IdefixBot: Interwiki[]

Does your bot changes interwikis without your input at all?

And, how does it select random mainspace pages? The namespace parameter doesn't work to me.

Also, how does it work automatically? --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk

I am no longer using Pywikibot, I wrote my bot in Java because there was not enough interesting features in Pywikibot and because my bot is not only working on interwiki links on the French wiki (and because I like programming ^^).

But I think that I was using autonomous and random:100 parameters. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 15:12, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Have you written API to write, login and edit wiki pages through base MediaWiki API yourself or used a ready one (e.g WikiLink, Java Wiki Bot Framework, Wiki.java etc.)? dand0 (talk) 16:33, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I am using JWBF (except for deletion and move logs). • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 16:42, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks (again)! Also, does "Except" mean that you use your own scripts for deletetion and move logs? dand0 (talk) 16:49, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Likely, yes. --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk
Contribs 16:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I had problems with JWBF, so I wrote scripts to read logs with api.php. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 16:57, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, anyway!I'm so glad that I will be programming again! --dand0 (talk) 17:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

My bot[]

Can you set a bot flag on my bot JARVISTheBot? I intend to use it on French wiki to fix interlanguage links. --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk

Interwikis in translation articles[]

Please don't fix interwikis in articles that are parts of translation projects. Wikis in other languages don't have them, so having interwikis there is useless. --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk
Contribs 12:34, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Ok, but I don't understand why translation projects can't have links to other languages, why is it useless ? • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 12:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Oops, I maybe forgot that we may need to prepare interwikis so that the target wikis have them being up-to-date. But it will mostly matter when the translations are done.

Also, please fix your signature: you meant to put [[User:ObelusPA2|ObelusPA2]] instead of [[User:ObelusPA2|ObelusPA2]].

I removed the color in my signature, it was useless...

I think that I will put a priority to articles that are not part of translation projects. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:15, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

How it is done? --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk

I am not using Pywikibot. I write my bot in Java, with JWBF, so I can do everything I want. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:42, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

I know, but... Does it exclude translation pages by ignoring the sub-categories of [[Category:Translations]]? --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk
Contribs 13:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

No, it just looks in the title if there is things like "/cz" or "/ro". I made a list of language tags. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:56, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

IdefixBot summary translation[]

The summaries for your bot are not translated according to the wiki.

Suggestion: Add an associative array ("map") with language codes as keys, and translated text as values. They are to be in some constant storage class or something like that.

Example for "Adding" text:

   public static HashMap<String, String> addingTrans = new HashMap<String, String>(number_of_languages);
   
   // ...
   
   public YourClass(arguments) {
       // ...
       addingTrans.put("en", "Adding");
       addingTrans.put("fr", "Ajoute");
       addingTrans.put("ru", "Добавление");
       // ...
   }

I already made a class for this, but I put only French and English... It is now supposed to speak Russian, I will try to find translations for other languages.

Can you just translate "Minor changes around interwiki links" into russian please ? And are "изменил" and "удалил" good translations for "modifying" and "removing" ? • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 21:08, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

«Малые изменения интервики-ссылок». For sentence «Robot modifying/removing xx» they are. dand0 (talk) 03:34, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Or «изменение» for modifying and «удаление» for removing, it is your choice what to use. dand0 (talk) 03:36, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Done • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 17:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

You did not enabled russian translation for minor changes and it will be better to use the second variant for modifying and removing interwikis. dand0 (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean with "the second variant"… • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I mean it is better to use «изменение» for modifying and «удаление» for removing. Is the russian translation for minor changes enabled? dand0 (talk) 13:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't have translation for "Minor changes around interwiki links", so russian translation is not enabled yet for this sentence. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:46, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I told you it in my first message in the conversation. dand0 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok, sorry, it seems that I need to buy glasses... • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Google Translate works well for short phrases, but not full sentence. a20001017^Talk 06:06, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

"Minor changes around interwiki links" translates to "Небольшие изменения возле интервики-ссылок". --Naista2002 ᐸ Talk
Contribs 08:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Can you give me the full database of translations? (or perhaps a link to it in some site?) — Yours, Agent Nick the Red³⁷ (t · c) f.k.a. Naista2002 14:14, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

And, please change “Малые изменения интервики-ссылок” to “Малые изменения возле интервики-ссылок”; Dand0 mistranslated something. — Yours, Agent Nick the Red³⁷ (t · c) f.k.a. Naista2002 15:57, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

My bot only speaks French, English and Russian, I didn't have time to find the other translations, sorry...

