Project:Bots/de

Bots sind automatisierte oder halbautomatisierte Prozesse, die Seiten mit reduzierter oder ohne menschliche Kontrolle bearbeiten. Da Bots die Server-Ressourcen belasten oder versehentlich das Projekt stören können, müssen Bots spezielle Richtlinien und Leitfäden befolgen. Außerdem können Bots absichtlich genutzt werden, um sehr schnell großen Schaden anzurichten, weshalb Bots, die ohne Erlaubnis (ein Bot-"Flag") sehr schnell Bearbeitungen tätigen oder fragwürdige Bearbeitungen vornehmen, sofort gesperrt werden. Es ist nicht erlaubt, einen Bot auf einem normalen (menschlichen) Konto laufen zu lassen, ein Bot muss ein eigenes Benutzerkonto haben, das grundsätzlich das Wort "Bot" im Namen haben und idealerweise eine Verbindung zum Betreiber herstellen sollte (z.B. User:RobBot betrieben von User:Robchurch). MediaWiki.org folgt grundsätzlich der Richtlinie auf Meta; da es sich jedoch um ein Entwicklungsprojekt handelt, sind Vertrauenswürdigkeit und Erfahrung der Benutzer von größter Wichtigkeit und es ist wenig bis keine Diskussion für die Erteilung oder den Entzug eines Bot-Flags erforderlich. Aus Sicherheitsgründen kann inaktiven Bots das Flag entzogen werden, da das Flag lediglich anzeigen soll, dass ein Bot für genehmigte Aufgaben in relativ hoher Geschwindigkeit Bearbeitungen tätigen darf. Da dies ein Entwicklerprojekt ist, gelten die normalen Regeln für Bots aus anderen WMF-Projekten hier nicht, insbesondere nicht für Entwickler.

Es gibt zwar einige Anwendungen für Bots auf mediawiki.org, dies ist jedoch nicht vergleichbar mit WMF-Projekten, die auf Inhalten der Gemeinschaft basieren, wie Wikipedia. Bitte stelle eine Anfrage auf Project:Requests, wenn du auf MediaWiki.org einen Bot laufen lassen möchtest. Du kannst auch einen Bürokraten auf seiner Diskussionsseite oder im IRC ansprechen, Anfragen von neuen, unerfahrenen oder unbekannten Benutzern werden jedoch grundsätzlich abgelehnt.

Registrierte Bots
Eine Liste aller genehmigten Bots (mit "Flag") findet sich hier: Special:Listusers/bot. Beachte, dass "MediaWiki default" ein interner Account der MediaWiki-Software ist, der genutzt wird, wenn aufgrund einer Installation oder eines Aktualisierungsprozesses inhaltliche Änderungen erfolgen. Es ist kein echter Bot und er kann nicht gesperrt werden (obwohl das Konto angeblich in einigen Projekten gesperrt wurde, da es sich um einen inaktiven oder nicht genehmigten Bot handeln würde. Dies sollte jedoch keine Auswirkungen haben). Beachte auch, dass das Bot-Flag gelegentlich auch als Fluter-Flag von Entwicklern und anderen sehr vertrauenswürdigen Benutzern genutzt werden kann.

Inaktive Bots
'' Bot inactivity may not mean the bot is not needed, bots belonging to trusted and active users may be inactive for extended periods of time. This list only includes bots that are or were flagged. Bots active elsewhere on Wikimedia Foundation Projects may have SUL accounts on mw.org but may have never edited. ''
 * RobBot - Operator: Rob Church. Flagged by the operator on 25 April 2006.
 * RobBot was created and flagged in preparation for performing various bot tasks during the revival of MediaWiki.org as a feasible documentation alternative to Meta, although no tasks were ever devised for it and no code was thus written; it never performed automated edits. robchurch | talk 11:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Inactive since 16 July 2007. Operator inactive since 4 March 2008.
 * FearowBot - Operator: TheFearow - Apparently an interwiki bot. Flagged on 15 July 2007, removed on 18 July 2007 for malfunctioning, reflagged on 24 July 2007.
 * Inactive since 15 July 2007 (less than 8 hours after getting the flag the first time). Operator inactive since 19 October 2008.
 * DuesenBot - Operator: Duesentrieb - Automatic updates to the Extension Matrix. Flagged on 6 March 2007.
 * Broken. :(
 * Inactive since 11 June 2008
 * Diego Grez Bot - Operated by a user who has since vanished. Apparently for language tags and language categories. Flagged on 7 July 2010
 * Inactive since 13 July 2010 (6 days after being flagged)
 * ExtensionListBot - Operator: Benjamin_Garn - Update the AutoExtensionList, an interim measure while the Extension_Matrix was unmaintained due to a broken bot.
 * Inactive since 2 March 2009. Operator inactive since 12 April 2011.
 * MiszaBot - an archive bot, see w:User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. Operator is Misza13, but user is inactive on all projects, so malfunctions may require a replacement bot. Flagged 27 May 2009.
 * Bot dead.
 * MyBot - Operator : IAlex, Flagged on 8 September 2010
 * Inactive since 16 June 2015
 * KrenairBot - Operator : Krenair, Flagged on 6 May 2012

