[edit] FFBot, new function

Request to expand on the current task of updating {{cleanup}} tags to help out with updating {{wikify}} tags too, to {{wikify-date|...}} as Pearle does currently. Just to help reduce the load off Pearle, and in case the other bot goes offline/on holiday. Thanks, — FireFox ^(talk) _{16:14, 26 August 2006}

Since another bot already does this, the only question is how would they load share, and how similar is the code for these functions?Voice-of-All 15:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Well if my judgements are correct, Pearle doesn't usually edit late in the evening (UTC) which is when my bot usually runs. I don't think sharing the load would be a problem; there are two or three bots that currently update the {{cleanup}} tags, and they work perfectly together. The code between the cleanup and wikify functions is very very similar – the only real differences between them are the words "cleanup" and "wikify". — FireFox ^(talk) _{15:21, 27 August 2006}

So the code is a copy (same langauge and text) of Pearle's, just modified?Voice-of-All 16:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, the code isn't similar to Pearle's. I probably mistook the question. FFBot is an AWB bot. — FireFox ^(talk) _{16:51, 27 August 2006}

[edit] FFBot, second function

Quite simple: replacing {{cleanup}} with {{cleanup-date|...}}. There is at least one other bot which does this, but in my opinion, the more bots there are to do the job, the more efficiently the job gets done. — FireFox ^(talk) _{20:38, 9 August '06}

I see no problem with it. Want the AWB settings file? If so, you'd be running the same code as another bot approved for the function. alphaChimp ^laudare 02:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't mind, it's not hard to set up (I think). — FireFox ^(talk) _{11:04, 12 August '06}

Straight forwad enough good ahead. --pgk^(talk) 19:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. — FireFox ^(talk) _{20:14, 14 August 2006}

[edit] FFBot, third function

This will be the third function if the below request is approved. I'd like approval for FFBot to help out with WP:CfD – I've noticed there is often a slight backlog here and I see no problems with having another bot to help out. If approved, it will move all involved pages into a different category per the discussion result, and then I'll delete the old category. — FireFox ^(talk) _{18:08, 13 August '06}

Give a cpl diffs pls -- Tawker 19:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[1] [2] [3]. Is this enough? — FireFox ^(talk) _{19:10, 14 August 2006}

I'll just post a few more just in case: [4], [5], [6]. — FireFox ^(talk) _{20:14, 14 August 2006}

Yep, go ahead, that looks fine -- Tawker 02:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. — FireFox ^(talk) _{10:05, 15 August 2006}

[edit] FFBot, new function

As per [7]. — FireFox ^(talk) _{18:45, 15 August 2006}
