Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Bots and gadgets/A more performant bot to replace ListeriaBot/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: Since the release of ListeriaBot version 2, there is a problem with lists with many links to big entities (for example, links to countries), which make the list generation fail. See some previous discussions: 1, 2. The issue is reported in the official repository: magnusmanske/listeria_rs#66
  • Proposed solution: Create a new, more performant bot or fix the memory issues with ListeriaBot. An enhanced version of ListeriaBot, one that can carry us into the 2030s.
  • Who would benefit: ListeriaBot is used to automatically maintain lists of Wikidata items in various Wikipedias. It is used intensively by Women in Red in various languages, as well as other projects (3,204 lists in English, 1,152 in French).
  • More comments: A similar proposal by MarioGom was merged into this one.