 * DougBot - Operator : Doug, Flagged on 5 December 2011
 * Inactive since 11 December 2011
 * Translation Notification Bot - Bot not working since 23 November 2018, so notifications probably don't work. Please ask question on T144780 ticket on phabricator. As of June 2020, this task is now performed by User:MediaWiki message delivery.

Bot flag as a flood flag
 Analogous to m:Meta:Flood_flag, these are restricted to developers and other highly trusted users who have a real need for them, these are not bots 
 * Peachey88 (Flood), an alternate account of Peachey88, has a bot flag to avoid flooding the recent changes log. Apparently mainly for LQT maintenance tasks, this is a human account with a bot flag because of the frequency it edits. Flagged on 14 May 2011.

Requests for bot jobs
Here are some things that it would be useful to set up a bot to deal with. If adding to this list then please include your signature so that any potential bot writers can contact you for more info if needed:

Requests for ongoing bot jobs

 * A bot that checks all links from this site to meta (both using the meta: interwiki prefix, and by full URL ), and if that page is a redirect to MW.org replaces the external link with the correct internal one. Ideally (though it's not a requirement) the bot should follow redirects if the meta redirect is out of date.  Even more ideally, it would fix meta to skip the redirect too, but perhaps that is too much to ask of a single bot. --HappyDog 19:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * A bot that checks through all pages that contain Template:SettingSummary and updates Manual:Configuration settings and Manual:Configuration settings (alphabetical). This is probably not quite possible at the moment, due to extra info on the page that shouldn't be lost by an update.  If there is someone interested in writing this bot then we will need to do a bit of a clean-up first, I think. A simple version of the bot would extract the 'summary' field from the individual pages and update the main page with the correct summary. --HappyDog 19:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * A bot that checks categories of non-English pages (which you can tell by the sub-page part), and if the page is categorised into the English category tree, to fix the category link so it points to the same place in the appropriate language tree (, where cc is the country code. Or more generally, if it is in the wrong category tree, fix it (as translations may not always come from the English original). --HappyDog 22:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This is being done as part of the migration to Translate extension. --Nemo 05:12, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Requests for one off bot jobs

 * Add  to ~200 template transclusions
 * The historical template had translation markup added, and now breaks in ~200 pages. Fixing it, just requires adding  like this diff for example. Would this be a reasonable bot job? Thanks! (Possibly there are additional now-translatable-templates, which need the same fix? I'm not sure. List 'em if you've got 'em.) Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 21:57, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Replace raw tabbed window markup with templates
 * Special:Search/insource:mw-gadget-tabbedwindow lists the pages which use raw HTML instead of the dedicated templates TabbedWindowBegin and TabbedWindowEnd; they should be updated to use the template, both for self-documentation and to make it easier to improve the tabbed window interface in the future. Typically these are dedicated subpages using the same pattern so it would involve replacing the first two lines and the last line of the page (but I haven't reviewed if every single page follows the same pattern). Thanks! --Tgr (talk) 02:33, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Bot permission request archive

 * ExtensionListBot - Operator: Benjamin Garn - This bot will update the AutoExtensionList until the Extension Matrix-Bot is working again.
 * Bot flag granted. i Alex  10:10, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * User:TisaneBot &mdash; As a one-off task, create redirects from mainspace to Manual: space for all configuration settings and all hooks. As an ongoing task, fulfill HappyDog's third bot request above. Also, the bot will fix double redirects. Tisane 03:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This request was apparently overlooked because it was originally placed in the section above for ongoing bot jobs. This page was confusing as it wasn't clear whether the prior sections were for requested bot jobs or for requesting bot flags.  The request is more than one year old so I'm closing it as not acted on and it should be reopened at Project:Requests if the operator still wants to run this bot.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 12:27, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
