Werdna
 | Welcome to my talk page. I'm currently on indefinite wikibreak. I'll be editing actively on Wiktionary and other projects. If you need to contact me, you're best off emailing me. Werdnabot will continue to run, and I will check this talk page every now and then to make sure it's running okay. Any urgent problems can be solved by blocking the bot. — Werdna talk criticism 04:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC) |
Werdnabot on Huwiki
Hi! I'm Dami talk from the Hungarian Wikipedia, where we don't have any automated solution for archiving. Recently I suggested there that we should have one, and I would like to ask your help to set up a clone of your bot on huwiki. If you would be willing to help, could you please provide the source code for Werdnabot or open an account on the Hungarian WP. Either way your help would be much apreciated. Please answer me on my Hungarian talk page--Dami 17:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hi! Thanks for your answer (it was especially pleasing that you translated it, though it was really uneccesary). I'll be glad to localise the interface, and maybe a basic help (I am short a bit on free time...). After that if I announce it on the local Village Pump I think your services would be much apreciated. I don't know if you have any other projects, but if you think any of them would be beneficial to other WP communities I would be glad to help in localising them. Please answer me on my Hungarian talk page--Dami 20:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hi! Thanks, I'll start working on the translations, and hope to finish them by the end of this week. Meanwhile could you give an explanation to [1]'s function (I'm not totally at home with regex, but if I know what it does, I can ask somebody to localise it), and also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Werdnabot/Interface/Boilerplate and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Werdnabot/Archiver/Linkhere seem to be empty pages ::(.--Dami 16:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi again! I see now that the linkhere has text in its source.
- I'd like to ask you, what is the functions of the Months page, and the abbreviations there, where do they appear?
- --Dami 18:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. I finished translating the pages you sent me, (they're linked to from here: [2]). I didn't translate the boilerplate as the link you gave is to an empty page :(, and also I didn't translate the Timestampsregex, because I think it can be left in English until I see where does it come up.
- All that being said, I would like to start working on translating the templates at the top of the userpage (hopefully without breaking your bot's template detection...) and if there are any other help pages about the stuff like <!--werdnabot-noarchive-->, and what to do with unsigned comments etc. And thanks again for the work you put into the internationalisation of your bot --Dami 18:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- The only thing that can't be translated is the tags starting with . The rest can be translated. As for the timestampregex, this is a Regular expression for the way timestamps are shown on your wiki.
Hi! I sent you an e-mail, and repeat it here in case you didn't get it: I'm complete with the translation, they are here : [3] , (in the right column), they just need to be moved or copied to the right place. Regards--Dami 21:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Werdnabot rampage
Sorry to bear bad news. This probably wasn't what it was supposed to do: [4] Notinasnaid 15:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- I just turned up here to report that exact same diff! I don't think it was an edit conflict this time; the bot's archiving posts that are well within the cutoff (3 days at present on the Help Desk). --ais523 15:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Blocked
I just blocked Werdnabot for an hour, since it seemed faster than figuring out what was going on with it and whether whatever it's doing had been fixed. It did the wrong thing on my talk page [5] and (from a brief look at other pages) it looks like i'm not the only one. -- SCZenz 15:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- It runs archive jobs at regular intervals, so if it starts up again and it's still not fixed, block it indefinitely until Werdna fixes it – Gurch 15:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'll indef block it anyway if I don't hear from Werdna that it's fixed within the hour. Better safe than sorry. -- SCZenz 15:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Your bot has malfunctioned
It just archived 14 sections on my talk page (basically everything that was on there). Only 2 of those sections should actually have been archived. Diff is here. It has been blocked (not by me) – Gurch 15:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
