Wikispecies:Bots/Requests for approval/SchlurcherBot
Appologies for posting in English. Also, I could not locate a dedicated page for bot request in English Wikispecies, so I am posting here. Please direct me to the correct page if one exists. Thank you.
- Bot name: User:SchlurcherBot
- Bot operator: commons:User:Schlurcher
- Bot task: Automatically convert links from
http://tohttps://(secure protocol migration) - Technical details: Please see meta:User:SchlurcherBot for full details, including the expected number of affected URLs on Wikispecies.
- Bot flags on other projects: Global bot status granted. Also flagged on English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, and Commons. For a full list, see: sulutil:SchlurcherBot
- Comment: The bot is globally approved and active on the top 10 Wikipedia projects. As this wiki has opted out of the global bot policy, I am requesting permission to perform these link updates on Wikispecies as well. Please let me know if a local bot flag can be granted or if you have any questions. Thank you. --Schlurcher (talk) 07:59, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- There is no "English Wikispecies"; Wikispecies is a multilingual project, like Commons.
- As I'm making 50+ requests on all kind of projects, I use a templated solution, which did not work out here. Now corrected. Thanks. --Schlurcher (talk) 08:20, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- How does your bot deal with websites that are still using only the http protocol?
- There is no "expected number of affected URLs on English Wikispecies" (nor Wikispecies of any flavour) on the linked page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:07, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: To answer your questions: 1) There are an expected 640'405 pages with http links on this project, as given on the linked page under specieswiki. 2) If any of the checked links fails (http or https), then nothing will happen. This will be the case for all websites that are still using only the http protocol. --Schlurcher (talk) 08:06, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you; support.
- Please use the bot to make 50 test edits. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:30, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

- Support curious why this was put here we do have a bot request page. But not a real issue. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 16:54, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Faendalimas: Main reason was that I was unable to identify your bot request page. That was my oversight error. I'm making 50+ requests across multiple projects and whereas your page is listed on Wikidata I might have overlooked it. --Schlurcher (talk) 14:28, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment I have moved the conversation from Wikispecies:Village Pump to this bot request page, and transcluded this page on Village Pump for discoverability and continuity. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:11, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- Bot flag granted. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 15:28, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you. I've also added the bot to Wikispecies:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON and Wikispecies:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage, in order for the bot operator to see the Bots tab and be able to use the AutoWikiBrowser function properly. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 18:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC).
