ConversionBot is a bot used by deguix in the process of uploading of Archive pages and files to this wiki. Its jobs, before the official announcement of the wiki, were these below:
- Created/updated pages as people were uploading to Archive with deguix's 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.
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.
