The following is a visual basic script for adding cleanuplistings to the wiki for a specific project.
The script requires that you have XP (or higher) with VBS installed (this is installed on most Windows machines). For large projects (70k articles), it will take 250MB+ of RAM (VBS isn't the most efficient, and neither is IE).
![]() | Script was updated June 2013 to reflect changes to toolserver CSV data changes, an oldest column was added. |
Changelog
edit- Updated June 2013 to support toolserver CSV data changes and add 3 second delay to allow login.
Setup
edit- Open a plain text editor, such as notepad
- Copy and paste the code below into notepad
- Add your username, password, project, and project page between the " and ". Example below:
user = "sampleuser"'username
userpass = "this is where password goes"'password
project = "Australian rules football"'As called on toolserver
projectpage = "Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian rules football/Cleanup listing data"
- In notepad, select File->Save as and select "All files" at "File Save as Type"
- Enter the title cleanuplistingtowiki.vbs and select save in a directory.
Usage
edit- Double-click cleanuplistingtowiki.vbs. It will open an IE window, log you into Wikipedia, and create a preview of the table.
- Select 'Save Page' from the preview. Done!
