Background Information edit

This bot is currently being developed to maintain a table of National space flight statistics on the following page/section:

List_of_spaceflight_records#Total_human_spaceflight_time_by_country

NOTE: The table has now been moved the the following template: Template:TotalHumanSpaceFlightByNation. This was suggested to prevent SpaceFactsBot from dominating the "history" of the actual List of Spaceflight Records page. See Discussion here: User_talk:Andrewpullin#SpaceFactsBot_and_embedded_tables Andrewpullin (talk) 17:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Development Information / History can be found here:

Talk:List_of_spaceflight_records#Countries_by_time_in_space_table

Included are discussion related to a number of bugs that were uncovered during development and how they were resolved

The original table can be found in this section of the Talk page (It has not been updated in some time):

Talk:List_of_spaceflight_records#Countries_by_time_in_space_table

This bot will use statistics from http://spacefacts.de/ as was the case for the original table.

Current testing of the bot is being performed here:
