wouldn't be necessary. It's just text that needs to be copied, then deleted at the old location. Mgm| (talk) 14:45, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
Update: The code is still being written, however I have a good idea what this bot does. Some definitions for the purpose of anyone who wishs to know:
-- AllyUnion (talk) 08:50, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Update: I've been writing this code for several days now. It kind of works... but not really. I have posted up the code at User:AllyUnion/did_you_know.pl. If anyone manages to produce a correct output, I'll give them a Barnstar. -- AllyUnion (talk) 03:35, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm still on a semi-Wiki-vacation. But I took some time, and I think I fixed the bot now. -- AllyUnion (talk) 13:13, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Works. Running monthly under User:Kurando-san. -- AllyUnion (talk) 22:03, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User:NekoDaemon has been assigned to automatically do the following things:
-- AllyUnion (talk) 05:44, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I have created Template:cleanup-date to replace Template:cleanup. It is intended to make it easier to use Category:Wikipedia cleanup in a first in, first out fashion. I would like to use Pearle to change cleanup tags to cleanup-date tags. The first data source would be the per-month subpages of Wikipedia:Cleanup, which I will analyze offline and feed to the bot. For all remaining uses of the cleanup tag, I would have the bot look at previous versions at one-month intervals, to determine the month in which the tag was originally assigned. -- Beland 02:09, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Due to the change of how VFD is run, the VFD Bot will perform the updates on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion (long form) as before, and perform the new styled updates on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. -- AllyUnion (talk) 04:58, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
I've written a program that crawls the offline dump looking for paragraphs that end without punctuation. If I run this to help me find articles to (manually) edit, does that count as a bot? Do I have to limit my manual edits to some rate? Brighterorange 14:21, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

The purpose of this bot is to move nominations with a signed initial nomination to the 14 day holding period after 14 days have been passed. -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:31, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I have written a small script to automate the MS Internet Control to do various substitutions on the German wikipedia and am requesting bot status for de:User:RKBot. -- Reinhard 21:20, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have created Template:cleanup-date to replace Template:cleanup. It is intended to make it easier to use Category:Wikipedia cleanup in a first in, first out fashion. I would like to use Pearle to change cleanup tags to cleanup-date tags. The first data source would be the per-month subpages of Wikipedia:Cleanup, which I will analyze offline and feed to the bot. For all remaining uses of the cleanup tag, I would have the bot look at previous versions at one-month intervals, to determine the month in which the tag was originally assigned. -- Beland 02:09, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Due to the change of how VFD is run, the VFD Bot will perform the updates on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion (long form) as before, and perform the new styled updates on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. -- AllyUnion (talk) 04:58, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
I've written a program that crawls the offline dump looking for paragraphs that end without punctuation. If I run this to help me find articles to (manually) edit, does that count as a bot? Do I have to limit my manual edits to some rate? Brighterorange 14:21, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
