+At this moment, this bot doesn't have a job, and won't have one. The reason is that coding a bot is like coding a hack. Bots aren't reliable, they make mistakes because of connection or not having sync between the local and remote databases, and they occupy most of my computer time. Making a change to the wiki's core code is different, because the db is changed directly and instantly, and my computer is free.

Deguix: Created a page for my bot "ConversionBot".

2005-06-23T20:29:30Z

Created a page for my bot "ConversionBot".

New page

ConversionBot is a bot used by [[User:deguix|deguix]] in the process of uploading of Archive pages and files to this wiki. It's job, before the official announcement of the wiki done these jobs:

*Created/updated pages as people were uploading to Archive with [[User:deguix|deguix]] changes.
*Uploaded files and their descriptions from the downloads section.
*Created the basic type of categories, based on Archive's.
*Held (and still holds) the categories and authors of each page.

Now, this bot don't have a job. But there are some ideas which this bot could use:
*Check scripts syntax.
*Fix broken links by crossing them with <nowiki><strike></nowiki> or using alternate links.
*Fix double and broken redirects and spelling instead of using the maintenance page spell checker for economy of server overload.
*Move pages if they have apparent spelling errors.
*Process rating of pages. I'm thinking on doing a talk page just for this, and then process it creating a local list to be interpreted by the bot. Then, write the rating of each page to a new page in each talk page, with respective comments for approval or not. The summary of each change in the rating talk page should be the rating value following with a comment.
*Report success/failure to this page.

These actions below will be used on [[User:deguix|deguix]] to show what's happening:
*Delete empty pages. First I need to detect what were the last changes and be deleted if it is verified that is not vandalism.
*Eliminate an edit from a page. This uses the process of deleting the entire page + the restoration of wanted edits. This could be an alternative of reverting a change, but this reverts changes for never be seen again.
