Programming language(s): c++

Source code available: no

Function overview: Updating stuff for huggle

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): daily

Estimated number of pages affected: 1 + other projects where this would be enabled, for trial only on english wp

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function details:

  • Help with maintenance of whitelists across wikimedia projects (sorting, removing wrong entries) - there is a need to remove invalid entries, other way huggle is having a lot of troubles updating

Discussion

  • Where are the whitelists stored on the projects?
  • How are the "invalid entries" defined?
  • Can you elaborate on "Synchronize warning templates of huggle with templates project (it would create a copy of templates and change the syntax)"? What do you mean by "templates project"? Does this create huggle specific templates for all project's templates? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:53, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
1: Wikipedia:Huggle/Whitelist
2: duplicate entries, unsorted data
3:It would copy the templates from Wiki project user templates to the Template:Huggle templates and changed its syntax to correct for huggle. Petrb (talk) 13:02, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (1 week). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. One page, WP namespace, needed maintenance for Huggle. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it wouldn't be approved I will have to stop it, thanks for review Petrb (talk) 07:38, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete. so? Petrb (talk) 17:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have you been actually checking the edits yourself? [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Wikipedia usernames are not case insensitive. How does the bot determine this is the same user? User:WhosAsking =/= User:Whosasking; User:Keithh =/= User:KeithH; etc. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 07:11, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to solve it Petrb (talk) 13:43, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A user has requested the attention of the operator. Once the operator has seen this message and replied, please deactivate this tag. (user notified) Have you yet? It shouldn't be difficult to make it case sensitive surely? - Kingpin13 (talk) 19:07, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't about changing a bot, we need to change way how names are stored in whitelist (for this I need to talk with other people who use our whitelist for own purposes, I think cluebot uses it too), bot can't check if two similar users are or not same user Petrb (talk) 17:07, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
