IdefixBot: Interwiki
Does your bot changes interwikis without your input at all?

And, how does it select random mainspace pages? The namespace parameter doesn't work to me.

 * Also, how does it work automatically? --  Naista2002 ᐸ Talk Contribs  14:58, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I am no longer using Pywikibot, I wrote my bot in Java because there was not enough interesting features in Pywikibot and because my bot is not only working on interwiki links on the French wiki (and because I like programming ^^).


 * But I think that I was using autonomous and random:100 parameters. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 15:12, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you written API to write, login and edit wiki pages through base MediaWiki API yourself or used a ready one (e.g WikiLink, Java Wiki Bot Framework, Wiki.java etc.)? dand0 (talk) 16:33, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I am using JWBF (except for deletion and move logs). • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 16:42, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks (again)! Also, does "Except" mean that you use your own scripts for deletetion and move logs? dand0 (talk) 16:49, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Likely, yes. --  Naista2002 ᐸ Talk Contribs  16:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I had problems with JWBF, so I wrote scripts to read logs with api.php. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 16:57, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, anyway! I'm so glad that I will be programming again! --dand0 (talk) 17:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

My bot
Can you set a bot flag on my bot JARVISTheBot? I intend to use it on French wiki to fix interlanguage links. -- Naista2002 ᐸ Talk Contribs  10:38, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not a bureaucrat, try to ask Itouchmasterpro. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 11:24, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Interwikis in translation articles
Please don't fix interwikis in articles that are parts of translation projects. Wikis in other languages don't have them, so having interwikis there is useless. -- Naista2002 ᐸ Talk Contribs  12:34, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, but I don't understand why translation projects can't have links to other languages, why is it useless ? • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 12:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oops, I maybe forgot that we may need to prepare interwikis so that the target wikis have them being up-to-date. But it will mostly matter when the translations are done.
 * Also, please fix your signature: you meant to put  instead of.

 * I removed the color in my signature, it was useless...


 * I think that I will put a priority to articles that are not part of translation projects. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 13:15, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * How it is done? -- <b style=color:purple>Naista2002</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px">Talk Contribs </i> 13:38, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I am not using Pywikibot. I write my bot in Java, with JWBF, so I can do everything I want. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 13:42, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I know, but... Does it exclude translation pages by ignoring the sub-categories of ? -- <b style=color:purple>Naista2002</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px">Talk Contribs </i> 13:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No, it just looks in the title if there is things like "/cz" or "/ro". I made a list of language tags. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 13:56, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

IdefixBot summary translation
The summaries for your bot are not translated according to the wiki.

Suggestion: Add an associative array ("map") with language codes as keys, and translated text as values. They are to be in some constant storage class or something like that.

Example for "Adding" text: public static HashMap<String, String> addingTrans = new HashMap<String, String>(number_of_languages); // ...   public YourClass(arguments) { // ...       addingTrans.put("en", "Adding"); addingTrans.put("fr", "Ajoute"); addingTrans.put("ru", "Добавление"); // ...   }

 * I already made a class for this, but I put only French and English... It is now supposed to speak Russian, I will try to find translations for other languages.


 * Can you just translate "Minor changes around interwiki links" into russian please ? And are "изменил" and "удалил" good translations for "modifying" and "removing" ? • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 21:08, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * «Малые изменения интервики-ссылок». For sentence «Robot modifying/removing xx» they are. dand0 (talk) 03:34, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Or «изменение» for modifying and «удаление» for removing, it is your choice what to use. dand0 (talk) 03:36, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 17:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You did not enabled russian translation for minor changes and it will be better to use the second variant for modifying and removing interwikis. dand0 (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean with "the second variant"… • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 13:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I mean it is better to use «изменение» for modifying and «удаление» for removing. Is the russian translation for minor changes enabled? dand0 (talk) 13:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't have translation for "Minor changes around interwiki links", so russian translation is not enabled yet for this sentence. • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 13:46, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I told you it in my first message in the conversation. dand0 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, sorry, it seems that I need to buy glasses... • ObelusPA2 d · FR Admin · 13:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Google Translate works well for short phrases, but not full sentence.  a20001017 Talk 06:06, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "Minor changes around interwiki links" translates to "Небольшие изменения возле интервики–ссылок". -- <b style=color:purple>Naista2002</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px">Talk Contribs </i> 08:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
