User:AnomieBOT/source/ChangeLog

2024-04-16 12:00 (UTC)

General:

• Update some checks for changing meaning of "anon".

2024-04-12 16:05 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• Seems someone created {{R from alternative hyphenation}} now.

2024-04-06 15:30 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• Clean up skip list. The two non-images have been deleted, and for the image there's little point in skipping just that one since seven other such images have had local pages created since.

2024-04-06 14:40 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• As an additional safety check on the previous change, only do that when both of the subject pages redirect to the same target.

2024-04-06 14:15 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• If there are multiple dashed talk page titles with conflicting targets, and one matches its subject page while the other doesn't, prefer the matching one. Probably the non-matching talk page is because someone thinks discusson of the subject-space redirect needs to be preserved on that specific talk page (rather than being archived to the target's talk page) so they refuse to redirect it.

2024-01-29 22:30 (UTC)

2024-01-28 23:45 (UTC)

• Fix some edit summaries and log messages.

2024-01-28 21:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Handle {{disambiguation|non-primary}}. Not specifically mentioned in Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AnomieBOT 57 since it was added 12 years later, but it's along the same lines.
• Handle {{disambiguation cleanup|cleanup}} and such too.

2024-01-28 21:10 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Fix regex.

2024-01-21 12:50 (UTC)

• Spaces in log message.

2024-01-11 14:20 (UTC)

2024-01-11 14:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Fix crash.

2023-12-25 18:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Add code to log when the bot detects a direct use of a maintenance category in a page, and whether there seems to be a corresponding template already. In the future I'll file a BRFA to have the bot actually fix these.

2023-12-16 15:15 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Use Special:Diff and Special:PermaLink instead of bare URLs.

2023-12-16 15:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't rescue generically-named refs that were removed over a year ago.

• If the bot is going to give the revert warning itself, stop and complain instead.

2023-11-02 01:30 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::TiedDBD:

• Add more retry error codes. ToolsDB has been being rebooted a lot lately, and every time it kills a bunch of tasks.

2023-10-24 17:55 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• Detect edit warring on the redirects. AnomieBOT and Bot1058 can easily get into conflict if the en-dashed subject page is a redirect and its talk page does not match.

2023-08-10 11:55 (UTC)

DeletionSortingCleaner:

• Better handle weird ways people list things: excess whitespace (note process_templates already converts underscores and such) and miscapitalization.

2023-07-21 02:45 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Disable searching for duplicate refs in linked/linking articles. It seems people too often use generic names like that of the newspaper or website, leading to false positives.

2023-07-20 23:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Don't try to date tags in transcluded pages that aren't wikitext.

2023-07-17 19:50 (UTC)

SpamBlacklistBlocker:

• Deactivate task, on-wiki lists haven't been updated since 2017.

2023-07-16 20:40 (UTC)

2023-04-01 15:05 (UTC)

• Someone added content parameter aliases to various efn-group templates.

2023-02-04 18:20 (UTC)

2023-02-01 13:40 (UTC)

2023-01-16 03:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Parse <ref> attributes using HTML5 semantics, which MediaWiki seems to have switched to at some point a while back.

2023-01-09 12:15 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

• Supplemental BRFA approved

2022-12-23 18:40 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

• Comment out new code for now, can't work at that title due to missing OAuth grants.

2022-12-20 13:45 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

• Start maintaining a JSON version of the data, currently in the bot's userspace.

2022-10-31 20:00 (UTC)

• Expose function to copy-and-truncate a file for use in log file rotating.

2022-10-28 16:10 (UTC)

show-task-status:

• Disable pod status check for now, Toolforge doesn't have permissions set up right to access it.

2022-10-26 01:30 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

• Strip comments from the title, apparently someone thought it was a good idea to put one in Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 31, 2022.

2022-10-23 22:55 (UTC)

• Fix handling of templatedata empty result.

2022-06-25 20:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Check templatedata for declared numeric params, and avoid moving dates from them into |date=. Intended for templates like {{citation needed span}} that might wrap a date.

2022-06-20 12:15 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Avoid edits like Special:Diff/1094004967.

2022-06-04 14:45 (UTC)

2022-06-04 13:13 (UTC)

2022-05-26 10:50 (UTC)

TalkTemplateMover:

• Adjust edit summary to make it clearer that the move is per the template's documentation. People seem to miss this.

2022-05-22 23:45 (UTC)

• Set some timeouts.

2022-05-22 22:22 (UTC)

2022-04-26 20:10 (UTC)

TFAProtector:

• RFC was not approved, archive task.

2022-04-21 00:30 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Include the title being processed in more log messages.

2022-04-17 12:55 (UTC)

2022-04-11 00:55 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Fix coloring of extended-confirmed on EPERTable. Somehow it didn't get set right back in 2016 and no one noticed until now.

2022-03-13 18:00 (UTC)

TFDClerk:

• Revert discussion header change. Sigh, wish people could make up their minds.

• Fix handling of {{efn}} with an incorrect |group=.

2022-02-13 14:55 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Add $HOME as a variable for dsn config options. Using ~/ seems to have stopped working for some reason.

2022-01-25 13:30 (UTC)

ArticleCreationGrapher:

• Discontinue task. Graph doesn't seem to really be used anymore, and mw:Extension:Graph exists which would be a better way to do it than a monthly file upload.

2021-12-31 13:30 (UTC)

BrokenRedirectDeleter:

• Exclude Wikipedia:Example of a broken redirect from the report, it's supposed to exist as an example.

2021-12-29 22:25 (UTC)

TemplateSubster::Base:

• Indicate to the callback whether each template found by process_templates is located after a newline or not.

2021-12-29 17:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Avoid renaming templates when adding parameters.

2021-12-28 21:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Handle references created by {{refn}}, {{efn}}, and similar templates that just wrap {{#tag:ref}}. Templates that do other stuff (like {{r}} and {{sfn}}) are not handled.

2021-12-21 23:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Use {{-r}} if the page or target of the request is a redirect.

2021-12-12 01:50 (UTC)

TFDClerk:

• Adjust discussion header per request.

2021-11-30 00:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Use classes rather than hard-coding colors, so the specific colors can be determined by community consensus and can be overridden by individual editors.

2021-10-24 00:15 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

• Update revision for {{CBSB link}}.

2021-10-24 00:10 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Adjust for new BAG table format.

2021-10-20 01:00 (UTC)

• Update revision for {{Csb link}}.

