YurikBot and {{copyvio}}[edit]

YurikBot recently added cy:Ynys Seiriol (correctly) to Puffin Island. The only problem is that Puffin Island was marked (by me) as a {{copyvio}}, which includes the statement "Please do not edit this page for the moment". Shouldn't YurikBot take account of that? --Stemonitis 07:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are two problems: 1) A list of every language's copy vio template needs to be created. 2) Lets say there is a conflict (see FAQ) - A links to site B, that links to site A but to a different page. This causes the bot to ask the user which page corresponds to which, and later it needs to correct them all to fix the conflict - otherwise another bot would have to bug the user. With the template, bot can either a) ignore the page all together or b) force the change. I need to think about it a bit more. --Yurik 14:59, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Afrikaans[edit]

Hi Yurik,

Apparently the remark about bots on af. came from you. Your name got lost in the shuffle and I was a little worried about yet another outsider making a mess of the year pages there (That is what happened to us a couple of times and that's why it is the mess it is..) Alias added your name back on and please allow me to respond and apologize if my reaction sounded a little frustrated.

YES! It would be wonderful if someone could help us clean up the mess by bot. If you like I can give you a few things that need to change:

  1. There are a whole bunch of pages with 8de eeu, this needs to be 8ste eeu.
  2. There may still be pages with 1e instead of 1ste for first (both AD and BC)
  3. The correct indication for BC is v.C. I tried to eradicate things like v. C. and v. Chr. but there may be a few left.
  4. To my knowledge there is no agreement over the 0 or 1 as initial for decades and centuries. I'd say; Take a pick and make them all the same.

The suffix is usually ..de 6de, 10de etc. Exceptions:

  1. 1ste
  2. 8ste
  3. 20ste
  4. 21ste etc all with twenty
  5. 30ste same

Latin Name of Cologne[edit]

Yurik, noticed that your bot changes the Latin name of Cologne... good thing... but the name you specify is wrong! The original Latin name of Cologne is: Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis. Thanks for considering and changing this. --User:Teutsch

Bot did everything correctly - article la:Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis does not exist, and someone made a different link, which bot picked up and used everywhere else. --Yurik 04:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Joinery[edit]

I note that you have put a number of foreign language equivalents of this page name on the Joinery page. I don't know how much it matters but the French one for example is Ébéniste. I would have used this word to mean cabinetmaker. In England at least, joinery is things like stairs, window frames and so on. A joiner might make a simple piece of furniture as a panel beater might raise a bowl but it is not really his trade. The French for joinery is (la) menuiserie.

Greek formats[edit]

Hi, I've checked the formats, made some additions, everything seems to be OK. --geraki 23:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sicilian formats[edit]

Hi Yurik. The sicilian formats you have look fine, but I changed the BC years to, for example, seculu II a.C. and 50 a.C.. There was originally a space between the a. and C. but we have since fixed that in scn.wiki. The other thing is that we generally use the small letter for the months, e.g. 3 di marzu, etc. the other change I made to reflect where we are heading in scn.wiki is to use the accent on the last four months of the year: sittèmmiru, uttùviru, nuvèmmiru, dicèmmiru. Thanks. --pippudoz - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 00:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for the bot[edit]

Thank for this bot. I also changed the number format for Thai wiki. But so far there are only from 0 to 9 so far.--manop 00:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Link removal[edit]

Why is it a good idea to remove interwiki links to articles that have not yet been writtten? It seems bad to lose information. Is it policy? — Pekinensis 00:14, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Its simply a matter of value - interwikies that do not point to an article are not very helpful, mostly because they are not shown as red links. They would create a large iw list, but if half of them are not there - the user wouldn't know which one to click to see an article in another language s/he knows. --Yurik 00:25, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I checked de: and did not found any problems. However, I think we don'thave music albums categorized per year. --Schwalbe 05:20, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Its ok that some langs don't have certain categories. Please suggest any other pages/categories that might benefit from auto-matching. --Yurik 07:19, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

International templates[edit]

Dear Yurik, it seems, adding and managing of interwiki's can be considerably simplified by using international templates. Could you please look at my proposal at Wikipedia:Feature request? What do you think about it? Regards. --AndriyK 08:22, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Formats[edit]

I´m FAR from es:wikipedia. I have a problem with numbers: we use don´t use de numbre. The list it is:

