[edit] User:Wherebot

I'm willing to put the bot on as soon as it is approved. Here is the info (below): -- Where 00:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Bot operator: w:User:Where
  • Aim of the bot: detect copyright violations
  • Script used: w:User:Wherebot
  • 'Already approved on the English Wikipedia

Done, assigning responsibility for the bot to User:JWSchmidt. sebmol ? 17:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:HagermanBot

  • Bot Operator: User:Hagerman
  • Aim of the bot: Automatically detects unsigned comments left on the talk namespaces as well as requested pages (indicated by placing the page in a special category). It places the {{unsigned}} template after the comment. If the user leaves 2 unsigned comments within a 24 hour period, the bot leaves a message on the users talk page with information on how to properly sign a comment.
  • Language used: Visual C# .NET
  • Already approved on the English Wikipedia See HagermanBot

Please run the bot without flag for a couple of days so we can get a picture of how it works. sebmol ? 11:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, the bot is running. Please contact me if you have any questions. Best, Hagerman 23:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Done Granted bot status after test phase. sebmol ? 09:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:MichaelBillingtonBot

  • Bot Operator: User:MichaelBillington
  • Aim of the bot: Checks pages on the open proxy project for IPs which have been missed, then relists them on WV:OP for blocking. Also categorises subpages of the project and archives lists which contain only blocked IP addresses. (so it's really an all-round helper bot for the project)
  • Language used: Visual Basic
  • Already approved: English Wikipedia under the same name (though that bot runs different software)
I wrote this after I noticed I missed a large number of IP addresses on the first open proxy list (a thing best to avoid) Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 11:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Additional feature. I would like to have this bot also approved to post RSS feeds for Wikiversity blogs if a template is present. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 07:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Please run it without bot flag for about a week to test its abilities and check for bugs. sebmol ? 07:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Done Granted bot status after test phase. sebmol ? 19:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:It (tagbot)

I'm not sure I quite understand the purpose of this bot or how it works. Can you post a simple demonstration that does not rely on Wikia? Feel free to use the bot account for that. sebmol ? 07:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

This bot is running fine so far on de.WV (since it is just a piece of software and we know all Murphy's law: at least the edits I saw when asking the bot operator to do some changes). ----Erkan Yilmaz Wikiversity:Chat 22:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Done ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 20:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Computer

  • Bot operator: User:White Cat (Commons:User:White Cat) - En-N, Tr-4, Ja-1
  • List of botflags on other projects: Bot has a flag on wikimedia (meta,commons) wikipedia (ar, az, de, en, es, et, fr, is, ja, ku, nn, no, ru, sr, tr, uz, simple...) (See: m:User:White Cat#Bots)
  • Purpose: Interwiki linking, double redirect fixing, commons delinking (for cases where commonsdelinker fails)

-- Cat chi? 17:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Bot uses pywikipedia and AWB framework. ----Erkan Yilmaz Wikiversity:Chat 00:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
So far missing basic criteria:
  • indicate on bot's user page:
  • which program / language is used (Pywikipedia, Ruby, javascript...)
  • who the owner is
  • choose a name containing the word "bot" so that editors realize they are dealing with an automaton - see also Name should include bot ?
Please also have a look at the other expectations.
Anyway the projects where the bot is running seems quite impressive (though not each checked on the list from m:User:White Cat#Bots, e.g. also de.WV is listed, but the status not given there yet). ----Erkan Yilmaz Wikiversity:Chat 19:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Some feedback already at other Wikiversities about the request there:
Contributions at this Wikiversity to see how the bot is operating, ----Erkan Yilmaz Wikiversity:Chat 22:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