2021-09-21 22:30 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

• Re-start run for WP:WikiProject Film/Marvel Cinematic Universe task force for importance in a handful of categories.

2021-08-11 04:05 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Remove check for URI not handling Unicode characters correctly. I don't remember what the deal was there (that was added in 2008), but an encode() is needed or HTTP::Message will complain. And anyway, it doesn't look like we're even hitting URI inside HTTP::Request::Common anymore since we switched to using multipart/form-data in 2012.
• Also remove the similar check for Digest::MD5. That too seems to need an encode() and is unlikely to change.
• Instead of using Encode::encode() which mangles non-characters like U+FDD0, use utf8::encode() which passes them. GIGO makes more sense here.
• Fix the debug logging to log before doing the encode() rather than after.

2021-07-25 11:40 (UTC)

DeletionSortingCleaner:

• Look for xfd-closed class to recognize closed discussions, boilerplate metadata might be used by other things too.
• Update result regex too.

2021-06-27 14:00 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Process Category:Wikipedia categories sorted by month too.

DatedCategoryCreator:

• Use {{Monthly maintenance category}} instead of {{Monthly clean-up category}} where appropriate.

2021-06-16 12:15 (UTC)

• +3 cats.

2021-06-15 12:10 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

• Start run for WP:WikiProject Film/Marvel Cinematic Universe task force
• Some cleanup of the code.

d::WikiProjectTagging:

• {{WikiProjectBanners}} seems to have been merged with {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} at some point, remove the code that decided between them.

2021-06-09 12:45 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• Update old redirects when the existing templates are now invalid due to a move of the redirect.

• Don't skip "1" for {{ArticleHistory}}.

2020-12-01 13:10 (UTC)

2020-09-08 02:30 (UTC)

2020-05-07 12:05 (UTC)

EnDashRedirectCreator:

• Don't try to create TemplateStyles redirects, it won't work anyway.

2020-04-30 01:45 (UTC)

• Lower max transclusions limit, as a vandal is maliciously causing the bot to substitute certain templates.

2020-04-02 12:00 (UTC)

• Support MediaWiki:Titlewhitelist.

2013-11-21 12:55 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Fix logging, action entries were getting through without an identifying header entry or with a misplaced header entry.

2013-11-17 20:50 (UTC)

tools-updatebot.pl:

• New script to update the bot on a git post-receive hook, rather than having a job running to poll the repo.

tools-startbot.pl:

• Don't start bot-updater.pl anymore.

2013-11-17 20:00 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

• Ha! AnomieBOT II edited it, so now the version number needs bumping.

2013-11-17 19:50 (UTC)

• Add sanity check to prevent broken edits like this
• Another log message.

2013-11-17 18:10 (UTC)

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

• Approved!

2013-11-02 12:30 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

• Someone is apparently running an unauthorized bot to change the protection level of every template, which hit {{cfb link}}. Whee.

2013-10-26 22:34 (UTC)

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

• Data from the database comes in as a binary string, not UTF-8. So pass it through utf8::decode.

2013-10-26 21:55 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Since the point of the hidden 'nopause' flag is to be able to run a trial while the real bot is just paused, it shouldn't clear the pause flag.

2013-10-26 21:50 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Add "onpause" callback.

bot-instance.pl:

• Use "onpause" callback to mark tasks paused when paused.

bot-updater.pl:

• Mimic the above.

2013-10-25 15:20 (UTC)

show-task-status.pl:

• Pull CSS/JS from production rather than betalabs, due to potential privacy issues in betalabs.

2013-10-18 15:55 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Handle template-protection, currently lumped in with CAT:EP.

2013-10-17 13:55 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Replace underscores with spaces in page titles read from urns.

2013-10-17 12:45 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Can't use "return" inside a map block, that returns from the function. D'oh.
• Handle urns that have HTML entities in them (e.g. &#39;).

2013-10-14 03:55 (UTC)

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

• Use continuation in database query, so the bot doesn't wind up uselessly looping forever if more than 500 invalid pages pile up at the beginning of the list.

2013-10-11 13:55 (UTC)

show-task-status.pl:

• Renamed task-status.pl to show-task-status.pl, so it doesn't interfere with tab completion of the 'tasks' subdir.

2013-10-09 23:30 (UTC)

TFDClerk, IFDCloser, PUICloser:

• The "metadata" class was removed from the closing templates, so remove it from the is_closed regex
• Add a sanity check to make sure the bot doesn't screw up if this sort of thing happens again.

2013-10-09 01:05 (UTC)

conf.sample.ini:

• Add comments about how to access labsdb replicas.

TemplateTalkRedirectCreator:

2013-10-01 21:10 (UTC)

DRVClerk:

• Improve error message slightly.

2013-09-30 01:40 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Adjust coloring for cascading protection. Even though cascading semi-protection isn't possible, we'd want it red on CAT:ESP if it were.
• Consider the cascade-protected page itself as cascading too
• Indicate cascading in the "protection level" column

2013-09-30 01:20 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Add a comment to document the structure of the @data array.

2013-09-30 00:35 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Make use of the new hidden "urn:" links to detect edit requests for pages other than the subjectpage of the talk page containing the template.

2013-09-29 22:55 (UTC)

task-status.pl:

• Add script that outputs the status of all tasks, in either HTML or plain-text format.

2013-09-28 02:55 (UTC)

2013-09-26 10:10 (UTC)

MedComClerk:

• Adjust for subsection header change

2013-09-11 17:20 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Redis:

• Catch errors from Redis.

AnomieBOT/API/Cache/test.pl:

• Set $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys so comparisons are sane.

2013-09-11 16:55 (UTC)

General:

• Apparently Digest::SHA became intolerant of wide characters in Perl 5.18. Add explicit utf8::encode of inputs.

2013-09-07 02:20 (UTC)

General:

• One more command-handling utility

2013-09-07 02:00 (UTC)

General:

• Remove constructs that became "experimental" in Perl 5.18.
• Add the possibility for the command "file" to be in redis/memcache.
• Add utilities to send and list these commands.
• Put job status data in redis/memcache, too.

2013-08-30 22:25 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Since Module pages are so much like Templates, color them green too.

2013-08-30 10:50 (UTC)

DRVClerk, IFDCloser, PUICloser, TFDClerk:

• Adjust header fixer to work properly when the level-3 header has no preceeding text.

2013-08-29 11:30 (UTC)

bot-updater.pl:

• Use IPC::Run to set a timeout on the git calls.

