ConversionBot is a bot used by 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 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. But there are some ideas which this bot could use in the future:

  • Check scripts syntax.
  • Fix broken links by crossing them with <strike> 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.
  • Create more advanced categories that users could use for easily find an article. This is in development.
  • Create a list of articles an user is author of. This may be put on a child page of an user, such as User:deguix/List of Contributions.
  • Report success/failure to this page.

These actions below will be used, if implemented, with the user 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. This could be also a tool to assign an author as the first contributor of a page.
