Wikivoyage:Script nominations
 |
Requests for the bot flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the standard bot policy, and allows global bots and automatic approval of certain types of bots. Other bots should apply below. |
According to the Wikivoyage script policy, scripts have to be approved by Wikivoyage bureaucrats. To create a script that runs against Wikivoyage, post the name and reason for the script beneath the line below.
Explain why we need the script, why it can't be done by hand, and what the script will do. If 2 administrators voice their support for the script and there are no unresolved objections, the script can be run with a bot flag. If objections arise later, the bot flag can be undone.
Scripts that have passed through this process can be found in Project:script nominations/Archive. The user page for any approved bot should include {{bot}} to indicate the wiki user responsible for operating the bot; a list of all active bots will then appear in Category:Wikivoyage bots.
NOTE: you must apply for approval on each language version of Wikivoyage. Approval on this page only allows you to run a bot on Wikivoyage in English.
I am requesting the bot flag be added to TNTBot so that it may complete the below periodic task.
- Operator: TheresNoTime (talk)
- Purpose: This task marks former WMF staff accounts as such (i.e. removing from category/setting
formerin a user info template) on locked WMF staff account user pages iff the lock reason makes it clear that the account was locked due to the member of staff no longer working for the Foundation. More info is available on meta. - Script used: source
- Already has the bot flag on: enwiki, enwikiquote (and runs on metawiki unflagged)
- Note: There are 4 pages in that category on this project, 3 of which are of locked staff users. Once the bot has processed those 3 pages, it will periodically (~weekly) check for newly locked/added accounts.
Thank you. TheresNoTime (talk) 13:18, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support Very useful bot for a task that should be done but practically no one on this wiki does. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 13:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support sounds reasonable to me. Ground Zero (talk) 03:19, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Done – @TheresNoTime: apologies for the delay (requires endorsements from at least 2 admins), but your bot has now been approved. :) --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 04:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Whoops, I accidentally gave you the bot flag instead of your bot account. Sorry :(. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 04:10, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