2013-08-28 13:05 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl:

• Try using parens instead of brackets in $0, perhaps that's what's causing sge to be not reporting resource usage for AnomieBOT-999.

2013-08-04 00:15 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Redis:

• Fix noreply

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Memcached:

• Remove noreply

2013-08-03 23:50 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Cache:

• Add testing script.

• Create AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Redis

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Memcached:

• Fix error in cas handling.
• Fix double namespacing of keys in flush_prefix handling
• Remove unused variable.

2013-08-03 05:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't allow newlines in many of the error fixes, it's probably a sign of a bigger problem.

2013-07-18 10:45 (UTC)

TalkTagger:

• Completed.

2013-07-15 16:20 (UTC)

TalkTagger:

• Approved!

CHUUClerk:

• Supplemental task withdrawn, Chris G fixed his bot where it used to do the same thing (another victim of gerrit:5288).

2013-07-12 23:00 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Yet another random rename of BRFA templates...

2013-07-12 22:55 (UTC)

2013-07-12 17:05 (UTC)

ArticleCreationGrapher:

• Now that I found out about qacct, I can see that it used 318M when it died on July 1. So bump it to 350M.

2013-07-12 17:00 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl, bot-updater.pl:

• Log gridengine job id when starting

2013-07-08 02:10 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

• Update for log format changed in gerrit:5288.

2013-07-01 16:20 (UTC)

bot-updater.pl:

• Apparently NFS issues can cause the cwd to get lost, even though it still exists in the same place on disk. Work around that by explcitly chdiring back to it before shelling out to git.

2013-07-01 15:25 (UTC)

ArticleCreationGrapher:

• Bump memory limit to 300M, 256M is apparently too small.

2013-07-01 15:20 (UTC)

general:

• Update column names in create-store.pl
• Remove ancient update-db.pl

2013-07-01 00:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Don't count empty parameters when looking for "without" params.

2013-06-30 18:50 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API, bot-updater.pl:

• Add new "pause" signal, so a bot process may be paused without having to stop and then restart it.

2013-06-30 18:25 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl, bot-updater.pl:

• Log hostname along with pid when starting

tools-startbot.pl:

• Put system() call to qsub in a sub to make arg updating easier.

2013-06-28 00:35 (UTC)

TalkTagger:

• New task for WP:WPMED

2013-06-26 21:45 (UTC)

NewArticleAFDTagger:

• Also skip pages with {{Old AfD}}.

2013-06-20 03:25 (UTC)

AnomieBOT/API/TiedDBD.pm:

• Add a backoff on the MySQL retries. 60s is apparently not long enough.

2013-06-20 03:20 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Link to rights log rather than makebot log.

2013-06-12 22:00 (UTC)

• Add the ability to include other config files to the config file syntax.

2013-06-12 03:00 (UTC)

NobotsHallOfShame:

• Remove accidentally-included -1 and -2 namespaces.
• Also, set name for "Main" namespace.

2013-06-11 23:45 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl:

• We need to sort @tasknames to the same order as @tasks, otherwise output is wrong.

2013-06-11 12:05 (UTC)

bot-instance.pl, bot-updater.pl:

• Replace spaces with NBSP in $0, to avoid confusing gridengine.
• Indicate ended tasks in $0.

2013-06-11 12:05 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Cache::Memcached:

• Remove compat code, Digest::CRC is installed now.

2013-06-11 04:40 (UTC)

SourceUploader/WikiPod.pm:

• Use new cache support instead of caching things in memory.

FlagIconRemover, IFDCloser, NobotsHallOfShame, OnThisDayTagger, PUICloser, RandomPagePicker, TFDClerk, TagDater:

• Use new cache support instead of caching things in memory.

General:

AnomieBOT::API:

• Improve replica function.

2013-05-29 00:35 (UTC)

2013-05-24 23:25 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Fix bug in previous.

2013-05-24 23:10 (UTC)

bot-updater.pl:

• Reopen filehandles for logging.

2013-05-22 16:45 (UTC)

General:

• Replace bot.pl with a system more appropriate for tool labs: instead of forking, each bot gets its own job.

2013-05-19 16:05 (UTC)

AnomieBOT/API/TiedDBD.pm:

• Not entirely sure this will work, but let's give it a shot for catching those MySQL errors.
• Add a generous limit on retries.

2013-05-15 02:00 (UTC)

bot.pl:

• Try staggering task startup?

2013-05-15 01:40 (UTC)

bot.pl:

• Log process list when SIGUSR2 is received.

2013-05-14 01:30 (UTC)

AnomieBOT/API/TiedDBD.pm:

2013-05-09 21:20 (UTC)

tools-runbot.sh, bot.pl:

• Ignore SIGUSR1, could also be sent by gridengine.

2013-05-09 21:20 (UTC)

tools-runbot.sh:

• Don't restart after receiving SIGUSR2

2013-05-07 16:40 (UTC)

TFATitleSubpageCreator:

• Handle simple linktrail.

2013-04-29 19:35 (UTC)

PUICloser:

• Also, PUI has long since changed to 7 days. So adjust that too.

2013-04-26 15:10 (UTC)

tools-runbot.sh:

• Improve log output.
• Catch SIGUSR2. That's probably why the bot has been dying.

2013-04-26 14:45 (UTC)

bot.pl:

• Sort tasks numerically

tools-runbot.sh:

• Improve log output.

2013-04-25 00:40 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Handle revdeled user names when looking for last BAG editor.

TagDater:

• Wait longer when "untrusted" users made recent edits, like OrphanReferenceFixer does.

bot.pl:

• Add command to list running processes

2013-04-13 02:15 (UTC)

Changes for moving to tools-labs:

• Add command-file interface, since apparently signals can't be sent in tools.
• Add new script, tools-runbot.sh.
• Make SIGUSR2 script signal all children immediately (we only have 60 seconds)
• Use a unique data-dir test file per botnum.

2013-04-13 00:45 (UTC)

bot.pl:

• Recognize SIGUSR2 as a halt command.

2013-04-12 02:25 (UTC)

Changes for moving to tools-labs:

• Adjust configuration
• Remove IRC and RC Feed junk. Never really used it, and the IRC module isn't currently installed there.
• Rename database "key" and "value" columns, at least the former is a reserved word in MySQL. Sigh.

2013-04-10 12:25 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

• Update revision for Template:Citation needed by; someone felt the need to add a period to the tooltip. Yeah.

bot.pl:

• Log child process exit statuses.

2013-03-13 14:35 (UTC)

OnThisDayTagger:

• Properly handle errors in adding the tag.

