Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): Pywikipediabot
Function Summary: Like BCBot, tagging images.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Continuous/daily (whenever possible, I need a toolserver account)
Edit rate requested: 10-15 edits per Minute (I'm not too sure of this, as I haven't run it yet :) )
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N ( :( )
Function Details:
We all know what BCBot does right? It basically does that, just differently.
The code is here:
User:John Bot III/Code
Update: Sorry about that :p
The bot will basically look at the uploaded files log and check to see if the image meets any of the following:
- There is only a {{
PD}} tag in the description
- There is no template in the summary
and if it does it adds {{
subst:nld}} and notify the unloader.
Discussion
- What does the bot do? One of the problems people have with BetacommandBot is that it's got at least eight different functions, which generally aren't related to each other. --

- Sadly, I don't speak much python. Do you think you could give us a more detailed explanation of which BCBot task it duplicates, and, how it does it differently? {{

Reading the source indicates that it checks images for license metadata. —

- What about substed templates or text that does the same as a template? its very difficult for a bot to parse these kinds of things.

- ImageTaggingBot uses {{
untagged}} when it can't find a license tag, the idea being that a human will then look at the image before deciding if it needs to be deleted or not. Perhaps this bot could do the same thing? --

- It will use {{
untagged}} now though the use of {{
subst:nld}}. Betacommand, could I have an example?

- Also, it's a clone of
Filbot over at the commons with modifications for wikipedia.

- Just dropping by, to check the discussions. One comment here. As far as I can read, the recent
modification you did does not make the bot use {untagged} instead of {nld}. It only makes the bot skip pages which are previously tagged with the {untagged} template.

Does the operator understand the fair use policy, and is the operator willing and able to respond to endless frustrating queries civilly? Any other objections to a trial of this bot? —

- I checked a few samples from the test run. It seems that several of the bot-tagged images have a "vandal history", like
this first example, or the
second example. It is fine these cases are found, but maybe they should be marked more specificly?

- If you can find a template or even make one That would be excellent :).

Untagged Old}}, Feel free to change it. It will be used when going though old images.

- Ok, fine. Good idea with an extra reminder to check the file history etc. for old images.

I've checked a few diffs and it looks okay. I'm willing to go ahead with approval if there are no objections, and another member of the approvals group checks some diffs. —

- I don't see any problems with what it's done so far (few enough edits, that I was able to go over all of them).
