Hi Dušan Kreheľ -- do you intend to proceed with this BRFA? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 23:31, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the current status is suspend/sleeped (because not in the bot table). I will You inform when the change of actual status. ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 14:23, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How do you plan to update the data? I would definitely suggest considering adding this data to Wikidata if you haven't thought of that already, which will mean there won't be edits to articles for each update of data (and also other projects can use the info then). Other common alternatives are editing a template on English Wikipedia, or a Commons Data page. I think these are considered the best ways to do bot updates of statistical data. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 15:04, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ProcrastinatingReader: The actual data (year 2020 and before) are under CC-BY. The license is broken on Wikidata. From skwiki, cswiki, plwiki, hrwiki, ukwiki, huwiki and srwiki have the only the one wiki (huwiki) the data from Wikidata and the data are not actual for the every place. It is none so big catastrophe for resource when one change per year. Another, the actual implementation want do least administration requirements for humans if I want to update data for other wikis. The existing solution, maybe not on the resources nice, but the consensus has the easiest. One user wants such a template, the other so, someone like text, an existing solution, maybe not perfect, but he did it well. ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 15:40, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I don't see a good reason to require updating a non-article data source, especially if that means rewriting code just for enwiki, and if it's only annual updates. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone set my bot into the group "confirmed", because the captcha now? @ProcrastinatingReader: ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yeah. @Primefac and Xaosflux: can one of you do this? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 20:53, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Primefac (talk) 21:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, the one change is finished. Actual, more changes would be only this one style = To update the infobox of Slovak places. ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 21:50, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So a few initial notes:

This is the English-language Wikipedia, so titles should ideally be in English too. The site seems to natively support English language (toggle) which then gives English titles. It would be better to use those.
Quantities should be formatted in line with this project's WP:MOS. eg MOS:DECIMAL suggests using the full-point as a decimal separator, not a comma (9.58 not 9,58).
Value of |population_as_of= is a bit too detailed. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 23:45, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ProcrastinatingReader: So next change.

I take the date from Slovak page version. I saw somewhere the date was only in Slovak page version.
Ok. It's fixed.
Maybe yes, maybe no. Default is only the year (ex. 2020), another user can read the detail (over the tooltip). A quality encyclopedia has accurate information. This detailed information may not be easy to find for no-Slovak people. If it is a big problem, i can change that.

Trial complete. The changes: Special:Contributions/Dušan_Kreheľ_(bot). The page size changes "−10" are the corrections of the first not entirely correct changes. ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 01:36, 20 February 2022 (UTC), ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 01:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{BAG assistance needed}} ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 23:57, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{BotApproved}} I'm not seeing any major red flags, and in two weeks no one has undone the data, so clearly something is going right. Primefac (talk) 14:21, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per discussion at Special:PermaLink/1118930072#Typo_in_section_name, as well as the nonsense around Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Dušan Kreheľ (bot) IV, I am revoking this bot task and blocking the bot. There are serious issues that need to be evaluated if the bot is to be run in the future. Primefac (talk) 19:47, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
