User:MaintenanceBot automatically adds missing details to pages. To activate it, simply create a page with an SMWObject. For maximum effect, add a Wikipedia parameter to point it to the corresponding Wikipedia page.
Contents
Object class
All Wikispooks pages must have an SMWObject. This requirement is fundamental for the MaintenanceBot to upgrade your page. The most common object type is person, in which case write:
- {{Person}}
For a listof all possible objects, see SMWObject.
Wikipedia parameter
MaintenanceBot cannot improve pages much unless they also have a |Wikipedia parameter (which may be abbreviated to "|WP").
Foreign Wikipediae
The Wikispooks working language is English, and almost all the Wikipedia links are to en.wikipedia.org. Obscure foreigners may have no English Wikipedia page, but have a page in their native language. In this case, choosing a foreign Wikipedia page (for example de.wikipedia.org) is acceptable. MaintenanceBot can scrape non-English pages, but with reduced effectiveness.
Tagged URLs
Sometimes, Wikipedia has no page, but does have a (sub-)section. In this case, a hashtagged URL should be used ("...wiki/page#section") but maintenance bot does not not use this for scraping.
Further ideas, Mistakes?
MaintenanceBot does make mistakes. Please report these, together with ideas on the discussion page.