In french, "Adding" is "Ajout de", "Modifying" is "Modification de" and "Removing" is "Suppression de". • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 16:28, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

NickTheRed, are you kidding me? Bot changes interwikis theirselves and nothing around them (for example position (places them after categories)). dand0 (talk) 17:58, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

No, but the English phrase is “Minor changes around interwiki links”. That means that it does changes around the links, not to them directly. So the proper translation is “Малые изменения возле интервики-ссылок”. Yours, Agent Nick the Red³⁷ (t · c) f.k.a. Naista2002 18:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Have you ever actually seen what the bot did with this summary? ObelusPA2, what does bot do with this summary? List all occasions, please. dand0 (talk) 11:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

This summary is supposed to be chosen when there is no link addition, modification or deletion. But it is true that there are some bugs, and there is sometimes link deletion with this summary. But initially, this summary is chosen when links are not modified. More of the bugs with that are only on the English wiki. And it is not a reason to fight... • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 13:49, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

OK. NickTheRed37, I apologize, you were right. --dand0 (talk) 16:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I already fixed it. Your bot welcomed two unsigned users: pt:Usuário Discussão:Pecraft1020 (instead of Felipe1020) and pt:Usuário Discussão:D32843 (instead of David32843). Was that a test? Or an error? --Mine4017 (talk) 19:24, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

JWBF[]

Where to find a documentation on how to write a bot in JWBF? I want to extend JARVIS’ possibilities with it. I’m Nick the Red³⁷, a ru.wiki mod (fka Naista2002) (talk) 17:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I only used this to write my bot : http://jwbf.sourceforge.net/doc/

But of course, I'm here if you need some help. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 17:51, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I did found the README.md in the downloaded package. I also have an IDE to build a bot.

Now, another problem: I have a lot of .jar libraries in the /lib sub-folder, listed below. What I need to import, and what I don’t?

commons-codec-1.6.jar
commons-lang3-3.3.2.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
fluent-hc-4.3.4.jar
guava-17.0.jar
httpclient-4.3.4.jar
httpcore-4.3.2.jar
httpmime-4.3.4.jar
jackson-annotations-2.4.0.jar
jackson-core-2.4.1.1.jar

Here is what I have : https://web.archive.org/web/20190712014933/http://i.imgur.com/Z3NZjOa.png It is a bit strange, but it works... • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 18:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

This is not related to JWBF, but how to make the stdin input not be shown? I.e. for inputting passwords. I’m Nick the Red³⁷, a ru.wiki mod f.k.a. Naista2002 14:12, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if it is possible in Java. I put passwords in the source code. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 14:45, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

How to get a diff (revision difference) in JWBF? I’m Nick the Red³⁷, a ru.wiki mod f.k.a. Naista2002 18:01, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

There is no way to do that in the API, you have to create the algorithm. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 18:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I found an API for that : https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/ • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 18:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Q: How to get results of MediaWiki API requests in JWBF? Like this one:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<api>
  <tokens edittoken="6c82e3a4f17f52ff1e2e4a16b64fed10+\" />
</api>

I’m Nick the Red³⁷, f.k.a. Naista2002 14:50, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

There is nothing in the API to do that, I use scripts like this one (to get some logs). • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 16:10, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Does this work with POST requests or do I have to use a different code for them? — Yours, Agent Nick the Red³⁷ (t · c) f.k.a. Naista2002 16:15, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't know, I never tried to do that. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 16:21, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Good news : your script works !

Bad news : as you can see here, I only changed the login line...

This is not really helpful, I think that the problem is related to the "pageQueue" object, but I don't know how "PriorityQueue" works...

Here is what I get :

Start
Logged in !
Adding page “????????:JARVISTheBot/?????????” to the queue
Adding page “????????:JARVISTheBot/?????????2” to the queue
Adding page “????????:NickTheRed37/?????????” to the queue
Saving “????????:NickTheRed37/?????????”...done
Saving “????????:JARVISTheBot/?????????”...done
Saving “????????:JARVISTheBot/?????????2”...done
Stopping upload thread

Sorry for the "?". • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 01:49, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

PriorityQueue is a variant of normal queue that orders items by priority (determined by the comparator object; in the code above, the bigger the page, the bigger is priority). However I didn't need a such queue lol.

“?” is normal, I use UTF-8 while you may use a different character set.

— NickTheRed37 ^t⁄_c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 05:35, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Interwiki[]

I noticed that this bot is sometimes glitching out.

Brazilian interwiki on this page was incorrect, and I fixed it.

But previously there was a more severe error – just look at this.

@Violine1101: I'm sorry, it happened because I ran the bot manually on "Minecraft: Story Mode" pages. I was not expecting a redirect, I will add a security for this. Thanks for reporting it ! • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 14:51, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Czech wiki may be coming soon[]

Hello! So maybe you are aware, but in case you're not, there is the possibility we may have a Minecraft_Wiki:Admin_noticeboard#Czech_wiki coming soon. Just something to keep in the back of your mind. Also, thanks for your invaluable service : ) – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 15:41, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me, I will update the bot to run on this new wiki when it is created (it will need the bot flag). :) • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 15:45, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

My talk page in the French version[]

Hi ObelusPA2! I'm a user of Japanese Wiki. English is bad, but please understand.

When I edited the French version of Minecraft Wiki as a whim, a user who seemed to be your Bot immediately pasted a guideline (?) On my talk page. what is this?--{{User:Beans1512/Sign}} 15:22, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I created a bot that welcomes users on the French Minecraft Wiki by writing on their tlak page when they create their account. But it seems that since the new Gamepedia login system, it also welcomes some users from other wikis. I will try to find a solution. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 16:49, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, IdefixBot is no longer able to welcome new users since the new Gamepedia account system. I have not found a fix yet, but the bot will use your new page if I fix the issue one day. • ObelusPA2 ^d · FR Admin · 02:03, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
