This task was orginally requested by Ryan Vesey Bot at Commons:Bots/Requests/Ryan Vesey Bot but the user seems to have lost interest and the task needs to be done. Please see the comments left at Commons:Bots/Requests/Ryan Vesey Bot. Riley Huntley (talk) 06:48, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]- I have made 10 test edits on my account (since my bot doesn't have AWB access) and the results can be found here. Riley Huntley (talk) 06:58, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- See Commons:Bots/Requests/Ryan Vesey Bot, a bot request for the same task further down on this page. That one is waiting for community consensus. Please check up on the status of that discussion and give your opinion. --Dschwen (talk) 14:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Please re-read my request. The bottom part cleary states "This task was orginally requested by Ryan Vesey Bot at Commons:Bots/Requests/Ryan Vesey Bot but the user seems to have lost interest and the task needs to be done. Please see the comments left at Commons:Bots/Requests/Ryan Vesey Bot." - I also commented on that bot request before and after I filed this request. Riley Huntley (talk) 15:40, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, after looking at the test edits (looks fine) I am inclined to green light this. I'd suggest going ahead with all namespaces, since this is unconroversial enough and I haven't seen vehement opposition to performing the substitution in file namespace. --Dschwen (talk) 16:02, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Works for me. :) Riley Huntley (talk) 18:20, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Approved, this has been discussed on the Ryan Vesey Bot request quite a bit. So I'm closing this one quickly. --Dschwen (talk) 00:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- I have substituted all the signatures listed at Commons:Deletion requests/Transcluded user signatures except for User:Upior polnocy/signature as it was striked. Should this signature be substituted as well? Riley Huntley (talk) 06:29, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- Sigh, I see no reason not to substitute User:Upior polnocy's signature, and some people in the discussion agree. The verdict of the DR was keep but subst. And it seems to me that Upior polnocy was mostly opposed to the deletion of his sig template. I'm gonna say just go ahead. --Dschwen (talk) 17:14, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]I assume Sktooka is just a typo? And your bot code will be free of those ;-). And you will of course check if the word Shtooka is already linked? --Dschwen (talk) 18:46, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Are you seeking input from the community anywhere else? --Dschwen (talk) 18:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, saw it on Bot requests and commented there. I would approve the wikilinking to an on-wiki landing page about Shtooka (i.e. Shtooka). --Dschwen (talk) 18:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]- You know there's a bot that already does this automatically right? It's not immediate, but every file will get it eventually. --99of9 (talk) 11:07, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't think it would be a good idea to have a second bot on that task. Imagine if bot A compiles a list of images to process and goes down the list one by one. In the meantime bot B coincidentally processes images that are on bot A's list. Bot A is still fetching those pages (and checking if the change is necessary), thus it saves no time (or electrons). --Dschwen (talk) 19:30, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]- Looks OK for me. But I think will be good idea to combine such clean up with others, like section headers internationalization. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:57, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- I am currently writing a bot for another cleanup task like this but in regards to section headers internationalization, there are bots that currently do that task. (I found that out in RileyBot 3) Riley Huntley (talk) 20:16, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- Even if we have dedicated bot for this task, it's still good idea to make one clean up edit instead of two. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