General:

• Fix various use of undefined variable errors.

2013-03-03 17:50 (UTC)

d::Redirects:

• Make resolve_redirects not get confused by circular redirects.
• Fix a few modules that need the same thing.

2013-03-01 08:45 (UTC)

OnThisDayTagger:

• Converted the template to Scribunto, so no more need to count the available parameters. Yay!

2013-02-26 02:45 (UTC)

DatedCategoryCreator:

• Allow creating Category:Articles that include images for deletion subcats a week in advance.

2013-02-25 15:30 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Fix fatal error.

2013-02-23 13:05 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• To avoid people whining when they make these silly templates to avoid having to type "<ref>", detect and skip any that seem to be defined in that way.
• I'll have to remember to watch for the expandtemplates call timing out and handle that somehow.

2013-02-18 03:35 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't copy refs with names like "E16", too generic.

2013-02-07 02:35 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

• WP Brands run complete.

2013-02-05 13:05 (UTC)

IFDCloser:

• Make sure there's a linebreak before it when adding the move notice.

2013-02-04 01:45 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

• Start run for WP Brands.

2013-02-03 23:00 (UTC)

• Add a permissions check, so we don't wind up having all children croak due to bad permissions.

2013-02-03 22:50 (UTC)

bot.pl:

• Don't log warnings when the git subprocesses exit

2013-02-03 22:30 (UTC)

2013-01-03 18:05 (UTC)

MedComClerk:

• Fix incomplete update for rename of Category:Mediation Committee rejected cases to Category:Requests for mediation rejected requests.

2012-12-30 03:50 (UTC)

d::Redirects:

• Fix a long-standing bug in resolve_redirects. The function tried to be smart: each query can handle up to 500 titles, so when it was going to be making a query with fewer it would add old cached entries to the query so they wouldn't need to expire from the cache. But then it would go ahead and actually return these extra redirects, which could wind up confusing TagDater.

2012-12-29 13:45 (UTC)

EditorReviewArchiver:

• Correctly handle deleted review pages that are still transcluded on the main page.

2012-12-27 00:35 (UTC)

2012-11-29 01:45 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Return revision tags along with edit token.

TagDater:

• Don't date pages where the latest revision has a BLP tag.

2012-10-28 13:25 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Allow "rules" to specify a different named parameter to date.
• Allow multiple sets of "rules" per template. Note only one may be applied per instance per edit, so multiple edits might be made if more than one needs doing.
• Fix the dating by "rules" when the dated parameter exists but is in the wrong format.

2012-10-17 13:25 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Don't mess with whitespace after the template name when processing "rules" templates.
• Don't pretend to have dated a "rules" template when it didn't get dated.
• Add the ability for the unit-testing to recurse or not recurse.

2012-10-12 01:05 (UTC)

DRVClerk:

• Avoid backtracking in {{DRV top}} processing.

2012-09-30 15:30 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• If the subjectspace page does not exist, list all TitleBlacklist matches instead of just those with 'noedit'. Well, except 'moveonly' or 'newaccountonly' rules.

2012-09-28 14:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

• If {{multiple issues}} has an old-style parameter where the value resembles "Month YYYY{{template}}", assume it's a broken addition of new-style parameters and convert the whole template to new-style.

2012-09-19 02:40 (UTC)

ITNCArchiver:

• Adjust archive timing per discussion at WT:ITN/C.

2012-09-14 03:30 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Also escape tildes, and strip pipe trick and reverse pipe trick.

2012-09-10 12:50 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

2012-09-07 19:00 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

• Actually start run for WikiProject Geology.

2012-09-04 14:55 (UTC)

DRVClerk:

• If a section seems to contain a level-4 header, something is wrong and the parsing is not matching correctly. Don't edit, just complain about it.

2012-09-02 03:15 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

• Someone edited Template:Citation needed by.

2012-09-02 03:10 (UTC)

DatedCategoryCreator:

• Allow certain cats to have backdated dates (currently just Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating).

TagDater:

• Don't check years in missingcats logic, due to the above change.

2012-09-02 02:55 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Burn more API queries to make sure that a "moving refs out of templates" change is actually making a difference to the page.

2012-08-30 16:30 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Ok, that was dumb.

2012-08-30 16:20 (UTC)

PERTableUpdater:

• Better comment escaping.

2012-08-30 01:40 (UTC)

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

• Adjust timing code so it will actually run at as close to 23:00 as possible (and so will create the new pages at 23:00 instead of 00:00).

IFDCloser:

• Unnecessarily escape some braces in regexes to avoid vim brace matching issues.

2012-08-29 20:20 (UTC)

2012-08-28 21:45 (UTC)

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

• Trial complete!
• Fix how summary could have been missed if the page header needs fixing at the same time as many discussions are closed.

PUICloser:

• Fix non-free commenting (until now, it would only do it while making another edit to the page and wouldn't mention it in the edit summary).

2012-08-28 15:00 (UTC)

ShowByDateSubster:

• Someone edited Template:Citation needed by.

2012-06-07 15:50 (UTC)

RedirectBypasser:

• Start run for User:N and subpages.

2012-06-06 17:05 (UTC)

2012-05-21 19:55 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• BREAKING CHANGE: The "continues" parameter for $api->query should take module names, not continuation parameter names.

BAGBot:

• "continues" was wrong all this time, and would suddenly have become right. Just remove it.

WatchlistUpdater:

• Change "continues" parameters to be module names instead of parameter names.

2012-05-17 19:10 (UTC)

DatedCategoryCreater:

• In trial.

2012-05-17 17:00 (UTC)

d::Templates:

• For some reason I thought wikitext like [[bar|{{bar|]]}} ]] would ignore the template in favor of the link. No idea whether that used to be the case or if I was just confused when I wrote this code, but either way it's not the case now.

2012-05-15 20:00 (UTC)

• Approved!

2012-04-15 01:50 (UTC)

2012-04-14 16:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Make part of a regex case-insensitive, it was matching a long s 'ſ' in the regex against a regular 's' in the text.

2012-04-13 17:30 (UTC)

NewArticleAFDTagger:

• New trial. Hopefully it gets approved before the 7 days are up, as I'm too busy at the moment to add the boilerplate to automatically detect it.

2012-04-13 13:35 (UTC)

• Fix screw-up.

TagDater:

• Don't date the empty form of {{update after}}.

2012-04-13 12:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't move refs out of templates if the page contains transclusion control tags, as that probably means someone is doing something stupid with transcluding one article into another.

