Discussion[edit]

What namespaces will you edit? Will this use interwiki.py and if so, what parameters are you using? Which languages will you link to? Why is the bot not exclusion compliant? Make sure you read WP:INTERWIKIBOT. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 09:11, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Bot will edit on articles and/or categories. It use interwiki.py and also -autonomous -force -always. It links to all languages that are aviable to. I don´t know exactly if the bot exclusion compliant, I didn´t make changes in my pywikipedia carpet, so I will have all the default files. --Enzaiklopedia (talk) 15:07, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-auto and -force should not be used together, you can use -cleanup instead of -force. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:18, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I though they were the same. Now I will use -cleanup, thanks for the information ;) --Enzaiklopedia (talk) 15:22, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[1] This looks to have been a valid interwiki link? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 18:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don´t know, may be is an error, or may be the bot thought that that wasn´t the correct page. It was made by the bot, not by me, I have just seen that right now. What we should do? --Enzaiklopedia (talk) 19:00, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is your job to make sure the edits are correct. By the way, "supervised" means you check every edit. I recommend you review edits that remove links and not leave this to automatic (-cleanup) mode. I don't know the specifics of interwiki.py, so I don't really know why exactly that happened. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:11, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I normaly review the edits but I will be carefull whith the -cleanup mode in automatic. As you, I don't know why that happened, but as it seems that is the same article I am going to remove that edit and I'll be checking hardly the edits to be sure that won´t repeat. --Enzaiklopedia (talk) 19:16, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I clarified what was up with the edit. The interwiki link should have been to sr:Ћелије (Лајковац)[2](Cyrillic), not sr:Ćelije (Lajkovac)[3](transliterated). This is a human error basically. Anyway, typical interwiki bot, all details clarified. You can use "-cleanup".

Approved. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
