Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article alerts edit
Hi, I see you added an RfC entry to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article alerts. Please note that this page is maintained automatically by a bot, and any changes you make to it will be overwritten the next day. What you should do in this case is start an RfC discussion at Talk:The Last of Us, and the bot will list the discussion on the report page during the next update. There are instructions at Wikipedia:RFC#Example if you need. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:42, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there. Why did you delete my Request for comment edit? Okay, so it needs to be added automatically, and not manually like I did? But it still looked consistent with other content neighboring my Request. Alright, what do I need to do to put it across? Pessimist2006 (talk) 20:04, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- Let me try again. The page Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article alerts is updated by a bot. You can see in that page's history, nobody else is editing it. Anything you add will be ignored and overwritten by the bot when it runs. In short, this is not the page where you would add your entries, in this case RfC. What you need to do is follow stamdard Wikipedia:RFC instructions -- go to Talk:The Last of Us, make a new section, add an {{rfc}} tag, post your comments. The bot will see this and update the page next run (tomorrow). You don't need to do anything else. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- But a comment from those who played the game (familiar with the plot) would be more helpful and useful. So how does one gets one's request to be added to the to do list? The game is related to video games, it's a video game. So... Pessimist2006 (talk) 20:20, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- It will be added automatically by the bot during the next run (tomorrow). It has been less than a day since the RfC was started and the bot only runs once a day. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 21:25, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- Really? That's great! Also, now I'm a bit curious. How does bot know that this should be added to the video game portal's to do list? Does he check articles under categories "video games" or what? I guess it's some sort of a tech question. Pessimist2006 (talk) 23:18, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- It checks for {{WikiProject Video games}} project banner template on the page's talk page. For video games, it also checks for {{Infobox video game}} infobox template on the article. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 08:24, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm thankful for this reply. Pessimist2006 (talk) 14:32, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
