Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New to bots on Wikipedia? Read these primers!

To run a bot on the English Wikipedia, you must first get it approved. Follow the instructions below to add a request. If you are not familiar with programming, consider asking someone else to run a bot for you.

 Instructions for bot operators
I Before applying for approval
  • Read the bot policy, and check the list of frequently denied bot requests.
  • If your task could be controversial (e.g. most bots making non-maintenance edits to articles and most bots posting messages on user talk pages), seek consensus for the task. Common places to start include WP:Village pump (proposals) and the talk pages of the relevant policies, guidelines, templates, and/or WikiProjects. Link to this discussion in your request for approval.
  • You will need to create an account for your bot if you haven't already done so. Click here when logged in to create the account, linking it to yours. (If you do not create the bot account while logged in, it is likely to be blocked as a possible sockpuppet or unauthorised bot until you verify ownership)
  • Create a userpage for your bot, linking to your userpage (this is commonly done using the {{bot}} template) and describing its functions. You may also include an 'emergency shutoff button'.
II Filing the application
  • Enter your bot's user name in the box below and click the button. If this is a request for an additional task, put a task number as well (e.g. BotName 2).
  • Complete the questions on the resulting page and save it.

  • Your request must now be added to the correct section of the main approvals page: Click here and add {{BRFA}} to the top of the list, directly below the comment line.
    • For a first request: use {{BRFA|bot name||Open}}
    • For an additional task request: use {{BRFA|bot name|task number|Open}}
III During the approvals process
  • During the process, an approvals group member may approve a trial for your bot (typically after allowing time for community input), and AnomieBOT will move the request to this section.
  • Run the bot for the specified number of edits/time period, then add {{Bot trial complete}} to the request page. It helps if you also link to the bot's contributions, and comment on any errors that may have occurred.
  • AnomieBOT will move the request to the 'trial complete' section by moving the {{BRFA}} template that applies to your bot
  • If you feel that your request is being overlooked (no BAG attention for ~1 week) you can add {{BAG assistance needed}} to the page. However, please do not use it after every comment!
  • At any time during the approvals process, you may withdraw your request by adding {{BotWithdrawn}} to your bot's approval page.
IV After the approvals process
  • After the trial edits have been reviewed and enough time has passed for any more discussion, a BAG member will approve or deny the request appropriately.
    • For approved requests: The request will be listed here. If necessary, a bureaucrat will flag the bot within a couple of days and you can then run the task fully (it's best to wait for the flag, to avoid cluttering recent changes). If the bot already has a flag, or is to run without one, you may start the task when ready.
    • For denied/expired/withdrawn requests: The request will be listed at the bottom of the main BRFA page in the relevant section.

Current requests for approval

Jlwoodbot

Operator: Jlwoodwa (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 02:59, Monday, January 13, 2025 (UTC)

Function overview: For species articles (under a binomial name title) in a genus category, adding the specific epithet as a sortkey.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Supervised

Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser

Source code available: Find & Replace in AWB.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): It's common practice to add these sortkeys, but I can't find it discussed anywhere. I've started Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life § Sortkeys for genus categories just in case, but I really don't expect any opposition. More generally, the WP:SORTKEY guideline says that sortkeys can be used to exclude prefixes that are common to all or many of the entries.

Edit period(s): Open-ended (as long as I keep finding genus categories without sortkeys)

Estimated number of pages affected: I expect to edit no more than about a thousand articles each day.

Namespace(s): Mainspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes (AWB is exclusion compliant by default)

Function details: In AWB, I generate the list of articles in a genus category and filter out all titles not of the form ^Genus .*. Then I use the Find & Replace option, from [[Category:Genus]] to [[Category:Genus|{{subst:remove first word|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}]]. I am willing to turn off genfixes if this is preferred.

Discussion

How many pages are expected to be edited with this run? – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:15, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

C1MM-bot 3

Operator: C1MM (talk · contribs · SUL · edit count · logs · page moves · block log · rights log · ANI search)

Time filed: 04:42, Thursday, December 12, 2024 (UTC)

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available:

Function overview: Adds or modifies election templates in 'Results' section of Indian Lok Sabha/Assembly constituencies

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): One time run on a category of pages.

Estimated number of pages affected: ~4000

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: This bot modifies the results sections of Indian Lok Sabha/assembly constituencies. It takes the 'Results' section and for the most recent two elections with published data it adds in all candidates with vote percentages above 0.9% and removing candidates with vote percentages under 0.9%. It does not edit candidate data (i.e. hyperlinks are preserved) except to correctly capitalise candidate names in all upper case. 'change' parameter is only filled if there is no elections which take place between the two data.

Candidates are sorted by vote totals and the subsections are sorted by election years in descending order (most recent election comes first). If a 'Results' section does not exist, it is placed in front of the 'References' section and the results from the two most recent elections are placed there.

