User:B-bot/source

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The source code for User:B-bot uses the DotNetWikiBot framework. For the sake of brevity, I have omitted the things like my test functions or routine utility functions. (If a BAG member needs the whole thing, please let me know and perhaps I can email you the entire solution.)

Source code for individual tasks[edit]

Each task has its own class and they are all derived from a common class that has some shared functions that do things like checking for {{bots}} tags, unescaping strings (which oddly, though I tried to find a built-in method, there didn't seem to be one), managing connections and delay times, and other miscellanea.

The source code for tasks of this bot can be found at these pages:

Bot edit permitted[edit]

This is the code used by any bot I create to check to see if a bot is permitted to edit a user page to leave a notification. It handles some possibilities that the examples at {{bots}} do not.
