How does Soxbot find orphans?
Hi, I'm wondering how Soxbot finds orphans. Does it work off a database dump, or go through recently created articles, or Special:Lonelypages or something completely dfferent? I ask because there are two lists of orphaned articles here (from a 2003 database dump) and here (2004 dump). A lot of them have been de-orphaned already, but some of them haven't, but don't have {{orphan}} tags.--Aervanath's signature is boring 06:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- It parses Special:Lonelypages. Soxred 93 10:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
following comment double-posted here and at User talk:Addshore
- Two bots both patrolling Special:Lonelypages seems like a little overkill, and also a little limited, since that page only holds 1000 articles. I think it would be great if we could have at least one bot trying to process articles that aren't on Lonelypages.--Aervanath's signature is boring 15:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
My rejection
Hi -
You just rejected my request for a change in my user name...How do I get the word "user" from the beginning of my user name? I don't want/need it there! I didn't type it in.
Jennifer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.107.26 (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- You can't - The "User:" is a prefix that separates out users from articles. Please note that promotional or self-aggrandizing activities are looked down upon on Wikipedia. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 18:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi! please don't treat the website as database for your bots. if your bot wants to save such information somewhere, it can maintain local database, and anyone interested can go and query it. Your Evil DBA, Sincerely 18:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've blocked the bot for the moment. --brion (talk) 19:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- (confused) Uhh...what do you mean? Soxred 93 19:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- No more statusbot? xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 20:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I don't get this. Enigma message 20:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I gather the bot made too many edits in a short time. Could this not be solved by increasing the time interval to say 1 hour, rather than 15 minutes? xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 20:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- See the userpage for elaboration. Soxred 93 20:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

- I think a mistake may have been made (at least in reasoning if not the result) by User:Midom this bot does not update pages for somewhere to store information, it updates pages as the request of editors who wish to show there online/offline status. It's used for example in the status display of active users in Wikipedia:Highly_Active_Users/North_America. SunCreator (talk) 23:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Agree, this isn't a database, this bot is making useful edits requested by users, if the frequency is killing the servers, then would running it less often satisfy the needs? If user variables were available and transcludable this wouldn't be needed at all e.g. {{USERVAR:Xaosflux/LASTEDIT}}. — xaosflux Talk 23:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I still don't get why the bot was shut down? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think it was shut down because it made Too Many Edits™. If you'd like a workaround, see WT:Highly_Active_Users#Interim_workaround, we're also trying for a uservar as mentioned above. xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 17:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

SoxBot on simple:
Hi there, I've now blocked SoxBot on simple: - I'm a bit nervous about it being blocked over here. If you can show that the server admins aren't going to get annoyed with it running on simple:, I'd be happy to unblock it. Sorry! Archer7 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Retagging of do-attempt pages
Soxbot seems to retag do-attempt pages as orphans. This is not helpful for Wikipedia:O since we tag them as attempted to be able to weed through the list and leave the attempts for another time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bigflix&action=history for an example. Is there a solution for this? Shoombooly (talk) 22:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yep. Ask me. Done. Soxred 93 00:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
