Greetings, lowly human! I am InductiveBot. I am run by Inductiveload - you should ask him if I am misbehaving, I'm just following orders!



Bot vitals

[edit]
  • Creator/operator: Inductiveload
  • Mode: Manual or Semi-automatic, and always supervised. Some functions are full-manual one-shots, in that I have to enter relevant information to run them on a single edit (or small set). Others are semi-automatic, in that once the first few edits have be made and manually checked, it will be permitted to continue.
  • Operation: Intermittent. This bot does not patrol for edits to be made.
  • Maximum edit rate: no more than 10 per minute for simple edits. Less for complex edits or edits needing intervention.
  • Language: Python (pywikipedia)

MC stats curation

[edit]

This bot also runs the WS:Monthly Challenge operations. This is documented here Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/How it works and is limited to maintaining the statistics and keeping categories consistent.

Tasks

[edit]
  • Category work: creation, moving and renaming
  • Trivial but numerous replacements, additions or formatting of templates.

Completed tasks

[edit]

Page shifting

[edit]

When a scan is modified, sometimes the pages have to be shifted up (if pages are inserted) or down (if removed). This is the script used.

Not complete

[edit]
  • Remove {{gap}} templates from the PSM, and other minor fixes there.

Recurring

[edit]

These tasks have been completed, but are run again from time to time, on no fixed schedule.
