Wikipedia:Bot requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by GoingBatty (talk | contribs) at 18:35, 1 March 2023 (→‎Bot to notify users when they add CS1 errors: Reply). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a page for requesting tasks to be done by bots per the bot policy. This is an appropriate place to put ideas for uncontroversial bot tasks, to get early feedback on ideas for bot tasks (controversial or not), and to seek bot operators for bot tasks. Consensus-building discussions requiring large community input (such as request for comments) should normally be held at WP:VPPROP or other relevant pages (such as a WikiProject's talk page).

You can check the "Commonly Requested Bots" box above to see if a suitable bot already exists for the task you have in mind. If you have a question about a particular bot, contact the bot operator directly via their talk page or the bot's talk page. If a bot is acting improperly, follow the guidance outlined in WP:BOTISSUE. For broader issues and general discussion about bots, see the bot noticeboard.

Before making a request, please see the list of frequently denied bots, either because they are too complicated to program, or do not have consensus from the Wikipedia community. If you are requesting that a template (such as a WikiProject banner) is added to all pages in a particular category, please be careful to check the category tree for any unwanted subcategories. It is best to give a complete list of categories that should be worked through individually, rather than one category to be analyzed recursively (see example difference).

Alternatives to bot requests

Note to bot operators: The {{BOTREQ}} template can be used to give common responses, and make it easier to keep track of the task's current status. If you complete a request, note that you did with {{BOTREQ|done}}, and archive the request after a few days (WP:1CA is useful here).


Please add your bot requests to the bottom of this page.

Bot to update WP:MOSTREFS

Wikipedia:Articles with the most references updates are done manually and majority of entries are severely outdated. It would be great if a bot could regularly handle the updates. Sanglahi86 (talk) 23:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My bot can do the job. Teddythedev (talk) 15:08, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
will update you when the bot is created. Teddythedev (talk) 15:08, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Sanglahi86: Hi. I think Community Tech bot might be able to do that. —usernamekiran (talk) 06:07, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sanglahi86: Hi. Did you post the request anywhere else? I think I might be able to create a script for that purpose. —usernamekiran (talk) 11:21, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Usernamekiran: Hello. I haven't posted the request anywhere else since I thought this was the best place to do so. It would be great if you could create the script/bot. I am not familiar with such technical stuff. Regards. –Sanglahi86 (talk) 13:28, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sanglahi86: Hello. I inquired so that I could update there as well that I am working on this. It will take around a week before I post the official bot request though. I will contact you soon. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:42, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Coding... Almost done, but needs some finalising work. —usernamekiran (talk) 09:12, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Sorry to bug you, but it has been almost a month now, so I thought of asking about the status of the bot being coded. Thanks. Sanglahi86 (talk) 19:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sanglahi86: Hi. The code is ready, and accurate. I tested it on small categories, but I want to optimise it further. Because of the lack of time, I think it will take around 4-5 days more to finalise the code/filing the official request for bot. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:11, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His/Her Majesty

  1. Create template {{HM}} that can hold "His Majesty" or "Her Majesty" depending on the sex/gender of the monarch of the United Kingdom.
  2. Create a bot to replace instances of "His Majesty" and "Her Majesty" with this template.

79.185.136.221 (talk) 19:57, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good suggestion for the ideas lab, and I can see a few uses such as His Majesty's Coastguard, but those words often occur in a phrase such as "Her Majesty the Queen" or "His Majesty King Charles" which needs amending anyway. There are also plenty of uses such as Her Majesty's Theatre which don't change when the monarch changes, not to mention many references to other monarchs around the world. Her Majesty served us for 70 years, and it may well be another 70 years until the UK next has a queen. Certes (talk) 21:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This has been discussed several times, and rejected as pointless – a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has fled. It will remain "His Majesty" until at least the current king, his older son, and his eldest grandson have died, and even longer if the grandson's first child is male. If we assume something on the order of a typical lifespan for each, then we won't need to make this change for at least another seventy years or so. Please come back and suggest this when the heir apparent is a woman. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:42, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Even then, if it's proposed for other countries for instance, or someone wants a bot to find current instances of 'Her Majesty' I still think this is a bad idea. Historical references should stay as they are, some organisations may not be renamed immediately (or ever), and unless we have a source that something has been renamed automatically, we should use the old one. JeffUK 00:14, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Finding instances of "Her Majesty" would be a useful task. The small sample I checked have all been updated diligently where appropriate but we may have missed a few which still need fixing. However, that doesn't need a bot: a simple search will do fine. Certes (talk) 11:30, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accelerated Mobile Pages link eradicator needed

