User:MaintenanceBot
The maintenance bot automatically adds missing details to pages. To activate it, simply create a page with an SMWObject and Wikipedia parameter.
Contents
Object class
All Wikispooks pages must have an SMWObject. If the pages describes a person, the apporpriate object to use is:
- {{Person}}
For the entire list, see SMWObject.
Wikipedia parameter
MaintenanceBot cannot improve pages, 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 cannot not use this for scraping.