NewArticleAFDTagger:

2012-04-05 02:00 (UTC)

2012-04-01 05:05 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Don't move |1= into |date= when it's over 30 characters.

2012-04-01 04:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Avoid "fixing" dates when the date field is much longer than any possible date, because it's probably more than just a simple mistake. The longest is "September YYYY" at 14 characters, so over 30 characters is something odd.

2012-03-24 14:20 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Better handle the relatively frequent situation where someone from another wiki who wants to run interwiki.py requests to run it on their main account.

2012-03-23 14:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Minor cleanups for efficiency.

2012-03-23 02:35 (UTC)

bot.pl:

• Stagger task termination to avoid the thundering herd problem. AnomieBOT's computer tends to run low on free memory, and bringing everything out of swap at once kills.

2012-03-21 23:00 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Handle undef.

BadImageTagger:

• New task, currently on hold.

ITNCArchiver:

• Insert a comment indicating where to add new nominations.

ShowByDateSubster:

• Approved!
• Mention |demo= and |nosubst= in task summary.

2012-03-21 03:15 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• The decoded_content method on the HTTP::Response returns characters, not bytes (i.e. Perl's "UTF8" flag is on), at least when MediaWiki sets charset=utf-8 in the response (which it does). And the JSON module requires its utf8 flag to be set contrariwise, or it will get confused and throw errors. Which means we need to set the JSON object's utf8 flag off, not on.

2012-03-21 00:50 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

• Add {{cbsb link}}

ShowByDateSubster:

• Ignore templates with |demo= or |nosubst=.

• Remove code for trialling BRFA 55, it was approved a while ago.

2012-03-13 14:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Process Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template last, since it's as likely as not to contain a bunch of articles with dates that are "invalid" only because the monthly category just doesn't exist.

2012-03-13 00:30 (UTC)

ITNCArchiver:

• Use a better archive marker, and complain if it isn't found.

2012-03-07 23:00 (UTC)

• Rewrite strip_nowiki to use strip_tags internally.
• Clean up docs.

d::Templates:

• Have process_templates strip all extension tags, including <ref>. This fixes the bug where a bare "|" inside a <ref> inside {{reflist|refs=}} would screw up.

2011-10-18 18:05 (UTC)

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

• Updated {{cbb link}}.

2011-10-17 21:00 (UTC)

TemplateSubster:

• Fix namespace handling.

2011-10-17 14:00 (UTC)

TemplateSubster:

• All namespaces.

2011-10-15 01:00 (UTC)

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

• Also handle escapes for ", ', and =. These all could be generated by {{BASEPAGENAME:}}.

2011-10-15 00:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Add unit testing support.
• Detect if the template being checked appears to be a wrapper for a dated template: if the page would be empty after removing <noinclude>, comments, dated templates, and so on, assume it's a wrapper. Whine to the bot's talk page if it would otherwise be dating it.
• Update metadata description.

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

• Handle if someone uses &, &, or & in the filename.

AnomieBOT::API:

• Include servedby when reporting MediaWiki errors.

2011-10-13 14:00 (UTC)

2011-10-05 01:55 (UTC)

MedcabBot:

• New task.

WatchlistUpdater:

• Add subpages of User:MedcabBot to User:AnomieBOT/index.

AnomieBOT::API:

• Change AnomieBOT_SECURE mode base path to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/.
• Remove logging of failed queries. It's ok for normal queries, but for edits or uploads it makes no sense.

d::Sections:

• Don't break if there is an empty section at the end of the page.

2011-09-30 14:30 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Configure the entire base path to the api, rather than just the host and assuming it's "http://$host/w/". This way, we can specify "https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/".
• Add an environment variable that can be set to change the default to https. I trust the connection to AnomieBOT's server not to be sniffed, but when testing from my laptop at Starbucks with my VPN being broken...

2011-09-27 10:45 (UTC)

IFDCloser, PUICloser:

• Template renaming strikes again.

BAGBot:

• Supplemental BRFA 56 approved!

2011-09-24 13:55 (UTC)

FlagIconRemover:

• Consensus seems to exist for processing {{Infobox dam}} as well. The discussion showed two opposes, one of which seemed to miss the point that the discussion was for {{Infobox dam}} only and the other was from an editor well-known for opposing WP:MOSFLAG and opposing on that basis only.

SourceUploader:

• Bump up ChangeLog size limit to 200KB.
• Add __NOTOC__ to the published changelog.

General:

• Add a vim modeline to the changelog.

TagDater:

• Another dating bug fix.

2011-09-18 16:35 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Consider categories rather than templates when moving BRFAs to Approved/Denied/Withdrawn/Expired.
• Flag requests in WP:BAG/Status when Approved/Denied/Withdrawn/Expired templates are present without the corresponding category (except in Revoked requests, of course).

2011-09-18 13:40 (UTC)

NobotsHallOfShame:

• Sort ties by bot name, instead of randomly.

General:

• Remove dummy while(1) loops, they're not needed in Perl.

2011-09-09 10:30 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Supplemental BRFA 54 approved! Diff looks big because of reindenting, the only change is to remove the "is trial approved" checks?

2011-09-06 17:15 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

• Indicate when the target user has edited since the request was filed.

2011-09-05 20:25 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Different message for editing the BRFA itself.

2011-09-05 16:05 (UTC)

2011-02-20 01:00 (UTC)

2010-12-29 17:30 (UTC)

• Null edit for other cats if the page isn't in the cat anymore.

diff.pl:

2010-12-27 17:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Try to detect when an article is in Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template because of too many expensive parser function calls, and don't log it as "Nothing to do" so I won't be going back and checking it uselessly.

2010-12-27 17:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

• For {{as of}}, still correct the "December 2010"-format date if it has extraneous punctuation or the like.
• Do a null edit on pages in Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template that aren't actually in that category.

test.pl:

• Add a --nodebug option to turn off debug logging.

2010-12-27 16:55 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Try to detect when an article is in Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template because a valid maintenance category just doesn't exist yet, and don't log it as "Nothing to do" so I won't be going back and checking it uselessly.
• Treat dates before 2000 in maintenance tags as probably invalid.

2010-12-27 16:10 (UTC)

• Fix linebreaks in logging statements.

2010-12-24 04:45 (UTC)

2010-12-23 22:35 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Use $monthnum{$months{$1}} instead of $monthnum{$1}, the latter will fail if any of the typo entries in $monthre are matched.

