Invadibot

Invadibot (talk • contribs • count • logs • page moves • block log • CA • email)

My bot already has the flag in this wiki, where it is authorized to fix double redirects. However, I want to be sure that I have the support to carry out a new task suggested in Wikimedia Foundation wiki: fixing links to Wikimedia projects and applying protocol-relative URLs (see wmf:Special:Contributions/Invadinado for more details about these edits).

Regards, and thanks in advance. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 16:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Invadinado. Given that there have been no objections to this over the past few days, I'm happy to approve a trial for ~100 edits. Please report here once the 100 edits have been completed. Can you use [[wmf:]] for the links on this wiki to WMF wiki, and remember to adjust the script so that it doesn't create [[m: links but local [[ links instead?

A comment on this edit. Could the links to Outreach wiki be converted to use the [[outreach: interwiki link? Thehelpfulone 21:15, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

98 edits were made. And yes, I will add this improvement. Thank you for being attentive. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 21:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, thanks. I'm just reviewing the edits now. For this edit [http://mail.wikipedia.org/ was changed to [//mail.wikipedia.org/ but if you go to <https://mail.wikipedia.org> you get a SSL security error because mail.wikipedia.org redirects to lists.wikimedia.org. Therefore, would it be possible for your bot to replace [http://mail.wikipedia.org/ with [//lists.wikimedia.org/ instead? Thehelpfulone 21:42, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply] Added too. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 21:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply] Thanks, I've not noticed any more issues but could you do another 100 or so edits as an extra precaution before I approve the task? Thehelpfulone 15:32, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The w:ten: thing on this edit is wrong. Use tenwiki:. Test.wikipedia -> testwiki:, test2.wikipedia -> test2wiki too. πr² (t • c) 03:40, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@PiRSquared17: Right, corrected. Thank you for the notice.

@Thehelpfulone: Of course, I'm going to make another ~100 edits. Nice to see you back from your wikibreak. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 10:33, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

93 edits were made. Links to test.wikipedia, test2.wikipedia and ten.wikipedia were not converted, as a precaution. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 10:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, what's the progress with this one? Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 08:47, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think the bot is ready. In fact, I'm editing with this script in Spanish Wikipedia now (and, for that reason, I prefer waiting until the task has finished, to not overload the Toolserver). When that has happened, I will let you know. Regards, and thanks for your interest. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 16:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've finished in Spanish Wikipedia, and I'm ready to edit here.

Note: Links with external link format will be converted to the interwiki format with a colon after the opening square brackets —for example, [[:Wikimedia Forum|forum]]—. This makes sure that they continue linking to the right page and do not activate MediaWiki contents like:

categories —[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:About_Wikimedia Text] ≠ [[Category:About_Wikimedia|Text]]—,
files —[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg Text] ≠ [[File:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg|Text]]—,
etcetera.

Can I go for it? --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 15:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There were a couple more minor things that I noticed when I reviewed the links, but I've discussed this with Invadinado on IRC and the issues were fixed so I'm happy to approve this request, the bot is already flagged from a previous request. Thehelpfulone 11:29, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked the bot for a day while I investigate, as it has edited pages that are causing other bots to generate warnings from the edits, at this stage stuff of COIBot. I need to investigate whether it is just a warning problem. There are pages that are being editing that I am not sure that really should be edited, eg. archive pages. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:31, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply] To note that I have seen this bot edit incidences of [[m:some link]] which is not mentioned above. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:33, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
