SoxBot 18[edit]

Operator: X!

Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic

Programming language(s): PHP with Pillar framework

Source code available: Not yet

Function overview: Adding parameter to talk page templates.

Edit period(s): One time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Roughly 1800

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): N

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

Function details: Per this botreq, this bot will go around through all pages in Category:WikiProject EastEnders articles, and will get the text of each one. If it detects the presence of a listas parameter, it skips the page. Else, it adds it to the {{EastEnders project class}} template.

It's not exclusion compliant, seeing at the Pillar framework does not yet support it.

Discussion[edit]

The Pillar framework does support exclusion compliance, as far as I can see; can you not call checkexcluded('SoxBot') on each page before you modify it? — madman bum and angel 20:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