2010-12-21 21:40 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Linebreaks in the middle of dates need to be corrected, so don't collapse them to spaces prematurely.

2010-12-21 15:30 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Surprisingly enough, {{as of|December 2010}} works for years after 2004, so don't correct it to {{as of|2010|12}}.

2010-12-22 14:40 (UTC)

CHUUClerk:

• Fix copy-paste bug (use $tok2 instead of $res).

2010-12-21 16:15 (UTC)

TagDater:

• If the bot finds nothing to do in an article, check the article's transcludes for new redirects to a dated template. Otherwise the bot winds up complaining about everything that uses that new redirect for up to 24 hours.

2010-12-20 18:20 (UTC)

TagDater:

• Automatically recognize all typoed months with an edit distance of 1. I'm not sure trying to handle a distance of 2 would be worth the greatly-increased memory usage.

BAGBot:

• Try to handle second and extended trials.

2010-12-19 15:25 (UTC)

2010-09-03 17:50 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API:

• Store cookies in a file in the data directory, so the bot doesn't have to re-login all the time.
• Since we will now have persistent logins, have login() by default check if we are already logged in and don't bother doing so again. And add a parameter to override that.
• Allow $BOTNUM in store_dsn, and change the default to use it. This means AnomieBOT's configuration can be simpler as it doesn't have to specify store_dsn anymore.
• Set umask when creating files (e.g. the database file if it doesn't already exist).
• Add a "logout" function, not that $api->query(action=>'logout') isn't easy enough.

And store the database info under both the old and new keys in case someone actually corrects the {{BRFA}} (we can't do it automatically because we can't know if a BRFA page named "FooBot 2" is task 2 for User:FooBot or task 1 for User:FooBot_2).

2010-04-09 18:00 (UTC)

2010-04-07 01:15 (UTC)

• MediaWiki just introduced a new wrinkle in the login process. Support it.

2010-04-02 01:45 (UTC)

2010-03-04 02:45 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Detect when there seems to be an unclosed "{{reflist" in the page, because that probably means there's really an LDR with an unclosed citation template.

2010-02-22 02:50 (UTC)

ChangeLog:

• I've been typing "2009" all year so far.

BAGBot:

• Someone changed the standard template to use {{User}} instead of a plain link. Accept that.

• Recognize {{BotExtendedTrial}}

2009-12-31 12:21 (UTC)

2009-12-07 17:50 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Apparently, if someone does <ref name="foo" name="bar">, Mediawiki treats it as <ref name="bar">. So we should too.

2009-12-07 14:55 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

• Done!

2009-12-06 17:30 (UTC)

BAGBot:

• Ignore BAG edits marked as minor.
• It turns out the way the bot name in {{BRFA}} is used effectively strips leading/trailing whitespace from the bot's name.

d::Templates:

• Adjust process_paramlist to more closely match Mediawiki's logic.

2009-12-04 15:50 (UTC)

diff.pl:

• Add "use utf8" for good measure.

AltLinkTemplateSubster:

• New task!

2009-10-21 17:05 (UTC)

AFDMergeFromCleaner:

• Don't count it as a problem when A redirects to C where it is "supposed" to redirect to B if B is a redirect to C.

diff.pl:

• Open the pipe as utf8 so diffs don't have mangled characters.

2009-10-12 17:45 (UTC)

IFDCloser:

• Add in code to automatically fix simple close-box mispositionings (i.e. where {{ifd top}} was put just before the header with at most a one-line closing rationale) instead of complaining. I've been using this manually for a good while now whenever the bot complains, so it should be good to go.

WikiProjectTagger:

• Done!

AnomieBOT::API:

• Let login use a higher maxlag. It shouldn't overload the servers any, since the very next query will still hit maxlag anyway.
• Have the test-mode fake edit write the raw data, it seems to be getting double-encoded if I specify utf8.

2009-10-09 19:50 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Stupid bug screwed up {{#tag:ref}} refs.

WikiProjectWorker:

• Done!

WikiProjectTagger:

• Add a log message for when the bot thinks it's done, so I can easily check the log to determine that.
• Start run for WP:Energy.

2009-10-08 17:25 (UTC)

WikiProjectWorker:

• Don't reset the iterator every 5 minutes.

AnomieBOT::API:

• Extra warnings for login failures
• Detect "invalid title" as a possible reason for not getting an edit token.

2009-09-28 04:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Apparently, list-defined refs can have the group implicitly defined by the encloding references tag. Which means we have to parse them out specially to get the group correct.

2009-09-23 15:20 (UTC)

RandomPagePicker:

• Add some checks for an undefined revid; not sure how that happens in the first place though.

2009-09-20 18:00 (UTC)

d::Nowiki, d::Templates:

• Add some generic stripping functions

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't move refs out of {{reflist}} (or {{#tag:references}}), because those are list-defined refs.
• Leave trying to actually fix errors with list-defined references for later, because it's really quite complicated when you start doing refs-inside-of-refs and whether you use <references> versus {{#tag:references}} and so on.

2009-09-18 14:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• It is apparently no longer an error for <references> to contain content.

2009-09-16 11:55 (UTC)

IFDCloser:

• Use the new "bot" parameter to {{adminbacklog}}.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

WikiProjectTagger:

• End WP:LONDON run. Seems to have been finished anyway before Domas broke things.

• Detect the case where the template to be moved is already on the target talk page but uses a different redirect or parameter spacing.

2009-07-08 14:55 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

• When we have lots of categories, getting to the ones at the end of the list can take enough time to cause troble. The fix: Remember which cats are completely done and don't even query them.

2009-07-06 18:10 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

• Apparently, some WP:Trains banners include WP:WPLT; detect when that is the case and don't add an additional tag.

2009-07-06 02:40 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger:

• Really start the run.

AutoAssessor2:

• Seems to be behaving oddly, try upping the time limit.

2009-05-23 22:35 (UTC)

AutoAssessor2:

• For some reason, geilimit=max seems to like timing out lately. So lower it.

2009-05-22 14:00 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger, d::WikiProjectTagging:

• And they reverted WPBS, for no particular reason. Whee.

2009-05-22 12:00 (UTC)

WikiProjectTagger, d::WikiProjectTagging:

• WPBS now supports 20 numbered parameters. A request is in to update WPB similarly; if the people there want to be stupid and not honor the request, I don't care about it then.

WikiProjectTagger:

• Prepare to restart run for WikiProject Energy, after several more people have weighed in.
• Fix to not tag when not told to process the namespace. It can easily enough be told to process but not assess (with undefs) or process with empty assessment (with '').

