Wikiversity:Bots/Requests

From Wikiversity

Bots are processes helping editors to make systematic tasks on Wikiversity. You can request help from a bot on this page.

Please don't forget to:

• be the clearest possible when asking
• balance the time saved by using a bot and the time required from the bot operator to code/operate it. Sometimes manual edits are faster.
• make sure your request respects all Wikiversity policies and reaches consensus from the community.

Add a new request.

[edit] Importing

Is importing from Wikibooks bottable? It's pretty mind-numbing stuff. I'm not sure how it would work, since, in importing you have to specify what namespace to import it to and then move the page to an appropriate namespace within Wikiversity (as well as adding a template to Wikibooks (with the correct link) and deleting the obsolete page you originally imported to). Anyone who's done this will know what I mean. But perhaps it's too much to ask... Cormaggio 10:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I really should have taken a look at this earlier. I suppose all the en_wb importing has been completed already, but yes, importing could be automated through use of a bot by anyone with toolserver access (I was offered a toolserver account earlier, but having already left Wikipedia and being inactive on Wikiversity I couldn't see the point). Let me know via email if we still need such a bot. --Draicone ^(talk) 00:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

The importing is done. Wikibooks has been deleting the old Wikiversity pages. --JWSchmidt 00:44, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] talk page archiving

Can we import Werdnabot for automatic archiving of talk pages?--mikeu 01:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:Auto archive satisifies this request. Thanks! --mikeu 15:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] page update reminder bot

A bot that would watch a page and when the page has not been edited in the last X days, then post a msg to a user talk page that says something like "Wikiversity:News has not been edited in X days, please consider updating the page." --mikeu 15:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