  • Uno

  • Tres
  • Cuatro

In English you must say One, two, three, into the title

year format in ko:[edit]

Your table is correct. But it should be noted that years page in BC could be redirected to century pages in ko:. And in many wikipedias years pages are redirected to decade/century/millenium pages. If you are plan to upgrade year/date bots, please consider it. ChongDae 10:29, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Asexualität / Asexuality[edit]

Hi, your bot removed the interwiki link from [[Asexuality] to de:Asexualität -- even if the German article exists and is about the same topic. Maybe some bug? Anyways, I reverted the bot. -- till we | Talk 11:43, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise on Esperanto; la and lt were checked, and existed in the same case as used in the link.--Prosfilaes 12:00, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Your bot seems to be removing a lot of valid interwiki links. It just removed the link to simple from Board game without good reason. - SimonP 13:16, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pressure[edit]

I hate bots run amok. Why in the world did you delete it and tr from pressure interwiki? Gene Nygaard 14:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your robot is doing a bad job[edit]

Hi, I'm sorry to tell you that you robot is doing rather strange things. It removed the lt: and pl: interwikis from Czech language ([1]), although both versions exist, and removed the it: interwiki from Slavic languages ([2]), although the Italian version exists, too. It has most probably done other wrong things as well which didn't appear on my watchlist. – Please stop your robot's destructive work and revert its erroneous changes.

Adam78 14:13, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bot run amok[edit]

There appear to be an inordinate amount of deletions to fr: (e.g. Falklands War is a good link). Same may be true in other languages. It appears that serious problems are developing. Shut the damn thing down until (if) it is fixed. Gene Nygaard 14:31, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Add phosphorus to the list. Gene Nygaard 14:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Removing featured article tags in interwiki[edit]

Why are you removing the featured article icons from the iterwiki lists (Template:Link FA), with no discussion whatsoever of this being done at Template talk:Link FA? Gene Nygaard 14:57, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This template was activitated at other Wikipedias, but other users are complaining to me about this being removed from interwiki links. I also had some strange edit with your bot at Belarus. Not only it removed a interwiki link to fa, but it added a link to tr, which the article did not exist. I highly suggest that you should hold up on the bot and find out what is going on with it.

STATUS: BOT IS ACTIVE AGAIN WITH NEW SETTINGS[edit]

Please let me know of any problems you found. I am running a stock bot (latest version from pywikipediabot). At the moment it appears that a large number of page requests gave "there is no such page" answers, so the problem might be related to the wiki outage last night, or the bot incorrectly interpreting some new and unusual responses. Please be patient, and very sorry for the trouble. Thanks! --Yurik 20:14, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that for pages with more than 1 link, this won't cause a long-term problem - the next time any bot runs, it will restore the deleted links. --Yurik 21:28, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
What the hell does that mean? Are there whole herds of these out-of-control bots attacking us from all directions? I've gotten into agruments with another of them, but I didn't know that if we fix or shut down one, another will step into its place to keep screwing things up. Gene Nygaard 01:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The bot has been paused for investigation. Bots provide a useful service (otherwise i wouldn't deal with them) to let humans concentrate on more creative work (page content). My bot is the official (most commonly used) pywikipediabot specially designed for interwikies. Overall the bot has contributed close to 50K fixes to the wiki, improving inter language links. Yes, it had its problems, but the rate of success has been enormous. For example, compare it to the number of vandal changes to each page. --Yurik 04:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Bot has been restarted on all sites it was working on recently, this time without the ability to delete existing links (it will only add new links). This will automatically fix most of the mistakes it made. Apparently the problem lies in the fact that there is no explicit "no such page" answer given by the server to the bot, thus bot assumed pages were missing and deleted links to them. --Yurik 04:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It removed the fr: link. I have restored it. --Chris S. 21:24, 25 September 2005 (UTC) Thanks[reply]

Bot issue[edit]

Just on a whim I checked a bot interwiki removal. This link shows what I think is a bad removal of an Indonesian interwiki link... because, the Indonesian page seemed fine to me. I just read the FAQ and it didn't seem to mention this problem (maybe the case sensitive thing?) Hope this isn't redundant. gren グレン 21:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!!! The bot did have a problem last night (see #STATUS: THE BOT HAS BEEN STOPPED AND IS BEING INVESTIGATED) --Yurik 21:59, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

bot status on zh-min-nan[edit]

Hello, Yurik,

My apology for the late reply and thanks for the interwiki work. Re "bot status on zh-min-nan": I'd gladly apply for bot status for Yurikbot, unless there's a rule somewhere that says bot operator should apply directly.

