[edit] Bugs
Please report bugs in this section. I am interested in any possible mistake you see, e.g., the bot truncating a summary of WP:PRODSUM, reporting a wrong date, etc. Some may be unfixable, some may not be worth fixing, but I'd like to know they exist anyway.

Thanks for fixing my AfD! I had a good laugh when I saw it was fixed by DUMBbot, because that's what I am. Eclectek C T 16:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DumbBOT
Hey, i think DumbBOT is really cool! How did you make it??? Please answer! It will be great to have my own bot wandering around on Wikipedia creating and correcting and editing articles! ETC.

- Thanks! Some details are in WP:BOT. Essentially, your bot can either just load the various pages and parse them, or use a dedicated interface where data is returned as XML or another easy-to-parse form. Most people use the PyWikipedia framework (a link to it is in WP:BOT), but you need to know the python programming language to use it. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 12:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks DumbBOT
I messed up whilst nominating AfD but fortunately a friendly little bot was on hand to fix the problem before anybody shouted at me. Cheers!--Edchilvers 19:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance listing gone haywire
See User:DumbBOT/TimeSortedImportance. —Centrx→talk • 22:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's a time-sorted listing of Category:Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance; it only lists articles in that category, not in the sub-categories. An easy solution is to create Category:All Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance and add it to all relevant templates. I'll take a look at this. Tizio 22:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for reporting, btw. Do you think there is still use of this listing? Contrary to prod, the subcategory system might be sufficient for these kind of articles. Tizio 22:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