2009-05-21 01:30 (UTC)

AnomieBOT::API::Iterator:

• Apparently, the API will completely omit the 'query' node if there are absolutely no results.

2009-05-20 22:10 (UTC)

2009-03-27 13:10 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Bah, bugfix.

2009-03-27 03:00 (UTC)

General:

• BREAKING CHANGE: And it's a big one:
  • Data store changed from (binary) Storable to (readable) JSON. update-db.pl will change an existing database. This may affect the exact values storable in the permanent storage.
  • AnomieBOT::API now supports run-time decoration (something like mixins). Simply calling $api->decorators('d::Util') will magically add all the methods defined in d/Util.pm to $api.
  • $api->task() now takes additional arguments to set the throttles and decorators in one call.
  • The interface to the permanent storage has changed: $api->store now returns a hashref tied to the storage data for the current task. Thus, $api->store->{'foo'} accesses the 'foo' key in the database. All standard hash operations may be used.
  • The former $AnomieBOT::Task::basedir and AnomieBOT::Task::load have been moved to AnomieBOT::API.
  • Most utility methods have been moved from AnomieBOT::Task to the decorator d::Util. d::Util may be split in the future into more specific decorators.
• Completed tasks have had a note added that they will no longer run. Current tasks and utility scripts have been updated.
• New functions in d::Util: resolve_redirects() and redirects_to() to get redirects from or to a list of pages, respectively.
• d::WikiProjectTagging added, with functions for manipulating WikiProject banners.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• New function approved.
• Storage format of the "posted talk pages" info has changed; it will be automatically updated.

TemplateReplacer14:

• Task completed.

• Add a "query iterator" to the API.
• Add a "is_trial" method to the API object.

General:

• Rearrange a few other task configuration assignments as well, while I'm at it.

2009-02-22 03:45 (UTC)

General:

• Add support for the AssertEdit extension.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Assert "bot" by default. This means any non-flagged bot on a wiki with AssertEdit enabled will not be able to edit without changing the configuration file. trial.pl overrides this, so bot trials can still be conducted.
• Return better error text when an edit hook rejects the edit: detect all three current APIEditBeforeSave-using extensions' signatures in the response object, and fall back to dumping all response object properties.

SourceUploader & WatchlistUpdater:

• Use new configuration entry that sets assert=user, because these tasks run unflagged (even though they're on a flagged bot anyway).

SourceUploader:

• Remove the "5 minute" check, we want the source uploaded without delay.

2009-02-20 01:50 (UTC)

2009-02-13 04:55 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Detect when the bot is trying to restart.

2009-02-13 04:30 (UTC)

General:

• BREAKING CHANGE: Due to the upcoming API breaking change, the functionality of $api->query() has changed to automatically continue over most property requests. $task->fullquery() is now redundant and has been removed.
• Update all tasks to replace fullquery calls.

2009-02-05 20:55 (UTC)

• New task, IFDCloser.
• No need to do "if(keys %hash)" or the like, "if(%hash)" works just as well.
• New function $task->whine() to post a message asking for help to a talk page, with repetition prevention and such.

2008-11-13 01:10 (UTC)

ReplaceExternalLinks:

• Completed.

2008-11-11 23:20 (UTC)

ReplaceExternalLinks:

2008-11-11 12:00 (UTC)

ReplaceExternalLinks:

• Approved.

2008-11-11 05:05 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer5:

• Speedily approved!

2008-11-11 03:50 (UTC)

General:

• Don't apply the edit throttle in test mode, since no edit is actually being made.
• New task, TemplateReplacer5.

2008-11-10 23:00 (UTC)

ReplaceExternalLinks:

• Oops, put the edit throttle back to 10s.

2008-11-09 15:55 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't count {{#tag:ref}} magic words when looking for refs to move out of templates.

2008-11-08 18:40 (UTC)

ReplaceExternalLinks:

• Forgot to skip <nowiki> and the like, not that that's likely to be encountered.

2008-11-08 18:25 (UTC)

General:

• New task, ReplaceExternalLinks.

2008-11-06 00:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Don't break when someone forgets the quotes around a ref name containing non-ASCII letters.

2008-11-02 04:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Extra logging

2008-11-01 21:24 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer4:

• Completed

TemplateReplacer3:

• Fix status metadata

2008-10-30 18:15 (UTC)

AutoAssessor:

• Seems to be completed.

2008-10-30 12:33 (UTC)

SandboxCleaner:

• How did that get mis-marked?!? Fortunately, it was never allowed to actually

do anything, so there were no edits made.

2008-10-30 12:20 (UTC)

AutoAssessor:

• Approved!

2008-10-28 12:40 (UTC)

AutoAssessor:

• Store the "checked" flag for unassessable articles.

2008-10-28 12:30 (UTC)

General:

• New task, AutoAssessor.

2008-10-26 00:50 (UTC)

SourceUploader:

• Change "warning" omboxes to use type=content, even though the border is overridden anyway.

2008-10-25 23:40 (UTC)

General:

• When an API edit errors via result="Failure" rather than the standard error node, fill in something sane in the return value's error node.

2008-10-18 00:10 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer4:

• Speedily approved!

2008-10-18 00:10 (UTC)

General:

• New task, TemplateReplacer4.

2008-10-15 01:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• D'oh, got the parameters backwards.

2008-10-13 02:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Catch the case where the last <ref> in the page is unclosed.
• Another sanity check: reference body contains a wikitext header.

2008-10-12 03:25 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Add more common errors to fix: <ref name-"foo">, <ref name+"foo">, and <ref "foo">.

2008-10-11 13:40 (UTC)

General:

• Improve signal handling, add HUP support in bot.pl to restart the bot.

2008-10-09 13:30 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Add in logging to a page in userspace.
• Another rule for the vandalism detector.

2008-10-07 03:25 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Fix the "skipping" for the vandalism to really skip.

2008-10-07 01:00 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Detect common vandalism and excessive breakage, and refuse to exacerbate the situation by trying to fix it.

General:

• Adjust {{bots}} optout handling.

2008-09-30 22:09 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

General:

• Adjust halting code in bot.pl

2008-09-24 00:05 (UTC)

• Seems to be completed.

2008-09-21 04:10 (UTC)

General:

• Adjust framework to support multiple "instances" within the bot, so tasks may run in parallel with each other.
• Add the ability for individual tasks to have sections in the config file.
• Only count successful edits towards the trial edit limit.

