User:Hoo man/Synchbot

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Synchbot edits pages on every editable Wikimedia wiki, except some special wikis. It is primarily meant to give users global user and talk pages as well as global Javascript and CSS. Users may place a request below.

I will sync user and user talk pages using my bot, Tanvir will sync the JS and CSS pages (my bot can't do that because it hasn't got enough rights to modify user scripts).

This script we both use is fully self built and does only use my own wiki framework (and not eg. pywikipedia).

[edit] Instructions

Before requesting, you must:

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

=== [[User:USERNAME|]] ===
{{User:Pathoschild/Scripts/Synchbot/request
 | username   = 
 | title      = 
 | text       = 
 | skip_wikis = 
 | existing   = overwrite
 | notes      = 
}}~~~~
  • Change USERNAME in the first line to your username, and fill in the template values:
username
Your user account name.
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.
existing
What the bot should do with pages that already exist:
  • overwrite (replace the existing page with the new text),
  • skip (do nothing to the page)
notes
Any particular instructions or comments you want to add.