There was a fairly clear consensus in the discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 202#Accelerated Mobile Pages links that "amp" links are a bad thing, and should be done away with. Can a bot be written that tests links to insure that a version with the ".amp" or ",amp" or "/amp" component removed will work, and if so, remove that component? BD2412 T 23:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, but I think it would need a per-site rule list, e.g. amp.example.com/(.*) → example.com/$1, because each site is free to choose its own URL semantics. It's even possible that some sites can't be unpicked (raw page at /raw/87293410.html; AMP at /amp/1934872.html) or don't work without AMP at all. Certes (talk) 12:42, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Coding... I can probably work on this; AmputatorBot offers an API for conversion of URLs, and a simple insource search returns many applicable results that can be further filtered with some regex. EpicPupper (talk) 18:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

translation

looking for a translation bot for work on the luganda Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.75.189.46 (talk) 07:01, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple requests

I am request a bot to:

  1. Remove/revert blank responses at Help:Introduction/feedback and the other feedback pages (though i question the usefulness of these pages altogether, looking at the responses).
  2. Automatically comment on WP:RFPP/E when the respective talk page is protected or redirects to a talk page (for example, if someone requests an edit to Wikipedia:Contents WP:Contact us/Licensing, the bot should comment that the talk page is protected).
  3. Comment at AIV, AIV/TB2, UAA, and UAA/BOT when the reported account is globally locked.

