WAPLeaderboardBot

Operator: Jeremyb (talk · contribs)

Time filed: 21:42, Saturday January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic (after trial)

Programming language(s): python, php

Source code available: will use pywikibot/pywikipedia lib with some custom code and Frank's code. any new code will be released under GPL or related license (e.g. AGPL) and in public version control

Function overview: Calculate stats for WP:USPP classes and update the onwiki leaderboard

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): This was requested by ragesoss from the WP:USPP

Edit period(s): once hourly or once per 3-4 hrs

Estimated number of pages affected: 1 per run

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function details: Frank's page which already exists on the toolserver uses a hardcoded list of users and updates to the corresponding (static) page onwiki are done manually.

I'd like to address both of those issues; first with a bot that just copies from frank's output and then with a TS acct (don't have one yet) and update it pull user lists from the wiki on each update.

Discussion

Does the page really change significantly and frequently such that more than daily updates are really necessary? Mr.Z-man 22:42, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll adapt frequency in response to what the ambassador project wants. I think 1 edit per hour is fine if that's what they want or slower if they prefer slower. --Jeremyb (talk) 02:22, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (20 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Doesn't seem like that big a deal. harej 06:54, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
