SilvonenBot
Operator: Silvonen (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic, supervised or unsupervised (started manually, assisted when automatic linking is not possible)

Programming Language(s): Python (pywikipedia)

Function Summary: Add interwiki links, usually starting from the Finnish Wikipedia.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Daily or weekly

Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: The linking between the Finnish and English Wikipedias is not always in a good shape: especially the links from English to Finnish category pages are often missing, although there are links in the other direction. I am planning to improve the linking by running interwiki.py (with the -autonomous option when possible), usually starting from Finnish. I have also requested a bot status on the Finnish Wikipedia.

Discussion
SilvonenBot now has the bot flag on the Finnish Wikipedia. --Silvonen (talk) 03:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

On second thoughts, I would also like to run the bot without supervision, although I do review the logs periodically for any obvious mistakes that should be corrected manually. Sorry for changing the request on the fly: this is my first bot... --Silvonen (talk) 09:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I can't see any problems as you're using interwiki.py, but could you do a 250 edit trail please?  Martinp23 00:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks! I will let the bot go through one of my warnfiles (2 edits per minute). For the record, SilvonenBot now has the bot flag in da, et, fi, is, nn and sv.--Silvonen (talk) 04:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have now made 250 edits. I noticed one incorrect edit among them (Jenny McCarthy → ang:Amy McCarthy), but it wasn't the bot's mistake. --Silvonen (talk) 19:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Do you have any comments on the test run? I would like to get rid of my growing collection of English warnfiles... --Silvonen (talk) 09:40, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


 * PS. I would mainly run the bot at the rate of 2 edits per minute, as I now seem to have a trial run in at least one language every week (cf. the list of languages)... --Silvonen (talk) 18:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks good to me. I would suggest approval. SQL Query me!  09:33, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