Discussion

What is the source of the election data being used by the bot? – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:27, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The ECI website: eci.gov.in (it is geoblocked for users outside India). It has reports for every Parliamentary and Assembly election in India since Independence, and the ones after 2015 are in PDF form and those after 2019 have csv files. C1MM (talk) 01:19, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response. I have used data from eci.gov.in for my bot task, and it is a good source. I tried searching for results data for recent elections, but I only found PDFs and XLSX files; I did not find any CSV files containing the full candidate results data. Perhaps I missed some steps. I will try to provide some feedback after reviewing the edits if this goes for a trial. – DreamRimmer (talk) 09:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I convert XLSX to CSV (it is second-nature to do it now for me so I forget to tell sometimes). C1MM (talk) 17:07, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response. Is the source code for this publicly available somewhere if I want to take a look at it? – DreamRimmer (talk) 09:44, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There might be good reasons to keep a candidate's data even if they get less than 0.9% of the vote. I'd say that if the candidate's name is wikilinked (not a red link), then the bot should not remove that row.
Also, consider "None of the above" as a special case, and always add/keep that data when it is available. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:07, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I forgot to mention I did treat 'None of the above' as a special case, don't cut it and in fact add it in where it is not in the template. I also add 'majority' and 'turnout' and when there is no election in between the two most recent elections for which I have data I also add a 'gain' or 'hold' template.
How do you check if a page exists and is not a disambigution? I say this because a lot of politicians in India share names with other people (example Anirudh Singh) so I would rather only keep people below 0.9% of the vote if they are linked to an article which is actually about them. C1MM (talk) 13:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you are using Pywikibot, you can use the page.BasePage class methods, such as the exists() method, to check whether a wikilinked page exists on the wiki. It returns a boolean value True if the page exists on the wiki. To check whether this page is a disambiguation page, you can use the isDisambig() method, which returns True if the page is a disambiguation page, and False otherwise. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the suggested changes and the pages produced look good (I haven't saved obviously). I unfortunately don't know how to run Python pywikibot source code on Wikimedia in a way that accesses files on my local machine, is this possible? C1MM (talk) 05:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you saying that you have stored CSV files on your local machine and want to extract the result data from them? Let me know if you need any help with the source code. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I figured this problem out. I would now think a BAG member should probably come and give their opinion. C1MM (talk) 16:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Please do not mark these edits as minor. Primefac (talk) 13:34, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[1] Here are the contributions asked for. I think there are a couple of issues: I haven't actually added a source technically for these contributions and also for a certain party (Peace Party) I added the disambiguation links by mistake. I also accidentally made the replacement headings 3rd level instead of 2nd level, which I have now fixed. C1MM (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please also go back and manually fix these 50 edits for the problems that you've noticed. Additionally, if you could also use the {{formatnum}} template for all the votes figures it would be great. The other parts of the edits look good. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've done what was asked. C1MM (talk) 04:33, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you need to use the {{Bot trial complete}} template to bring this to the attention of somebody from the BAG. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trial complete. Noticed this went stale after completion. JarJarInks (talk) 19:21, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: Coming soon, will be based on EnterpriseyBot's source code

Function overview: Archive Wikipedia:Goings-on every week.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/APersonBot 6, Wikipedia talk:Goings-on#Archival bot

Edit period(s): Weekly

Estimated number of pages affected: 1

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No

Function details: Every Sunday, this bot will archive Wikipedia:Goings-on to a new week subpage, following the instructions at Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Goings-on. This task is a duplicate of EnterpriseyBot's task 6. EnterpriseyBot has not ran this task since February of last year. GO is frequently backlogged, so a new bot doing archivals would be welcomed.

Function overview: Remove instances of {{FFDC}} which reference files that are no longer being discussed at FfD, similar to FastilyBot 17, with new code.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): pywikibot

Source code available: will publish at github repo

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): special:permalink/1265443290#Replacing FastilyBot

Edit period(s): weekly

Estimated number of pages affected: around 2-3 per week

Namespace(s): needs to be discussed

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): currently yes, but that can be updated.

Function details: created new code for simplicity/posterity. When listing files at FfD, editors will sometimes add {{FFDC}} to the articles that link the listed files. When FfD discussions are closed, it's common for the closing editor to miss and/or forget to remove {{FFDC}}. This proposed bot task will simply find instances of {{FFDC}} that reference closed/non-existent FfD discussions and remove them. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Explicit: what namespace should I restrict the bot to? currently, the template has been transcluded on a few article talk pages, user talk, and drafts. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Approved for trial (25 edits or 30 days, whichever happens first). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. While waiting for an answer to the above, please limit the bot to the Article namespace. Primefac (talk) 13:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

{{BAG assistance needed}} This has been waiting for over 2 months since the end of the trial, and over 4 months since the creation of the request. Given the concerns expressed that the bot operator has since fixed, an extended trial may be a good idea here. EggRoll97 (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies. I have been very busy. Should I run the new Bot again with a few more edits? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for extended trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. – SD0001 (talk) 19:10, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{Operator assistance needed}} It has been more than a month since the last post, is this trial still ongoing? Primefac (talk) 13:26, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I wrote the bot using my C# API, and due to a necessary upgrade here, my dotnet environment got ahead of the one on the grid. I could neither build locally and run on the grid nor on build on the grid. (I could have run the trial locally but would not have been able to deploy to production.) There is currently a push to move bots onto Kubernetes containers, but there was no dotnet build pack available. The heroes on Toolforge have now provided one for dotnet, and I will be testing it when I return from vacation next week. If all goes well I will finally be able to deploy the bot and run the trial at last. See phab:T311466 for details. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:54, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bots that have completed the trial period

Approved requests

Bots that have been approved for operations after a successful BRFA will be listed here for informational purposes. No other approval action is required for these bots. Recently approved requests can be found here (edit), while old requests can be found in the archives.


Denied requests

Bots that have been denied for operations will be listed here for informational purposes for at least 7 days before being archived. No other action is required for these bots. Older requests can be found in the Archive.

Expired/withdrawn requests

These requests have either expired, as information required by the operator was not provided, or been withdrawn. These tasks are not authorized to run, but such lack of authorization does not necessarily follow from a finding as to merit. A bot that, having been approved for testing, was not tested by an editor, or one for which the results of testing were not posted, for example, would appear here. Bot requests should not be placed here if there is an active discussion ongoing above. Operators whose requests have expired may reactivate their requests at any time. The following list shows recent requests (if any) that have expired, listed here for informational purposes for at least 7 days before being archived. Older requests can be found in the respective archives: Expired, Withdrawn.
