User:Excirial/CanIT
CanIT is a manually assisted windows application intended to assist in cleaning the external link sections on Wikipedia. The tool is closed source and not publicly available due to not being designed with other users / systems in mind besides my own (Meaning that there are some rather amusing system requirements and quirks for the application). This page mostly serves as a reference in case anyone notices the edit summaries it generates, and wonders what creates them. Technical[edit]CanIT scans pages for external link sections and loads the links in a grid to allow for easy checking and classification of these links, also including a check to see if (spam) links are present on other Wikipedia pages. Once a page is entirely checked CanIT can clean up the links by removing them, marking them as dead or ignoring them. Afterwards it can save the page with an edit summary that summarizes the changes made to the external link section. CanIT is entirely manually assisted - it won't write or change any content on Wikipedia without a manual check and approval. CanIT itself integrates the IE browser to make sure that there are no odd quirks when using the tool (Or mostly because Excirial was to lazy to write anything else instead, and thus used a standard control for it). Technically taken CanIT should function pretty much alike to browser editing; but in case CanIT displays any odd behavior or results: drop me a note. |
