User:En/WisdomBot

Purpose

Possible tasks which could be done or are being worked on include but are not limited to:

• Auto compressing files
  Note:Confirmed currently impossible due to the servers blocking image uploads
• Automatically generating entity pages from an FGD (documentation such as how to use an entity would and should obviously still be done manually, this would just automate the boring and repetitive tasks such as copying and pasting keyvalues and whatnot)
• Combatting spammers
  Note:Also confirmed currently impossible due to the servers blocking quite a few functions from the library I use (or maybe the library is just outdated, no way to know for sure though)
• Porting all of Half-Wit 2 to the VDC
• Automatically archiving talk pages when they get too long

Deprecated templates to update

• Replacing instances of {{Shaderparam}} with {{this is a}}
• Replacing instances of {{Game color}} with {{Software}} counterparts

General information

• When was this bot created? This bot was created on Jan 1st, 2024.
• Why is there an emergency shutoff? While I can shut down the bot very easily myself, the shutoff allows other wiki members to stop the bot should they notice it malfunctioning while I am not currently watching it.
• Why does this bot exist? The VDC has a problem with lots of templates being created and becoming unused. This bot seeks to shift the focus of wiki editors from menial template stuff to more important work.

Past edits

As of writing (since there is no way to update this in real time) this bot has made over 2000 edits, which include actions such as:

• Moving around 250ish pages using {{lang}} to {{multipage}} compliant page names, while also updating the templates.
• Updating almost all pages using {{entity}}, {{format}}, {{Base brush multi}}, {{Base point multi}}, {{Brush ent}} and {{Point ent}}, as well as most of their derivatives like {{hl2 point}}, to use {{this is a}}.
• With the help of Thunder4ik, moving all pages from Category:Level Design Tutorials to Category:Level_Design
• Changing the name parameter of the Shader parameters and QC Commands category for 40ish pages so that they are sorted correctly in the category.
• Replacing all instances of {{Game name}} with {{software}} counterparts
• Marking useless templates for deletion (the pages marked for deletion were manually determined to be unused)

Why is this bot offline?

This bot is only occasionally active for specific tasks.

Note:This page had some formatting copied from User:PIPEbot's old page, it looked good and I figured it doesn't really matter.
