Operator: Martinp23

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): C#

Function Summary: As requested at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Council#Hello_and_what_can_I_do (near he bottom of the topic), will put wikiproject peer reviews (originally localised) onto the centralised Wikipedia:PR.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Current working idea - twice daily (every 12 hours)

Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute

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

Function Details: WikiProjects reqiring the bot will put {{WikiProject peer review}} on thier localised peer review page. The bot then checks the template to find where it is transcluded, and gets the list of peer reviews transcluded on that page from the wikitext. Each of the pages listed is then parsed - if it contains {{WikiProject peer review a}}, the bot ignores it. If it doesn't, the template is added to to the page (and the page is saved) and the page is added to a list (in the program). The pages in this list are compiled with others from the other wikiproject peer review pages being checked and added to the main Wikipedia:PR page (by transclusion). To prevent requests being re-added after they are archived from Wikipedia:PR, the {{WikiProject peer review a}} template is added. This is empty, so has no effect on the page rendering, but its presence prevents the bot from adding it back to the PR page. The project is opt-in only, and I will act immeidately upon any comments I get from Wikipedia:PR about the bot. Thanks for considering this -- Martinp23 23:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

I also run User:MartinBot, User:AMABot, User:RefDeskBot and User:AMABot. Martinp23 23:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I generally test before I request here, so here are some diffs (I did one project, and error was identified and fixed): adding the tag to a peer review request and adding the requests to Wikipedia:PR. Thanks -- Martinp23 23:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Approved for trial. Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Initial edit looks promising, please trial this for a week or two, up to 150 edits, and report back. Thanks, — xaosflux ^Talk 01:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

What is the status of this bot? -- RM 13:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Currently in testing, thanks :D Martinp23 17:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I've complteted the trial - everything went as planned, bar a hiccup when someone removed the "do not edit this line" line from Wikipedia:PR! There have been no problems with acceptAance of the requests (at least, none have been brought to my attention, and I've seen none). Martinp23 16:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 Approved. —Mets501 (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
