Botwork on bg.wp during 2008

From Cpp Tea :: Articles

The bot proofreads bg.wiki

Yeah it's true. Today my bot, Michaello got bot flag on bg.wiki. In the past it was removing interwiki links to ru-sub.wiki that was closed (78 edits), standardizing links to main articles (213 edits) and nowdays it is proofreading. Only today it made over 1100 edits and will do much more in the future.

During this portion, in period 22.01.2008 - 01.02.2008 bot had 2302 proofreading edits in total, and 2290 were fully valid edits.

Template positioning

Last two days and today I am processing categories on bg.wikipedia. Namely, the task is to move the template Template:ComonsCat over the tempate Template:Категория wherever both elements occur. The first must occur exactly over the second, no matter what stands under or above, and the lowercase/uppercase variations of the names as well as template arguments may (and do) occur. It all turned out to be a rather very large work, with over 4000 categories to be updated. With long timing (15 seconds) between two edits, and not letting bot work while I am absent or while I sleep, the job just reaches its 34th hour right now but it will be done today.

Switching to recent changes

Just like on sr.wp, today I modified the bot to make it able to run through recent changes and list of new articles. In the bg.wp, bot runs for cyrlat reparations and for grammar stuff. Here is one of the logs it made:

These modifications are being done because of a great lag of dumps on wikimediа servers.
