User:SatyrBot
Wikipedia editing bot run by SatyrTN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SatyrBot is a bot created in PHP. It is run by me, SatyrTN, to help correct some common errors and generally help organize articles for various WikiProjects.
 | This user account is a bot operated by SatyrTN (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. The bot is currently inactive but retains the approval of the community. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
This bot runs in two modes. For some projects, the Bot identifies possible errors, and then I approve or discard each one.
For other projects, I set up a set of parameters and let the bot run in auto mode. Work done in this mode is usually described on the current project page. If the bot has made a mistake, or if there are any problems, leave a message on User talk:SatyrBot or User talk:SatyrTN.
WikiProject Services
SatyrBot has a number of scripts that it runs on a nightly basis. These include processing new articles for WikiProjects and reviewing articles to compile a "task list" for WikiProjects. Find out more about these processes at User:SatyrBot/WikiProject Services.
Tasks in Progress
- See Current project for info on fully-automatic processes that may be currently running
- Adding {{Geobox}} to cities, towns, and villages in Illinois for WP:ILLINOIS.
Previous Tasks
- Auto-tagging the talk pages of articles in {{LGBT-stub}} with {{LGBTProject | class=Stub}}
- Automatically adding {{WikiProject Spain}} to selected categories.
- Automatically adding {{WikiProject Basque}} to selected categories.
- Manually reviewing articles listed in Category:LGBT (and sub categories) to tag their talk pages with {{LGBTProject}} and correctly classify their assessment.
- Attempted to assist WP:GEO in placing {{LocateMe}} on article pages.
Possible or Future Tasks
- None currently.
If I may suggest a couple:
- When an article within the purview of a WikiProject (as indicated by the presence of a WikiProject template on the article talk page) is involved in a proposed merger (has a merger template on the article page), notify that WikiProject.
- Automated assessment of stubs - if an article has a stub template, assess the article (in the WikiProject template on the article talk page) as being of stub class. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 18:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
