User:En/WisdomBot: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:34, 28 April 2024

This bot is due to have all of it's code rewritten from scratch
Due to changes in templates around the VDC, as well as just the quality of the previous code this bot is currently being rewritten.

Note:This bot is not perfect
While I am doing my best to account for all possible shenanigans a 19+ year old wiki worked on by 51,128 users can throw at the bot, sometimes pages this bot updates might have mistakes. However, small, easily and quickly fixable formatting errors are 100% worth it considering the amount of time saved by automating many of these tasks. There are over 2000 pages for instance which still use {{lang}}, which would take an eternity to update by hand.

Purpose

The current purpose of this bot is to transition pages using {{lang}} to {{multipage}}. Some work has already been done.

Note:Currently paused due to {{page}}

Other possible tasks which could be done 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impossible due to the servers blocking quite a few functions from the library I use (or maybe the library is just outdated, no way to know for sure though)

General information

When was this bot created? This bot was created on Jan 1st, 2024.
Why the name WisdomBot? Because it's like Wisdurm but not? Idk I had to come up with something...
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.

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:

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
Moving around 250ish pages using {{lang}} to {{multipage}} compliant page names, while also updating the templates.
Changing the name parameter of the Shader parameters and QC Commands category for 40ish pages so that they are sorted correctly in the category.

What user groups is this bot in?

This bot is a part of the emailconfirmed and Autoconfirmed users

volvo tak

user groups. It is not a part of the bots, administrators, bureaucrats or suppressors user groups.

How is this bot operated?

This bot is run as a simple exe file on my computer. It utilizes the

DotNetWikiBot Framework.

Why is this bot offline? (this does not update live)

See the notice at the top of the page.

Subpages

Sandbox for edits (eg. testing the bot)

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