User:SwiftBot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This user account is a bot operated by Swift (talk). It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

This bot uses the pywikipedia framework and is manually run to do multiple minor edits.

[edit] To do

1. Update links from Cone (solid) to Cone (geometry). See: Special:Whatlinkshere/Cone_(solid).

   python replace.py -ref:Cone_(solid) "cone (solid)" "cone (geometry)"
   

   • Done, except Ray casting has a blocked link on it. Have applied for a removal of the sytes.net on meta:Talk:spam_blacklist. Once that is through, the last cone link can be fixed. --Swift 9:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

     All done. URL was added to whitelist and link updated. --Swift 05:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

2. If/when the Wikibooks templates are merged (discuss), links to the older templates need to be updated.
   1. Template:Book (edit talk links history) already redirects to Template:Wikibooks (edit talk links history). Update transclusion links.
      • Done --Swift 23:43, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
   2. Template:Wikibook (edit talk links history) already redirects to Template:Wikibooks (edit talk links history). Update transclusion links.
      • Done --Swift 05:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
   3. Template:Wikibooks2 (edit talk links history) already redirects to Template:Wikibooks (edit talk links history). Update transclusion links.
      • Done --Swift 05:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
   4. Template:Wikibookspage (edit talk links history) is redundant with Template:Wikibooks (edit talk links history). Update transclusion links to the latter.
      • Done --Swift 09:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
   5. Template:Cookbookpar (edit talk links history) is redundant with Template:Cookbook (edit talk links history). Update transclusion links to the latter.
      • Done --Swift 09:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
3. Update links to Template:Merge-multiple (edit talk links history) and Template:Mergefrom-multiple (edit talk links history) to point to {{merge}} and {{mergefrom}}