- I'm sorry to say this but I created this task page for this task, nothing more. And as a volunteer, that is all I am comfortable with doing at the moment. Thus, I am asking that you take this task into consideration, and not other tasks that I have not coded or have figured out (Commons:Template i18n/bot replacements is a mess, almost impossible to see who is doing what and what is already done. It definitely needs to be updated.) :) Riley Huntley (talk) 14:57, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- How do you find pages with Permission = See below? --Dschwen (talk) 15:08, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- I search dumps, put all the files into one text file and then have the bot run off that. Riley Huntley (talk) 15:11, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, that sounds very reasonable. While I agree with Eugene that consolidation of bot tasks would be nice to keep the overall bot edit frequency down it is true that such a coordination seems very difficult at this time. I suggest we do a role call of bot operators in the near future and get an inventory of bot activities to see who is doing what and if they are still interested in doing their tasks. In the meantime I think we should not make you wait for that to happen. Why don't you go ahead and show us some test edits. --Dschwen (talk) 16:06, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Doing… Playing around with the regex to get the best result [and no errors!] :P Riley Huntley (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Trial done [4] Made the regex 10x harder aswell Riley Huntley (talk) 20:55, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yikes, now i don't understand the regexp anymore. Will have to look up the <start> syntax. Anyhow. Last thing I would suggest is making the edit summary a bit more specific, since your bot performs exactly one sub task of cleaning up the file description. Namely: "Removing see below from permission data in file Information template". Then I approve, but let's give Eugene some time to comment on this first..--Dschwen (talk) 21:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yea, the regexp is hard to understand now but basically the only difference is that when I had the old regex it would change lets say "| Permission = See below and blahblah" to "| Permission = and blahblah". So now, it will just skip a string like that and move on. In regards to the edit summary, thank you! I find the hardest thing about bots is finding the right edit summary. :P Riley Huntley (talk) 22:31, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- While I still think that multiple clean-ups is better (aren't set of regular expressions could be applied), I don't want to force bot operator to do so. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:49, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2015/06#Request shows consensus for removal of "uploaded by" in the file namespace, as it has caused confusion in the past. I am requesting openended removal of "Uploaded by" and similiar phrases that fall within the same scope. As shown here, McZusatz was doing this job with YaCBot. However, his bot is no longer running the task nor was it approved. I am looking to run it openendly for all uploaders, in order to ensure that external re-users of Commons content are able to attribute Commons materials inline with the stated licences. I have gone ahead and done a trial run of 20 edits.

- If there is consensus to do so the function schould be enabled again in YaCBot. YaCBot is also doing a lot of other stuff (cleanup tasks). Can your bot do the cleanup stuff as well? --Steinsplitter (talk) 20:46, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- So the bot that runs the task without seeking approval, would get to continue the task after I get it approved for them? Not sure what I think about that. In any case, yes, my bot can do cleanup stuff as well. Riley Huntley (talk) 20:55, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- YaCBot is approved for doing cleanup tasks (bot operators are not expected to re-apply every time they want to implement a small alteration). Commons sense schould be used. I see no problem if your bot does that task as well, there are ten thousands of affected pages. --Steinsplitter (talk) 21:11, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Simply removing the tags may raise the same controversy as in the first discussion. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

- I am ok if this task is done by a separate bot. You could even keep your current bot logic and do it without the opt-out (instead ask about opt-in to removal by the uploader on their talk page to avoid controversy). I know that russavia opted in to the removal, so you already got quite a batch of files. --McZusatz (talk) 21:51, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

- I am happy to see a more cautious opt-in approach, which was missed in the YaCBot run. It would probably worth getting a more public consensus so that any account has been inactive for a long period, such as no edits for more than 2 years, could be asked to opt-out if they care. Fiddling about with user categories by bot, will remain controversial. --Fæ (talk) 08:28, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

[edit]- Example contributions. Riley Huntley (talk) 03:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Before anyone asks why add Category:Male Dutch pronunciation instead of just replacing Category:Dutch pronunciation, the reason is because Category:Dutch pronunciation is in desperate need of diffuse by subject, so replacement makes no sense at this point. Riley Huntley (talk) 04:55, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Looks OK for if bot identify voice correctly. But please make edit summaries like MediaWiki:HotCat.js.
- Just another idea. Could you use Wiktionary (or other online dictionary) to identify grammar type of word (noun, verb, etc), its meaning (number, name of plant, etc) or it's phrase? This is based on file name.

- Edit summary will be as follows: "Bot: Added Category:Male Dutch pronunciation) (Task 10)
- As for identifying the grammar type of the word, I am still learning about pulling content from other websites/wikis. That would be better suited for another task/operator or myself, but later down the road. Riley Huntley (talk) 21:43, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Its more the language barrier for me than anything that'd make this difficult. Different language wiktionarys/dictionaries result in a different structure and I'd personally like to leave it to someone who speaks the native language or has the time/patience for it.

- Example contributions that I ran supervised on my main account reflect the above suggestion for a modified edit summaries. Riley Huntley (talk) 00:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
