Disputatio Usoris:Candalua

Hello Candalua, more interwiki language link bots are definitely welcome and occasional interwiki bots don't necessarily need a flag on every project; but you should be aware that on most projects running a bot through a non-bot account is prohibited. I think I saw that you had a bot on vec, why don't you use that for interwiki language edits here?--Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 21:02, 25 Februarii 2011 (UTC)

You just said it: because it's just occasional, I'm not planning to ask for flags, and so I prefer to use the same account for my occasional edit by hand and by bot. Honestly I don't see the difference... in the end, it's always me doing the job! ;-) But if you insist... Candalua 00:06, 26 Februarii 2011 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't say that I insist. I just know that some wikis (en for example) have supposedly strict rules about it and the standard policy says it. There are no written policies here about anything. ;-) --Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 08:19, 26 Februarii 2011 (UTC)

• I notice you've been doing a lot with your bot lately. Why don't you ask for a flag? Just post a request on Scriptorium. I'm glad you are doing this because I'm not sure not getting around to it.--Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 22:10, 7 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

A lot? Only 50 edits today, and the last time I've run it was 5 months ago! :-) Anyway, I'm not comfortable with running it with the flag: interwikies on Wikisource are often used in non-standard ways, such as putting multiple interwikies to the same language, or using cross-namespace interwikies because not all subdomains have activated the Author namespace... there were some problems in the past, and I cannot guarantee that it will always work properly. So I prefer to run it without flag, so that malfunctions will be easier to be detected. Candalua 22:22, 7 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

That's fine. It seemed like you ran it a bunch at once. Seemed like more but I guess you're right now that I look at the contributions. Yes, I know that they are strange sometimes, that's mostly why I stopped trying. Author space is a good place to work though.--Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 22:25, 7 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

Formula lwtrans

Hello Candalua, I saw you created this new template here and on fr. - what is the difference between this template and iwpages, if there is any ? Thank you for your impressive work on interwiki works :) --Hsarrazin 17:07, 27 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

Iwpages takes pages from the Page namespace, Iwtrans takes them from main namespace. I discovered its existence just a couple of days ago! :-) Candalua 17:09, 27 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

OK, I'll try to document that series of templates in French - thank you :) --Hsarrazin 17:11, 27 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

BTW, that's a much better name for it. On 'en' and 'old' it's called iwpages which is confusingly close to the other one. Though, technically it's best to import the templates in order to show the edit history, since they contain original creative content contributed under the CC-BY-SA / GFDL. --Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 10:46, 29 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

No, from what I understand it seems to be like this:

• Iwpage: take 1 page from Page:
• Iwpages: take 1 or more pages from Page:
• IwpageSection: take 1 section of a page from Page:
• Iwtrans: take 1 page from ns0

You're right about import, I'll try to remember next time Candalua 10:52, 29 Augusti 2011 (UTC)

Bot flag?

Now that you've requested and been flagged on en.ws, can we flag you on here as well?--Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 11:57, 17 Octobris 2011 (UTC)

Yes, if the community wants to... I'm not asking for the flag in small subdomains, because in many of them the edits are few and it could be preferable to keep seeing them. Feel free to operate both ways. Candalua 12:42, 17 Octobris 2011 (UTC)

Perfectum est. per Vicifons:Scriptorium#Flag for CandalBot.--Doug.^{(Disputatio • Conlationes)} 12:45, 19 Novembris 2011 (UTC)

Chiesto il flag bot

Ho chiesto un flag bot in Scriptorium, come immagini l'idea è di usarlo per lavoretti ad hoc, principalmente per le opere bilingui it/la. Spero di non aver fatto la solita confusione..... --Alex brollo (disputatio) 23:41, 22 Maii 2012 (UTC)
