El robot de edición de Wikipedia dirigido por Andre Engels

Robbot is a bot, but with user interaction. It was written by Rob Hooft, and is on en: operated by Andre Engels. It is being used for resolving Disambiguation problems more quickly than would be possible by hand. It is also being used for Interwiki links. The same code is also being used by Wikibot, operated by Alexandros.

Disambiguation

The working of the robot is thus:

1. The robot loads (the edit page of) a page, chosen by the operator, and looks which links exist on that page. It provides them to the operator in a list, with a number for each link. In general, this page will be a disambiguation page.
2. The robot loads the page with pages that link to that page
3. The robot goes over these pages, loads their edit page, and for each of them, shows me the title of the page and the text (original wiki source) of about 60 signs in an area before and after the link.
4. The operator chooses and types in one of the numbers of the list, or one of a number of auxiliary actions (end the session, show more context before making a decision, do nothing, show the list again, give another option)
5. The robot changes the link on the page into a similar link, piped to the page that the operator has chosen.

On the User talk page is an example.

Interwiki

For the interwiki-links, the bot does the following:

1. The robot loads (the edit page of) the English page.
2. It checks all interwikilinks on that page, and saves them. Possibly it also gets additional ideas for interwikilinks from the operator
3. It checks those pages, the pages those pages redirect to, the pages that those pages have interwikilinks to, etcetera, and remembers all of those that actually exist (and are not redirects)
4. If it did not find the same language twice, depending on the settings, it changes the page, or first asks the operator for permission to change the page.
5. Si encuentra el mismo idioma dos veces, dependiendo de la configuración, no hace nada o le pide al operador que elija entre las distintas opciones.

Código abierto

El código de Robbot está abierto y disponible en SourceForge. Cualquiera que esté interesado en ver, modificar o ejecutar el bot puede encontrarlo en SourceForge. Sin embargo, antes de usarlo, es bueno consultar aquí, contactar a Rob Hooft y/o a otros desarrolladores y suscribirse a la lista de correo del proyecto, así como pedir permiso a la población del proyecto MediaWiki donde lo estás ejecutando.

Derechos de autor

Me han pedido que coloque el trabajo de Robbot bajo una licencia dual o que lo ponga en el dominio público. No creo que vaya a hacerlo, porque en mi opinión, las ediciones de Robbot tienen un contenido tan mínimo que, de todos modos, no están sujetas a derechos de autor. Siéntete libre de usar el material de la forma que quieras, siempre que el editor anterior del mismo texto esté de acuerdo. ak:User:Robbot
