== Link bot ==

You are clear to let loose the bot on changing [[Thirteenth Tribe]] to [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)]]; I've done the TOS links and made a list of pages that intentionally link the disambig page. The same goes for converting [[Earth]] to [[Earth (RDM)]], JubalHarshaw and I have done the TOS links and I've also got a list for that one. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 08:33, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

::::You mean you actually run the bot at your home PC and it just uses the HTTP interface to MediaWiki? Then you probably use [[Special:Search]], and you'd have to use a URL like "[http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Special:Search?ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns102=1&ns103=1&ns104=1&ns105=1&ns106=1&ns107=1&redirs=1&search=earth&searchx=Search url]". Although the namespace numbers vary on a per-Wiki basis, you can still automate it by parsing the HTML you get from the Special:Search page. Anyway, the bot I'm considering to write would operate on the server side and interact directly with the MediaWiki DB, making it a little more dangerous (it could theoretically frak up the DB if badly written) but allowing many more options to be implemented much easier. Finding all articles in all namespaces containing '<nowiki>[[Earth]]</nowiki>' could by done with a simple SELECT query. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 08:40, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
:::::No. I run the bot off the our server, but they way I run it, I have to be connected for it to run so I know it doesn't mess up the server. Replace I would usually never let it run alone.

==Re:Wiki Designs==
Hello Shane

By chance happended upon your user page here after browsing the Matrix Wikia. Very impressive work here. Are you still offering to help with wiki layouts, and if so, is 'Forgotten Realms' something you would be able to work with? :) Thanks in advance [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/User:Zerak-Tul Zerak] [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Zerak-Tul talk] 21:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

:Shane's reputation led me to ask him to help with the Matrix Wiki in the first place. :) Hopefully he has some time to give some tips. (I'm a Neverwinter Nights/2 fan, and more rabid Matrix fan, adding many articles on that wiki, but don't hold either against me. :) -- [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:01, 19 April 2007 (CDT) ([[User_Talk:Spencerian|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Spencerian|Contrib Skillz]] - [[Special:Editcount/Spencerian|Edit Skillz]])

:That is because we havn't gotten around to installing SVG. :-) Also, I don't know if "Billy Tan" can be considered "Crew" and for that matter part of the RDM universe (category).

== Bot work ==

Could you run the bot to do:
<nowiki>[[Thirteenth Tribe --> [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)
[[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)]] --> [[Thirteenth Tribe]]</nowiki>
Or something of that sort (like you did with the Earth thingy)? Also, have you already discovered if it's possible to replace the [[Earth]] links for the other namespaces? TIA --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:27, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

It's still [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Earth|not]] [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Thirteenth Tribe|done]] yet... --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 16:49, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

::Look [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Thirteenth Tribe|here]] again. Most of these things are most definitely in the main namespace.

== Deletion question ==

Hey. I checked out your comment to [[User talk:Mudflap|Mudflap]] on the article you deleted, "Number Thirteen". You might have jumped on the contributor a bit too hard. While it wasn't a particularly funny page, the contributor was trying to make a silly page (he added a category for it instead of trying to use the {{tl|sillypage}} tag). I'm going to amend your reasoning on that article by adding a comment myself about the still-justified rationale for deleting the article based on Silly Page policy rather than an attempt at patent nonsense or unsourced speculation. FYI. -- [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:56, 4 May 2007 (CDT) ([[User_Talk:Spencerian|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Spencerian|Contrib Skillz]] - [[Special:Editcount/Spencerian|Edit Skillz]])

== MediaWiki API ==

I noticed you were working on (or are supposed to be working on) some bots for this wiki. In that case you may be interested in the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/API new MediaWiki API], which is still WIP, but will make bot programming a lot easier. I, personally, will wait a few months for the MediaWiki folks to complete their API before I take a plunge in bot coding (no state-changing actions have been implemented yet, only some query features). FYI --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 14:56, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

== WP FBI edits? ==
Are you still looking for copy-edits to your FBI page? It's a very cool article. I'll take a crack at it this evening. I'm a little new to wiki-editing, so please let me know if overstep.
--[[User:Patricia|Patricia]] 00:59, 19 May 2007 (CDT)
:Yes! No one else has gotten to it and I been trying to get the article FA status forever! [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 02:14, 19 May 2007 (CDT)
::Made a number of edits. Tried to do them in chunks in case you don't agree with all of them. I think the "Criticism" section could use some cleaning up -- it seems disjointed and information does not appear to be prioritized (I'm guessing pieces were written at different times by different people) -- but that's probably better done by someone with more content knowledge than myself. I'm not very familiar with the FA process, but let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Good luck! --[[User:Patricia|Patricia]] 03:21, 19 May 2007 (CDT)

== Bot work ==

Could you run the bot to do:
<nowiki>[[Thirteenth Tribe --> [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)
[[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)]] --> [[Thirteenth Tribe]]</nowiki>
Or something of that sort (like you did with the Earth thingy)? Also, have you already discovered if it's possible to replace the [[Earth]] links for the other namespaces?

== Deletion question ==

Hey. I checked out your comment to [[User talk:Mudflap|Mudflap]] on the article you deleted, "Number Thirteen". You might have jumped on the contributor a bit too hard. While it wasn't a particularly funny page, the contributor was trying to make a silly page (he added a category for it instead of trying to use the {{tl|sillypage}} tag). I'm going to amend your reasoning on that article by adding a comment myself about the still-justified rationale for deleting the article based on Silly Page policy rather than an attempt at patent nonsense or unsourced speculation. FYI. -- [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:56, 4 May 2007 (CDT) ([[User_Talk:Spencerian|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Spencerian|Contrib Skillz]] - [[Special:Editcount/Spencerian|Edit Skillz]])

== MediaWiki API ==

I noticed you were working on (or are supposed to be working on) some bots for this wiki. In that case you may be interested in the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/API new MediaWiki API], which is still WIP, but will make bot programming a lot easier. I, personally, will wait a few months for the MediaWiki folks to complete their API before I take a plunge in bot coding (no state-changing actions have been implemented yet, only some query features). FYI --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 14:56, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

== WP FBI edits? ==
Are you still looking for copy-edits to your FBI page? It's a very cool article. I'll take a crack at it this evening. I'm a little new to wiki-editing, so please let me know if overstep.
--[[User:Patricia|Patricia]] 00:59, 19 May 2007 (CDT)
:Yes! No one else has gotten to it and I been trying to get the article FA status forever! [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 02:14, 19 May 2007 (CDT)
:Made a number of edits. Tried to do them in chunks in case you don't agree with all of them. I think the "Criticism" section could use some cleaning up -- it seems disjointed and information does not appear to be prioritized (I'm guessing pieces were written at different times by different people) -- but that's probably better done by someone with more content knowledge than myself. I'm not very familiar with the FA process, but let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Good luck! --[[User:Patricia|Patricia]] 03:21, 19 May 2007 (CDT)
