Wikispecies:Bots/Requests for approval/RocketBot

RocketBot

1. Operator: Rocket000
2. Automatic or Manually Assisted: Mostly automatic.
3. Programming Language(s): Possibly some python, but right now just an AWB bot.
4. Function Summary: Miscellaneous formatting tasks
5. Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Whenever I get in the mood to run it.
6. Edit rate requested: As fast as AWB goes with auto-save.
7. Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No.
8. Function Details: I planning to use this bot account to do various different formatting tasks. For example, help update old pages still using the old format, correct typos (Speceis -> Species), add missing colons (Species -> Species:), and similar tasks. I run a flagged bot on Commons occasionaly so I have some experience and always run new tasks manually for a bit to test them out.

Approved for trial (50 edits). Ah, I tried to use AWB to do those fixing too, but I guess my skills just aren't that good yet. Let's see 50 edits and determine from there. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try to spend those 50 edits doing conversions from the old format since that's probably going to be the most complicated task (biggest room for error). I had some regexes already written but it looks like they need some tweaking first. Rocket000 05:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, done. Rocket000 05:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

On Diatrypini, it failed to catch a criteria.[1] Notice that genera didn't get removed of colons. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, ignore those first three edits. :) My regexes improved since then. Rocket000 01:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Wish it could create taxon templates and transclude them to the levels below, but I guess that's beyond the capabilities of AWB. Anyways, it looks good so Approved. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 19:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