Bot to notify users when they add CS1 errors

Hi everyone! The page Help:CS1 errors#Most common errors shows a few categories that are quite large. I am requesting a bot operator to write a bot that delivers user talk page messages similar to JaGa's DPL bot whenever a registered editor adds an article to one of the most common CS1 error categories. The bot could use the watchlist to see which user added which article to which category, and then add a new section on the user's talk page detailing what the error means and how to fix it, with text similar to what is posted at Help:CS1 errors. Per the conversation at Help talk:Citation Style 1#Bot to notify users when they add CS1 errors, ReferenceBot used to do this many years ago. Legoktm has archived the code, and A930913 has declared all their code on Labs as CC-BY-SA. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 15:11, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GoingBatty, looks like feedwatchlist is the API module needed, as there doesn't seem to be a relatedchahnges one. — Qwerfjkltalk 12:52, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, I've been looking at doing this with wikitech:Event Platform/EventStreams; I'll see if I have any luck. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm wary about this... The citation templates are not always trivial to use - as seen in the vast amount of documentation that comes with them. If a lot of errors are being made by, say, new users, I'd be wary about bots bugging them to fix minutae that will require them to scour documentation and/or ping people for help, vs the patrollers just fixing the errors as probably currently happens. At worst it deters editing, at best it takes up more time on the part of potentially multiple editors vs what happens presently. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ProcrastinatingReader, it wouldn't be too hard to include how to fix the problem. — Qwerfjkltalk 12:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ProcrastinatingReader: There are many categories of CS1 errors that patrollers such as myself can keep up with, and I agree that sending notification for those is not worthwhile. However, for those categories with 24k-54k pages, something else needs to be done. I hope that posting on user talk pages - with the appropriate portion of the documentation - will teach people what they did incorrectly and encourage them to fix their own mistakes. GoingBatty (talk) 17:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that ReferenceBot did a pretty good job of notifying people in a reasonable way. Editors who understood the message were often grateful for the notice, just as I am when I receive a message that I have inadvertently added a disambiguation link to an article. Many of those editors were able to go back and fix their mistakes. Editors who didn't understand the message were likely to just leave it alone or never see it, which is fine; we can't expect everyone to understand all of this technical stuff perfectly.
Of note: you can see by the postings at User talk:A930913 that some editors wanted to ask questions about the notifications that they received, so there will need to be a few editors willing to field those editors' questions or fix the errors that those editors ask about. And of course there was often some gibberish posted there as well, so the bot operator and page watchers will need to be able to tolerate that level of noise. Huon and I found that talk page a useful place to spend some time, FWIW. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:19, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Yeah, I guess if it's done reasonably, including a quote of the relevant documentation to help fix the problem without actually needing to read the docs, then it could work. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 11:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95: Thanks for the additional background. I would be happy to be a bot talk page watcher. GoingBatty (talk) 02:59, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, can you provide some templated messages for each of the categories? — Qwerfjkltalk 17:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfjkl: Could you please provide an example of a "templated message"? If so, I could then copy text from the appropriate sections of Help:CS1 errors and adapt them for "templated messages". Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 18:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, I'm planning on the bot posting messages similarly to ReferenceBot. I just need a default message for each category, explaining how to fix the problem. Something paraphrased from Help:CS1 errors would be great. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
E.g. for the no title given error (bare URL): "Please fix this by adding a descriptive title to |title=." — Qwerfjkltalk 20:06, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfjkl: By copying and tweaking the pages for ReferenceBot and User:A930913, I created the following pages (which will need to be tested):
However, I think I'm still missing the section called by User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle where the details of each error come from and the suggestions to fix the text. Maybe A930913 can provide a suggestion. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 21:10, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, these look great! For /middle, I can pass on the error type (i.e. category), and a {{#switch}} statement could provide some guidance.
To test this out, I'll have the bot run and just add the messages to a sandbox instead of the user talk page. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:52, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, I've made a testing page at User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/CS1 errors. Note that the bot will deliver one message per edit (and page), but that edit may introduce multiple errors. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm coming late to this thread, and it's been a heck of a long time since I helped set up ReferenceBot, but this discussion and this discussion may possibly be useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
┌──────────────────────────────┘
@Jonesey95, I'd prefer to have the messages on enwiki, so it's easier to make any modifications necessary (some level of page protection is probably necessary). — Qwerfjkltalk 18:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfjkl: I can see the tweaks you made to the files and the improving results on User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/CS1 errors. Is it possible to add more info in the user talk message to guide users on how to fix the errors? It looks like the bot posts the user talk message about a minute after the error is made. Could the time be increased (maybe 15 minutes) to allow the user time to notice and fix the error on their own? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 21:26, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, it would be better if the messages were part of the template. I was thinking that the bot can pass in the category as a parameter, and the template uses a {{#switch:}} statement to prove a corresponding help message.
I'll see what I can do about waiting after the edit. — Qwerfjkltalk 22:19, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The bot should now wait around 15 minutes, and will only post the message if the page is still in an error category. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:08, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty, so could you look at adding some helpful messages to User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle? The bot will pass in a {{{cat}}} parameter, which a switch statement can use to provide the info. I'll probably use |cat=Category:CS1 errors: bare URLCategory:CS1 errors: missing title when both are present, as those don't need separate error messages. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfjkl: Yes, but I'm not sure about the format. Could you please change "Category:Example" to "Category:Example1" and add "Text1", and then add Example2/Text2, Example3/Text3, and Example4/Text4? I'll then replace that with the real category names and helpful text. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 18:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can we have an AIV feed a bot posts on IRC?

I used to have one but then the toolserver changed and somehow an account isn't easy to come by, now... (asked elsewhere before, maybe here will be more relevant...) ~Lofty abyss 05:16, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lofty abyss, do you have the code for it? — Qwerfjkltalk 08:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't quite remember which specifically I used years ago, but on searching there seems to be several possibilities: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:IRC_RC_Bot https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MediaWiki-Recent_Changes-IRCBot https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Administrator%27s_Handbook/Countervandalism_IRC_Bots
It's also, generally, what the cvn bots do already there, except this would need to be a more specific page that is watched. ~Lofty abyss 18:28, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Doing... I can take a stab at this. EpicPupper (talk) 21:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The code is avaliable here, though it may not work. The code is mostly written in PHP. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grape Cultivar Capitalization

I've noticed that there are widespread problems with compliance to MOS:BIOCAPS for grape cultivars and wine varietals. For instance, the MOS requires "Pinor Noir" to always be capitalized, but it is frequently written "Pinot noir" in Wikipedia. It would be helpful if someone could create a bot to properly capitalize grape varietal names per MOS. This would require taking something like List of grape varieties and checking that the names there don't conflict with non-grape terms. QuintinK (talk) 15:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP WikiProject Weather track maps

