Bot panginget global

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This page is a translated version of the page Global reminder bot and the translation is 9% complete.

This is a service (by Leaderbot) that reminds users when their rights are to expire, based on phab:T370842. This is opt-out for wikis that do not have a bot policy procedure or do not require explicit approval and opt-in otherwise. For more details, see the Technical details page.

  • The service will remind users once (and only once) when their rights are due to expire in a week's time or less. This may be tweaked later on.
  • The service will deliver the message to the user's talk page on the affected wiki. Depending on the user's settings, this can also imply a ping and email as well.
  • To exclude a user from this service, go to Exclusion. This bot does not respect any other form of opt-out preference and is not exclusion-compliant.
  • Default configuration files are stored in /global (this also includes data for global rights).
  • Local (i.e, for a certain wiki) configuration files are stored as a subpage by database name. For enwiki, this would be /enwiki and /frwiki for frwiki; the full list is here. Should an opt-in wiki not have a local configuration file, the global details will be used.
  • The internal database is at /database and should normally not be modified.
  • Anyone with "WMF" as part of their username is automatically excluded.
  • To translate the messages delivered by the service, see the translation instructions.
  • The source code of this bot is available.
