[edit] JoshurBot

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

Operator: josh (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Java

Function Summary: Creates project wide watchlists

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Weekly

Edit rate requested: Upto 30 edits per minute

Function Details: The bot creates a page containing links to all the pages related to a project. The list of articles can be based either on a category related to the project or pages that have the project's template in their talk page. It's grown out of User:joshurtree/createwatchlist.js that I originally created to do the job.

[edit] Discussion

User:SQLBot does pretty much the same task... It's pretty uncontroversial, I don't see a problem with this task... SQLQuery me! 18:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

30 epm?? Sorry, but can you use a lower rate? Thanks, CWii(Talk|Contribs) 18:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Heh, I missed that. Really, so long as it respects maxlag (say, 5 or 6) and, it's flagged, the epm doesen't matter so much. Does the bot respect maxlag? If so, what's the maxlag setting going to be? SQLQuery me! 18:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I've lobbed some maxlag code in for 5 seconds. The 30 edits a minute is only a theoretical upper limit. It currently only has 3 projects using it and one of them takes about 5 seconds to deal with due to the number of items in it. As its run so irregually it could be as slow or fast as you like. josh (talk) 15:22, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Let's see what she's capable of. Approved for trial (250 edits). Thanks, SQLQuery me! 04:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
How's this task coming along? SQLQuery me! 09:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
