RocketBot [edit]
- Operator: Rocket000
- Automatic or Manually Assisted: Mostly automatic.
- Programming Language(s): Possibly some python, but right now just an AWB bot.
- Function Summary: Miscellaneous formatting tasks
- Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Whenever I get in the mood to run it.
- Edit rate requested: As fast as AWB goes with auto-save.
- Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No.
- Function Details: I planning to use this bot account to do various different formatting tasks. For example, help update old pages still using the old format, correct typos (Speceis -> Species), add missing colons (Species -> Species:), and similar tasks. I run a flagged bot on Commons occasionaly so I have some experience and always run new tasks manually for a bit to test them out.
Discussion [edit]
Approved for trial (50 edits). Ah, I tried to use AWB to do those fixing too, but I guess my skills just aren't that good yet. Let's see 50 edits and determine from there. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll try to spend those 50 edits doing conversions from the old format since that's probably going to be the most complicated task (biggest room for error). I had some regexes already written but it looks like they need some tweaking first. Rocket000 05:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, done. Rocket000 05:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- On Diatrypini, it failed to catch a criteria.[1] Notice that genera didn't get removed of colons. OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, ignore those first three edits. :) My regexes improved since then. Rocket000 01:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Wish it could create taxon templates and transclude them to the levels below, but I guess that's beyond the capabilities of AWB. Anyways, it looks good so