2008-09-20 20:20 (UTC)

General:

• Change to SQLite instead of AnyDBM_File for storing persistent data.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Second supplemental task approved!

TemplateReplacer3:

• Approved!

SourceUploader:

• Add support for supplemental BRFAs in the metadata, so OrphanReferenceFixer can show up correctly.

WatchlistUpdater:

• The fix for bugzilla:15471 is finally live, remove workaround.

2008-09-18 23:17 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• More curly quote oddness.

2008-09-17 11:30 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer2:

• Task completed.

2008-09-16 16:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Strip invalid parameters from unnamed refs with a body.

2008-09-16 13:06 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Fix some obviously incorrect reference bodies (only-whitespace and "Insert footnote text here").
• Make a pattern non-greedy so it won't include trailing spaces in the quotes.

2008-09-15 02:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Add code for checking wikilinked articles for ref bodies, disabled pending BRFA.

General:

• Sort tasks by an internal priority on startup.
• edittoken now follows redirects by default; a new parameter overrides this. Note this changes the prototype of the function.

TemplateReplacer2:

• Don't use the bot flag when posting to the talk page (in case I copy the code to a new task).

2008-09-13 20:55 (UTC)

General:

• Fix fake return object for test-mode edit command.
• Pass non-stripped template name from process_template.
• process_template needs to detect | inside wikilinks for correct parsing.
• New task, TemplateReplacer3.

2008-09-13 18:40 (UTC)

General:

• Add <pre> to strip_nowiki.
• Fix strip_nowiki to handle nested tags better.
• Fix RCFeed.pm to better parse rc messages.

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Avoid deleting large swaths of text when a vandal puts <ref ... (without the closing >) in the wikitext.

2008-09-13 02:00 (UTC)

General:

• The template processor could end up with unreplaced <nowiki> tokens in the output. It's nice to know my plan worked to prevent edits when the bot tried to save that.

2008-09-13 01:20 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Add code to notice {{inuse}} (actually, the category it puts the page in) and not edit if the page has been touched in the last two hours.
• Yet another b0rken ref special case: <ref name "foo">. Apparently on the 8th I only fixed <ref name>.

General:

• Better error message for login failures.

2008-09-11 01:04 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• New function approved!

2008-09-08 11:46 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• I can't believe the software accepts <ref name "foo">, but it sort-of does (it sets name="name").

2008-09-08 02:58 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer2:

• Speedily approved!

2008-09-08 01:32 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer2:

• Add "Per request" to the messages.

2008-09-07 03:35 (UTC)

General:

• Add use utf8 to the modules that didn't have it. Lacking it seems to cause issues with edit summaries containing non-ASCII characters.

2008-09-07 02:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• I can't believe someone actually used “” quotes in a ref tag, but they did.

2008-09-06 18:34 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• It seems that quoted tag attributes can't actually contain <, while unquoted tag attributes can contain all sorts of garbage. So adjust the regexen to take that into account.

2008-09-06 16:26 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Reduce logging verbosity.

2008-09-06 01:28 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• Add two more common screw-ups, mainly because otherwise the bot screws things up worse trying to fix it the normal way.

2008-09-05 17:40 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer:

• In the new code, don't mark $moved if the ref was just found.

2008-09-05 17:00 (UTC)

General:

• Add a $data parameter to process_templates.
• New task: TemplateReplacer2.

OrphanReferenceFixer

• More regex-screwup fixes.
• Minor extra cleanup: <references> without </references> is now caught.
• Add new code to fix another common category of errors: refs inside templates that end up not being rendered, which breaks uses elsewhere in the page.

2008-09-04 16:33 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

• Adjust the regex to not screw up <ref name=foo bar/>.

2008-09-04 16:02 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

• Add another common error: <ref name=foo bar> to <ref name="foo bar">

2008-09-04 14:20 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer:

• Task completed.

2008-09-04 13:52 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

• Try to avoid space-only changes.

2008-09-04 13:30 (UTC)

General:

• When testing, ignore shutoff page.

OrphanReferenceFixer

• BUGFIX: Adjust ref-finding regex so <ref name=foo bar>baz=quux</ref> will not think "name=foo bar>baz=quux</ref" is the parameter list of the ref tag ("name=foo bar" is).

2008-09-04 10:40 (UTC)

General:

• Don't throw an error in AnomieBOT::API destructor when Perl destroys things out of order.

TemplateReplacer:

• Approved!

OrphanReferenceFixer

• Approved!

WatchlistUpdater:

• Work around bugzilla:15471 for now.

2008-09-02 00:45 (UTC)

General:

• Adjust template processor to trim whitespace from the template name and to handle removing the whole line when the template being removed it the entire content of the line.

TemplateReplacer:

• Renumber WPBS/WPB when removing nested templates.

2008-08-31 23:12 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer:

• Comment out tf code, since apparently it isn't actually needed.
• BRFA filed.

2008-08-31 20:20 (UTC)

TemplateReplacer:

• Remove dead code accidentally copied from OrphanReferenceFixer.
• Canonicalize WPVG template name since we're editing it anyway.

OrphanReferenceFixer

• Fix the "too recently" check to look at when it was broken and not when it was last good.

2008-08-31 19:10 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer

• Add a check for "reference broken too recently" to help avoid fixing broken refs in vandal edits. Currently set at 5 minutes (where it'll do nothing) until we get more comments at the BRFA.

2008-08-31 18:56 (UTC)

General:

• Bug fix in template processor, it was getting the "}}" in the final parameter.
• New task, TemplateReplacer.

2008-08-30 01:15 (UTC)

General:

• Begin development of a new task: SandboxCleaner, loosely based on User:SoxBot IV/Source.
• And put a hold on it, since SoxBot IV is back up. Oh well.

2008-08-29 23:45 (UTC)

General:

• Add use strict where it was missing, and fix the bugs that exposes.
• Move conf.ini documentation to conf.sample.ini.
• Add section support to the ini parsing.
• Add support for a Recent Changes feed from the IRC server. Not completely tested yet, though.
• Change the standard time limit per module from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.

SourceUploader:

• Remove line number reporting from log messages.

2008-08-26 19:32 (UTC)

General:

• md5_hex() needs its input UTF-8-encoded.

2008-08-26 12:12 (UTC)

SourceUploader:

• Fix bug that resulted in POD docs being prepended to their source pages.

2008-08-26 02:18 (UTC)

General:

• Write API support, since it is now enabled.