I've also put in some date formatting rules but there's some uncertainty with certain categories that do not yet exist. Would you prefer "guesstimate" or simply blank?

A-giau 04:08, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

simply blank would be much better - my goal is to auto-detect existing pages, not generate new ones (yet :)). Please mark my bot as such on zh-min-nan, and let me know when i can run it there. Thanks! --Yurik 06:11, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yurik Bot erraneously created new article[edit]

On the Esperanto wikipedia, Yuri Bot erraneously creted the new article Aldous HUXxley. This is due to an automatic substitution used in the Esperanto Wikipedia: ux becomes ŭ. In order to view ux, one needs to type in uxx. It would be good if you could change YuriBot in such a way that in future it doesn't erraneously create articles like this.

Buck[edit]

The bot regularly recreates an interwiki link from the German article de:Buck, which is a disambiguation page for a family name to fr:Harry Potter : personnages secondaires, to where the character name fr:Buck redirects. Please let the bot know that this is incorrect ;-) --141.35.17.32 17:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

YurikBot on zh country pages[edit]

Hi, Yurik, I think your YurikBot may have removed some links to some country pages in zh this afternoon. Each link was to the respective country's www.xzqh.org page. XZQH has excellent lists of political divisions and subdivisions with statistics. I also added three links to the University of Indonesia, on 印尼,爪哇 and 达卡塔;that is, Indonesia, Java and Djakarta. I left a message on zh: User:Shizao's page, too; I couldn't read his Chinese exactly; his edit comments mentioned the YurikBot. Some of the links are still there; some are not. zh User 中欧/ --McDogm 20:45, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Query by Example[edit]

Hi there, in the English Wikipedia, someone made QBE a redirect to Microsoft Query by Example, which is wrong, since QBE is an historical database query language in its own right. Anyway, this redirecting lead to the changing of the en:QBE link in the German Wikipedia for Query by Example to the microsoftish article, which may lead to the wrong impression that MS invented QBE.

I repaired en:-link in the german article, deleted the redirect from the english wikipedia and started a new QBE article.

You might want to check other languages the bot changed.

Regards, Fragment

update the bot[edit]

Please update interwiki.py to the newest CVS version; right now your bot keeps adding wrong interwiki links to disambiguation pages - this has been fixed in the newest version. This is quite important. Thanks, tsca 23:11, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks for the note. --Yurik 23:50, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Needle != Knitting needle[edit]

I just rved a bunch of links added by your bot to Knitting needle---it was linking to all the "Needle" pages in other languages, most of which had just a bullet point mention of a knitting needle, if indeed they mention it at all. If your bot is running according to the specs you claim above, it seems like it shouldn't be doing that---you should probably investigate. /blahedo (t) 05:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The bot worked as expected - Knitting needle has a link to de:Stricknadel, which in turn has links to many other sites. The only exception to what i have above is the link from de: back to en:Needle. Usually this entry would be skiped (en->de->another en), but in this case Needle gets ignored because its a disambiguation page, whereas Knitting needle is not. Thus all the links from de: are taken and added to en:. To clean it up, make sure you remove erroneous entries in both de:Stricknadel and nn:Strikkepinne (i will do it myself this time). --Yurik 21:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If that's "expected", then your expected behaviour is broken. Knitting needle should link to de:Stricknadel, because that's what it is. de:Stricknadel should redirect to de:Nadel, because that's where the paragraph about knitting needles is. And de:Nadel should link to Needle, because the one is a multi-stub page with lots of types of needles and the other is a disambiguation page with links to lots of types of needles. Why should the fact Needle is a dab make your bot disregard it? Why should wikipedia lose information (in this case, the link from Knitting needle to de:Stricknadel), just because it triggers your bot? /blahedo (t) 22:28, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you that we need to rethink the way such cases are handled (one site has individual pages per sub-topic plus the main dab (or non-dab) page, while another, smaller site has an article describing all the subtypes on one page. Currently, bots always resolve redirects, as otherwise when the page is moved, the interwiki to it won't get updated. In the mean time, we must keep Knitting needle and de: separatelly, otherwise every standard pywikipedia interwiki bot will re-add all various links back. --Yurik 05:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot[edit]

