Wikiversity:Bots/Status

This page allows bot operators to ask for approval to use a bot on the English-language Wikiversity.

Please read Wikiversity policy about bots first.

Bureaucrats are able to give and remove bot status using the Special:UserRights feature. Request are usually handled after about 7-10 days, to allow time for comments and questions from the community. If you do not receive a timely response to your request, feel free to leave a message on the talk page of a Bureaucrat.

Older status requests are Archived.

* '''Automatic or manually assisted''': 
* '''Purpose of the bot''': 
* '''Edit period(s)''': 
* '''Programming language(s) (and API) used''':

@DannyS712: Please start a discussion in the Wikiversity:Colloquium to confirm which pages should be tagged as {{Uncategorized}}. Looking at Special:UncategorizedPages, I don't see any problems tagging main space landing pages, but tagging subpages doesn't appear to add value. Perhaps they could be updated with {{CourseCat}}, but the community should have an opportunity to discuss this first. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:01, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Texvc2LaTeXBot

• Bot name: Texvc2LaTeXBot (talk | email | contribs | stats)

• Automatic or manually assisted: automatic but closely monitored
• Purpose of the bot: to replace deprecated syntax in the LaTex mathematical syntax
• Edit period(s): A one off run affecting 2233 pages.
• Programming language(s) (and API) used: python/piwikibot
• Other projects that are already using this bot: enwiki, dewiki many other wiki across the whole of WikiMedia sites.
• Additional information: All ready running on the English wikipedia at en:User:Texvc2LaTeXBot. Has sucessfully run on many other wikis, the update plan is described in mw:Extension:Math/Roadmap. The bot will apply 10 regexps replacing deprecated syntax inside <math>...</math> tags. The code has been tested to eliminate false positives. The bot is operated by Salix alba on English language wikis and meta:User:Debenben on German and other language wikis.

Y Done @Salix alba: I set it for a one year expiry only due to the limited scope of the request but would be happy to extend it if you have further tasks in the future. --mikeu ^talk 23:26, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
