Wikipedia:Database reports/Forgotten articles/Configuration

All content on Wikipedia has to be freely licensed. This configuration page isn't needed any more anyway since the code that generates this report is now on Github and is totally different (since the original bot stopped working a while back). Kaldari (talk) 07:37, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer that the page simply be updated with the latest source code and crontab entry. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:10, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- How about a link to the source on GitHub instead, so that we don't have to maintain it in two separate places? Kaldari (talk) 05:38, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I always put the source code on the wiki so that even if the Git repo gets deleted or moves or whatever, there's a copy of the script on-wiki and in database dumps. I'm not sure duplication is a terrible thing, as even having an outdated version of the script is better than having no script. However, I suppose a link to the source code would be better than not having a configuration subpage at all. --MZMcBride (talk) 13:35, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
