[edit] BetacommandBot Follower

tasks • contribs • count • sul • logs • page moves • block user • block log • flag log • flag bot

Operator: Carnildo (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary: Follow BetacommandBot around and fix its mistakes

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Whenever it notices that BetacommandBot is running

Edit rate requested: No faster than BetacommandBot is running

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details:

  • Wherever BetacommandBot has used the template {{di-disputed fair use rationale}} referring to WP:NFCC #10c, it will replace that template with one written in English.
  • Wherever BetacommandBot has left a "fair use disputed" message on a user's talk page where the image is tagged for violation of NFCC #10c, it will add a plain-English explanation of the policy.
  • If BetacommandBot has tagged an image for violating NFCC #10c, but it's possible to find an article using that image by following redirects and disambiguation pages, it will remove the template.
  • If BetacommandBot has tagged an image with {{di-disputed fair use rationale}}, but the image does not have a fair-use license tag, it will remove the dispute tag.
  • More details to come when I find more things that BetacommandBot is doing wrong.

[edit] Discussion

  • Seriously, we get it, that you have a problem with BCBot... SQLQuery me! 06:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Denied.. Speedily. Not the way to resolve issue you have with another operator at best, Pointy nomination at worst. WP:RFC is over that way if you want to get community consensus to shut down that bot. If it is clearly malfunctioning, WP:AN/I is around the other corner. — xaosflux Talk 06:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
