Tasks

Patrolling

The bot automatically patrols pages listed on the Whitelist, which may be modified by anyone at present. See the bot patrol log.

Each line should start with a username, followed a list of entries which may be any of the following:

[[Pagename]] or [[Special:Prefixindex/<Pagename>]] : these two are functionally equivalent, as they permit the page or subpages to be created and modified. The latter is easier on the eyes if the former would be a red link.
[[Author:<name>]] : any page listed on the author page

Uploads

WFB Flags

Done This task is presumed complete but is waiting for the backlog at Category:Speedy deletion requests to be cleared.

Stage 1

As part of an audit of images on Wikisource, all of the CIA World Fact Book flags are now replaceable with higher resolution images uploaded on the commons using the naming convention [[Image:Flag of xyz (WFB 2004)]] with the notable exceptions of three flags which used by the WFB which are used only for islands of a sovereign country and for some unexplicable reason are different dimensions to the flag of that country: Image:Flag of New Zealand (islands) (WFB 2004).gif, Image:Flag of Australia (islands) (WFB 2004).gif and Image:Flag of Norway (islands) (WFB 2004).gif.

The exact replacements that will occur can be found and improved on /WFB Flags. The method used is described in /WFB Flags/Method.

Stage 2

After replacing the flag images, the old flags need to be tagged for deletion. In case any flags were not replaced, the bot will be tagging only png files that appear on Special:Unusedimages.

Command

python unusedfiles.py -ext:png \
 -tag:'sdelete|A1: all use of this image has been replaced with a higher res image now on commons'

Sample output

Getting 60 pages from wikisource:en...

Image:WFB Flag of Afghanistan.png
+ 
+ {{sdelete|A1: all use of this image has been replaced with a higher res image now on commons}}

EB1911

This task is to handle the problems outlined at Wikisource:Bot requests#1911 Encyclopædia Britannica maintenance one-use bot.

Once complete, the task specific changes to 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Header will be removed.

Problem 2 & 3

To fix these two, the header template will be changed to detect params "article", "nonotes" and any others that are not longer used, and place the articles into a category Category:EB1911 subpages needing header changes (a subcat of Category:Wikisource maintenance). The bot will then run through pages in that category and update the header as follows.

param "article" will be removed
param "nonotes" will be changed to wikipedia="none" if it doesnt already exist

Pages in the category after the bot has completed will need to be fixed manually.

Status	pending

Problem 5

There are a lot of EB1911 subpages with that have filled the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Header template with a wikipedia param of [[w:page|page]] which is unnecessary as that param expects just "page". The result was not pretty. A recent change to the EB1911 header has catered for this, hiding the mess, but it would be preferable to clean up the values in this param so that this kludge isnt needed.

To do this, the header will be modified to also categorise all subpages with the incorrect param value into Category:EB1911 subpages with incorrect wikipedia value (a subcat of Category:Wikisource maintenance). The bot will then run through pages in that category and fix the param value.

Command

python replace.py -summary:'fix wikipedia param' -family:wikisource \
                  -cat:EB1911_subpages_with_incorrect_wikipedia_value -regex \
    'wikipedia ?= ?\[\[[wW](ikipedia)?:([^\|]*)\|([^\]]*)\]\] and \[\[[wW](ikipedia)?:([^\|]*)\|([^\]]*)\]\]' \
    'wikipedia  = \2 | wikipedia2 = \5' \
    'wikipedia ?= ?\[\[[wW](ikipedia)?:([^\|]*)\|([^\]]*)\]\]' \
    'wikipedia = \2'

Problem 6

Currently, pages that are three levels deep are using {{header}} or {{header2}}. Changes have been made to {{EB1911}} to better handle pages that are three levels deep, so now a bot needs to convert to using the EB1911 capabilities. User:Psychless/Temp holds a list of EB1911 pages without a EB1911 header.

python replace.py -links:User:Psychless/Temp -regex '(?ms){{(h|H)eader.*title
*= *\[\[\.\.\/\|[^/]*\/([^]]*).*previous = *\[\[\.\.\/([^|]*)\|.*next *= \[\[\.\.\/([^|]*)\|[^}]*}}' '{{EB1911 | previous = \2/\3 | next = \2/\4 | wikipedia = "none"  }}'
