MagnusA.Bot

Operator: MagnusA (talk) (sv:MagnusA)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually Assisted (later maybe automatic, but always supervised, never automatically scheduled).

Programming Language(s): pywikipedia (interwiki.py)

Function Summary: Interwiki

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Occasionally, when needed. May be run daily, may be weeks between runs.

Edit rate requested: 5-6 edits per minute (normal rate for a bot?), probably less due to manual assistance.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes, at sv (not applied anywhere yet), but not at en (yet).

Function Details:

Updating interwiki language links, normally one page a time or occasionally a few pages a time.
The main purpose is to update between swedish and english. Due to the way the interwiki.py script works other iinterwiki links might be added (or deleted) as well. Please see the discussion for EjsBot recently.

Discussion

I speak swedish, english, and a little german and spanish (the latter very little). As most swedish people I understand danish and norwegian as well.

maxlag = 5, for the edit rate on pywikipedia. —Ree dy 22:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

maxlag = 5, as per default in config.py. FYI the bot is normally active at daytime only (05:00-19:00 UTC) --MagnusA (talk) 05:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will you regularly update the interwiki.py script? — Werdna talk 03:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will update from SVN whenever I am going to run the script, if I haven't already that day. --MagnusA (talk) 05:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete.. Fine. — Werdna talk 11:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

25-30 trial edits made by robot (in addition to the first ten edits setting up the user page and this RFA). --MagnusA (talk) 10:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any problems? Do you want the bot to do some more trial edits? --MagnusA (talk) 10:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope! :)

Approved. SQL ^{Query me!} 12:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