WP:WPWX is in need of a bot that can rewrite track map images using the new colors that were approved in a recent RfC. The bot would have to be able to utilize the track maker found here. These images are generated using input code that is run through the track maker software. NoahTalk 19:35, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I raised issues regarding this task in a previous discussion (see here). I feel that this request is too vague and lacks context, so I'll restate it here for visibility.
Changing the old track maps would be in violation of c:COM:OVERWRITE unless there's prior cross-wiki support from all wikis which use those maps and from Wikimedia Commons to get the bot task approved. The RfC only took place on this wiki, and the local English Wikipedia-only consensus cannot be applied across all other wikis which use these maps. Thus, the only realistic option given existing consensus is to upload local versions of every track map (and subsequently upload a wiki-local version of every newly-uploaded track for the foreseeable future). In such case, over 5,574 new images will need to be uploaded—1,846 of which require secondary verification (to verify accuracy or to resolve missing data), and 592 of which needing reconstruction by other weather editors (due to missing or unavailable data). This doesn't count future track maps, of course. Chlod (say hi!) 02:04, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Chlod: How about we upload new images to commons and let other wikis choose whether or not they want to switch given that some of the other wikis do follow us? We leave the existing maps as they are. NoahTalk 02:11, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricane Noah: That would not solve the issue of having to upload two versions to Commons, making the thousands of edits locally to switch to the new versions, and it would be out of the remit of English Wikipedia bot requests. Chlod (say hi!) 02:13, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If we get a request on commons for a bot as stated below, we could upload both versions there from here on out and simply change the maps here with a bot once an accessible version has been uploaded to replace the one here. NoahTalk 02:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is fine to make derivatives on Commons if the bot gets approved for creation there. That is indeed out of scope here but that is in the realm of both social and technical feasibility.
I don't see an issue with making a couple thousand edits to update maps locally, if the images are actually expected to be preferred here. Either way, the images will be free, and we do not want to host free images here for any of several good reasons. Izno (talk) 02:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They at least need to be changed at the local level considering the color scheme was approved via RfC. NoahTalk 02:28, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I put in a request on commons for the images that don't require any additional work or verification prior to an upload. NoahTalk 02:59, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricane Noah, could you detail the exact changes required for this task? What sorts of replacements should be made with the track maker? Thanks! EpicPupper (talk) 00:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in mind that the track maker part of this would need to take place on commons (request there is linked in my comment right above yours), however, the new images would have the adjusted color scheme which is shown below. The data is the same data used in the existing track maps (data can be found on each image page; there are databases containing the data) and these new maps would simply be new files. Commons:Category:Tropical cyclone track maps with track data as input code contains all the images that would be able to be redone via bot. The new images would need to placed within that category as well as Commons:Category:Tropical cyclone track maps with the 2023 scale.
Category Old Scheme New Scheme
Tropical Depression/Disturbance
Tropical Storm
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Category 4
Category 5
The on-wiki portion would involve changing all the existing file names within articles to match the files names of new track maps. NoahTalk 01:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@EpicPupper:

WP WikiProject Weather timelines

WP:WPWX is also in need of a bot that can change colors within timelines on articles. This would only involve substituting in the new color parameters that were approved in a recent RfC. I can provide more specific details on this if anyone is able to do this. NoahTalk 19:36, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricane Noah, I seem to recall something like this earlier. I may still have the code I used. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:58, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfjkl: Well... the colors are different now so the coding would be different, but yes, I see what you mean. The old request was at User talk:Qwerfjkl/Archive 9. Would you be willing to perform the changes? I could provide the new colors and appropriate categories of articles here. NoahTalk 20:03, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, please change any values of TY within the actual part where storms are listed to STY since typhoon is now strong typhoon. The legend name also changes from typhoon to strong typhoon. The VSTY and VITY need to be added into the timelines since those statuses are now being included (the VSTY and VITY are within the coding above). A caveat is that articles dated 1972 or earlier need to use the colors for the Atlantic/Eastern Pacific.

@Noah, I can probably do this, but I'm busy right now with several bot tasks. If anyone else wants to take this on, go ahead; otherwise I'll try to start on this soon. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:59, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
