Are you actively developing the [[Battlestar Wiki:Bots#Bots Under Review|vote bot]]? If not, I'd like to write it ;) --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello.  
:neg. Go for it. I have wikipedia version, but havn't really looked at it in a while. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 20:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
::OK, I've finished it and it's running fine on my wiki. It does require MW 1.13, though. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 12:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
::That could be a problem. :D Gotta link? [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 12:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:::To what, the bot or 1.13? Currently, 1.13 hasn't been released yet, there's only 1.13alpha that you can download from SVN. I'll upload the bot code later, after I've documented it. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:::No no. :p To your wiki to where you tested it. :D [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I have it running on localhost, so I can't really show you. Maybe you could set up the Hangar Bay again (it's still out) and have it run 1.13alpha? I'll be happy to do the SVN checkout if you feel awkward about that. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::domain back up an working. You should be able to access the hb folder with your access. I think the LocalSettings.php file that is on there now has the current username/password you will need for updating to 1.13. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 15:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::Thanks. However, I don't have write access to /home/bsgwiki/bots/ either, so I can't add VoteBot there. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 18:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Do'h! :P Will add. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 20:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


OK, more trouble. The bot is up there and I can run it from my machine, but since I guess we'll wanna run it on apollo as a cron job, I'll need you to work around some stupid PHP bug and add the following lines to /etc/hosts:
I come to you because I need your help. I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.
<pre>
74.53.78.34 hb.battlestarwiki.org
74.53.78.34 en.battlestarwiki.org
</pre>
etc. for every subdomain we want VoteBot to run on. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 20:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:Werid. Let me check it out before I do anything with the hosts files. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 21:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


== Reminder for Shane... ==
The reason of my message is simple. I updated the Episode List (not the template, only the wikipage) and had to do some modifications, involving accents, missing or useless capital letters, and special letters. I think i'm done, however these modifications broke several links to episode pages.

I know it is possible to hide them on screen, but that would not be quite clean, that's why I tried to rename the pages who needed it... unsuccessfully, since I'm not allowed to do it. Could you please grant me the correct permissions, so that I could rename the pages with a correct typography ? Afterwoods, when there is no more broken links on the "episode list" wiki page, I shall update de "episode list" template page, and the episode infoboxes.
 
Thank you.

Hello.

I come to you because I need your help. I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.

The reason of my message is simple. I updated the Episode List (not the template, only the wikipage) and had to do some modifications, involving accents, missing or useless capital letters, and special letters. I think i'm done, however these modifications broke several links to episode pages.

I know it is possible to hide them on screen, but that would not be quite clean, that's why I tried to rename the pages who needed it... unsuccessfully, since I'm not allowed to do it. Could you please grant me the correct permissions, so that I could rename the pages with a correct typography ? Afterwoods, when there is no more broken links on the "episode list" wiki page, I shall update de "episode list" template page, and the episode infoboxes.

Thank you.
