Now that we actually have access to the wiki on a basic level, I'm been investigating how to automate tasks here around the wiki. Stuff like updating the list of games, manipulating categories, on and on could be done wiki-wide with a script. We could potentially even kill spambots with it (or at least flag them to make clean up easier). There are all kinds of things we could do. Now obviously, I'm an artist, not a programmer, so my contributions to this are limited. But I can learn things quickly. Anyway, I think this could go a long way to help us save a ton of time in large scale modifications, and let us do things like updating game lists more often. For reference, here are some bots and scripts I found while looking around: [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Bots/Status|Bot Status]] - [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:List of bots by number of edits|Bot list sorted by edits]] - [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts|User Scripts List]] - [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Tutorial|User Scripts Tutorial]]. | |||
Delroth and the devs brought this up, cause well, they are too lazy to do manual edits :P. Our needs would probably be better served by scripts than bots, but, having stuff done automatically might be nice sometimes. So, what do you guys think? Do you want bots and scripts, and if so, what would you want them for? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 14:51, 14 December 2012 (CET) | |||

Uh, your changes are breaking a few things. I'll just show you. Any time I make an edit, I get stuff like this: [[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]]. The stuff in the genre area is added as categories, except that area doesn't follow the category conventions. The only solution is to remove the existing categories and modify the genres area to fit the conventions. Of course, the vast majority of game articles' genre areas don't follow those category conventions... - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 05:54, 1 December 2012 (CET) | Uh, your changes are breaking a few things.
