Welcome to the User page of Anomie. Some but not all of the Anomies you may encounter around the Internet are me.
Interests
My Wikipedia-related interests include video game systems from the 16-bit era, standardized user warning templates, and taking care of various tasks with my bot, AnomieBOT. I also submit bugs and patches to MediaWiki's bugzilla, and if I really feel like it I'll occasionally convert an image to SVG. If you need to know something about the SNES or have an interesting bot task, I may be your person.
Someday, if I ever get motivated enough, I would like to rewrite WP:OR, WP:RS, and WP:V. Even though the rewrites would probably stay as essays in my userspace forever.
User scripts
See each script for installation instructions.
Bot requests
I watch WP:BOTREQ, or you could make the request on my talk page or the bot's talk page. General categories of tasks I can easily do include:
- Replacing one template with another, or removing templates.
- Manipulating template parameters.
- WikiProject tagging.
Other tasks I could do easily enough, but am unlikely to do:
- Archiving talk pages; there are plenty of existing bots that do this.
Some tasks are just not appropriate for the type of bot I run:
- Anything that is best done by downloading the entire database and processing it offline.
- Anything involving wikis other than en.wikipedia.
Feel free to ask about any task, even if it is or isn't listed above.
History
Many years ago, I decided "anomie" would be a nice name for a computer. A few years later, I had decided to abandon my old 'net handle, and I couldn't come up with a new one I liked; in the interim, I borrowed the name of my computer. I never did come up with a new handle, I'm just "anomie" now.
While the contrast between the definition of "anomie" and the nature of a computer is somewhat amusing, when it comes to me it's just a name.

The Original Barnstar |
| For coding AnomieBOT 8, saving WP Physics and WP Astronomy participants a boatload of time by finding the redirects and disambiguation pages within the pages covered by these two projects (~30,000 pages) and tagging them as such. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 06:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC) |

| I gave your bot a barnstar, so I figured you deserve one as well! The orphaned reference fixer is a great idea and very well implemented at that. Good job!—Akrabbimtalk 15:25, 10 February 2010 (UTC) |

The da Vinci Barnstar |
| In recognition of your bots' wonderful work on Glee (season 1) digging behind my orphaning edits within the hour to fix up my mistakes. I really have no clue how you programmed that, must have been tough! CycloneGU (talk) 18:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC) |

The Cleanup Barnstar |
| I didn't know the bot can rescue refs from other articles! I like to think that my proper edit summary helped the bot find the ref, but I imagine it's much smarter than that. (Hopefully not too smart =)
For your bot cleaning up after me, please accept this as a small token of my appreciation. –xenotalk 02:25, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