Dear Yurik, the interwiking efforts of your is much appreciated at wiki.pt, but there are some irregularities which you have to correct, namely the interwiking of articles marked with templates {lixo}, {impróprio} and {vda} (garbages and copyvios). By placing interwikis in these articles (example), you are allowing them to count for the bulk article number of wiki.pt and we dont wnat that. Please take the necessary arrangements so your bot bypasses these articles. Cheers, muriel@pt 09:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your Bot changed de interwiki from Luftwaffe to Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) but that's wrong. Luffwaffe here in en wiki covers WW1 to current Luftwaffe but german articles were splitted by timeline. Luftwaffe in de wiki works as disambiguation page, please keep linking to this page. --Denniss 01:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

YurikBot on lb-wiki[edit]

Our sysop blocked your bot on the lb-wiki for having infringed rule 1.1.1.5 of our bot policy. If it possible for you to fix this problem, we might unblock your bot immediately. --Otets 11:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Very sorry, accidently uncommented lb in my user file. Please post a link to the rule. Also, please mark my bot as such so it may continue. At present, the bot is active in almost 40 wikies, with very few issues. Having some wikies without the bot causes significant problems for the rest of the community, as they frequently point to the outdated pages or cause conflicts. Also, if LB: requires special interwiki handling, please let me know, and i will update the bot. Thanks! --Yurik 17:09, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please find here lb-wiki's bot policy. Your bot may be marked as such only after having gone through some tests, in order to make sure that it works properly. Lb-wiki indeed requires special interwiki handling, but I still need to codify the present usage (hope to get this done by this evening or tomorrow - please revisit the bot policy page once it's done). We certainly acknowledge the need for an interwiki bot updating the links from time to time - we only feel concerned about server speed and the respect of what is the current usage at lb-wiki in handling interwiki matters. But I am sure that a proper update of your bot will make it comply with all requirements. --Otets 20:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. My bot is the latest version of "de-facto" interwiki bot from pywikipediabot. Please let me know of any special link handling requirements. --Yurik 20:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The special link handling requirements at the lb-wiki have finally been codified (cf. our bot policy). --Otets 01:14, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nynorsk Wikipedia[edit]

Hello Yurik,

Just checking in to tell you that the interwiki procedure has gotten easier (and hence more bottable) on Nynorsk Wikipedia. Now, there is only one comment tag before the interwiki section:

<!-- interwiki (no,sv,da first; then other languages alphabetically by name) -->

There is no separate skanwiki comment tag, and the languages no(nb), sv and da are not required to be doubled anymore. So if you want to start letting your bot run on NNWP again, it will be much easier than it was before. :-) All the best, Olve 18:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bot help[edit]

Hi! I'm admin on hungarian wikiquote and I'd like to run a bot there for interwiki links. But I'm not a programming expert. Could u help me? I've read pages on meta about it, but maybe I could work more properly with a given bot description from you. On english wikiquote there aren't any bots. Thank you NCurse 21:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing to do is to follow instructions at meta:Using the python wikipediabot. You can also improve those instructions to help out others. You will need to:
  1. Get the latest code from CVS
  2. Edit your user-config.py file
  3. Run bot
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have specific questions. --Yurik 05:22, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Small problem with Yurikbot[edit]

Hello, just a small problem with Yurikbot: in the french wikipedia, there was already a manually placed interwiki to :en on the article fr:Aéroport international Jean-Lesage de Québec. Yurikbot added the same link a second time on the page. The problem, I think, was that the manually added interwiki was En:... (with a capital E) and that the one added by Yurikbot was en:... (with a small case e). The first link was already working. Maybe Yurikbot should check for links with capital letters and just change them to links with lower case letters, instead of adding a link. Cordially, fr:Utilisateur:Boréal - 2005-12-05 - 10:30.

Thanks! I will look into it. --Yurik 16:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with yurikbot[edit]

Hi. The article Anatomical terms of location incorrectly links to a spanish article that talks about one specific bone (es:Occipital).
