Synchbot

Part of wikimedia-contrib
report a bug or suggestion

  • Screenshot of Synchbot's terminal.

Synchbot synchronises user pages across Wikimedia projects in every language. This allows users to create user pages on every wiki, or to have global JavaScript and CSS (see an example global.js and a local common.js importing it). Users may place a request below; previous requests are archived.

The bot is operated by Pathoschild and Quentinv57.

Contents

Instructions [edit]

Before requesting, you must:

Global page edits [edit]

Place this template at the bottom of the Request global page edits section:

===[[User:USERNAME|]]===
{{/Request
 |username      = 
 |action        = replace
 |title         = 
 |text          = 
 |skip wikis    = 
 |skip existing = no
 |status        =
}}~~~~
  • Change USERNAME in the first line to your username, and fill in the template values:
username
Your user account name.
action
What you want the bot to do:
  • replace the existing text with the new text,
  • prepend (insert the new text at the top of the page),
  • append (insert the new text at the bottom of the page),
  • or delete the page.
title
The title of the page you want edited on every wiki. The recommended values are "User:username" for global user pages, "User:username/common.js" for global JavaScript, or "User:username/common.css" for global CSS.
text
The text you want placed on the edited pages.
  • For a user page, use something simple and informative. Don't include categories or templates, because they probably don't exist on most wikis. Prefix all interwiki links with "m:" so they will work on all wikis (for example, use [[m:w:fr:Article]] instead of [[w:fr:Article]]). Most people provide a few sentences about themselves with a link to their main user page.
  • For global JavaScript, use mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:username/global.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
  • For global CSS, use @import "//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:username/global.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css";
(The URLs above are protocol-relative: they will use either https or http, as appropriate.)
skip wikis
A list of wikis to skip. (The bot will automatically skip wikis where you don't have an account, and the English Wikinews by request.) You can use a wildcard, like pt.* to skip all Portuguese wikis.
skip existing
Whether to skip pages that already exist.

Global settings change [edit]

Place this template at the bottom of the Request global settings change section:

===[[User:USERNAME|]]===
{{/Request-settings
 |username      = 
 |set language  =
 |set skin      =
 |set signature =
 |set timezone  =
 |check boxes   =
 |uncheck boxes =
 |skip wikis    = 
 |status        =
}}~~~~

Dialog-warning.svg Please consider that the script changing settings globally is not stable yet. Some settings can be accidentally erased on wikis you did not skip. So it would be best to skip each wiki where you have some preferences that you don't want to lose, and to report it here if the bot does something wrong.
Projects where accounts do not exist will be auto-created by default (if you don't want to just leave a note).

username
Your user account name.
set setting
It will change the language to the defined value. If empty or not defined, the setting won't be changed.
A summary of the settings that can be changed is in the table below. But theoretically, all settings that can be changed through Special:Preferences can be changed here. More generally, every action that you can perform can be performed by the bot (for example adding a page to the watchlist, etc.). So feel free to ask if you want to change something that was never requested.
check / uncheck boxes
Please provide a list (with *) of checkboxes you want to be checked/unchecked. If empty or not defined, the setting won't be changed. Checkboxes that are not specified in any of these two lists will remain like they were before.
skip wikis
A list of wikis to skip. (The bot will automatically skip wikis where you don't have an account, and the English Wikinews by request.) You can use a wildcard, like pt.* to skip all Portuguese wikis.
Summary of user settings that can be changed by this script
Command Type Example
language lang code en
skin defined skin monobook
signature text [[User:Quentinv57|Quentinv57]]
timezone defined Tz Africa/Brazzaville
check boxes list
  • Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist (requires JavaScript)
  • Search in all namespaces
uncheck boxes list
  • Do not show page content below diffs

Hello Justincheng12345. I changed your request so the links will always point to your Wikipedia talk page, and tweaked the grammar. Also note that the article links will break on most wikis (especially non-Wikipedia wikis). Are these changes okay? —Pathoschild 00:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

FAQ [edit]

Which wikis are edited? [edit]

The bot edits open content wikis in every language where your account is registered (but not specialized wikis like wikimediafoundation.org or test wikis). The following wikis have special exceptions:

wikis edits deletions  
ar.wikipedia okay skipped by request
en.wikinews skipped skipped pending request for permission
fr.wiktionary okay skipped by request
mr.wikipedia skipped okay restricted by filter

Can the bot delete pages? [edit]

The bot can delete your CSS and JavaScript subpages, but not your primary user or talk pages due to policy on several wikis.
