User:JAnDbot
Please, give the bot flag to this bot. It is used for adding interwiki links with start on cs:Wikipedista:JAnD. This bot has this flag on cs, is based on pywikipedia. All requested details are on it's userpage. Thanks, JAn Dudík 19:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * For reference, the userpage contains the following content: "This is unregistered manual controlled interwiki bot for years, days, cities and names (things, what are similar or mostly similar in different languages. Bot is controlled by JAn". I'm not really familiar with the approvals of interwiki linking bots, but you're not really giving us that much info about the bot. Can you provide some more clarification? alpha Chimp  laudare 20:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Which details?


 * Bot's platform: pywikipedia, interwiki.py
 * Periodicity: always manual started on cs:, usually for one category or 10-20 pages.
 * There are many missing articles about czech towns on cs:, which have their article on en:. There is also many articles about years, where is on cs only link to en: but not backlink from en: or other languages.
 * My usual contribution on en is adding cs:. When do it I, why con't do it bot?

 * Your bot appears to be doing a lot of removals of interwiki links, what criteria is used for that? —  xaosflux  Talk 13:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It seems to only be removing Japanese interwiki links. All of them are dead anyway. Maybe when it follows all the interwikis and automatically removes a link when it finds a blank page. Is that what it does Jan? alpha Chimp  laudare 14:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks to be removing live links to, I don't read the other languages though, so can't tell what it is delinking. —  xaosflux  Talk 14:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find any removals of live ones. Everyone was seemed like the generic "Create a Page" wikipedia page (like you see here). Of course, I can't read Japanese, so I just assume the page meant what I thought it did. alpha Chimp  laudare 14:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, you are right, when bot find dead link, automaticaly removes it.
 * ad1: on fr: is disambiguation, on other langs not
 * ad2: sl: do not exist, others are Town and villages (another category)
 * ad3: there are two gigues, the removed are'nt the same
 * ad4: there are two words: memetics and mem
 * all these changes were human assisted.

 * So, when and if this bot is running, will it be human assisted as it was during your test (in other words, will it be performing the type of removals Xaosflux was asking about above)? alpha Chimp  laudare 15:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Interwiki bot can be running automatically, so when find two links for one page it will do nothing, when find non existing link he will add new links, in both cases write it to log on owners computer.
 * When is running with assisting, he asks every time when found more links to any languages which is the correct, and before removing link asks too.

 * Thanks for the replies, one week trial approved, please post difs and any comments here during run/when complete. —  xaosflux  Talk 00:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Week is over, can you please unblock, rename ('JAnDbot) and flag this bot? Or may I wait for some more time? JAn Dudík 21:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like your trial was unable to be completed due to your block, I've left a message for the blocking admin to check on the status. —  xaosflux  Talk 00:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Your bot has been unblocked, see the note on it's talk page. Trial period restarted. —  xaosflux  Talk 00:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Pending operator response, will also need to change username to somethingbot. —  xaosflux  Talk 15:22, 19 August 2006 (UTC) (will be moved to expired in 1 week if no response)


 * I added request for renaming, but they won't rename, because of bot in username :-) JAn Dudík 21:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * D'oh! I've just commented on your rename request, and pinged Redux's talk page to re-review it. —  xaosflux  Talk 02:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've carried out the request. If this had been linked in the original request, it would have been done earlier. Special circumstances always must be mentioned in the request. It is quite common for us to get requests that the instructions and the relevant project pages explain cannot be granted. Cheers, Redux 03:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

So bot is renamed, it can be flagged, can't? JAn Dudík 05:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Everything looks good, bot APPROVED, until your flag is set please keep edits down to 3/min or less. —  xaosflux  Talk 12:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Flag was set by Redux
