Talk pages

You shouldn't be talking on talk pages. Leave that to your master WindPower. -- Pilk _(talk) 22:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Loops

WindBOT loops over the page again if you have to fix a bad edit. -- Pilk _(talk) 03:17, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? You mean it re-applies filters if you undo them? That is the desired behavior. If the filter isn't working correctly, then the filter should be fixed; otherwise, if the filter does work correctly but shouldn't be applied on a certain page for some particular reason, then blacklist the page — Wind 18:42, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Diacrits change

Hello,

Please add a new filter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_alphabet#Comma-below_.28.C8.99_and_.C8.9B.29_versus_cedilla_.28.C5.9F_and_.C5.A3.29

There are 2 variants of ş. This one is wrong. See on wikipedia page the correct one and please do the changes.

Thanks

-- Nightbox _{(t s)} 20:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

it's done, tell me if this is OK — Wind 05:35, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's working well. Thanks <3 -- Nightbox _{(t s)} 10:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC) Read below now :D

Achievements translating

Can you translate achievements using this bot ? If yes i will send you tf_romanian.txt so would be much easier than manual translation. -- Nightbox _{(t s)} 10:41, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

How would it work? Just replace English achievements titles with Romanian ones? I'm pretty sure you could do that with AWB — Wind 14:17, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Rollbacks

You again. Ruining my rollbacks. I should have you decommissioned for your impertinence.  – Smashman _(talk) 10:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Team names in TFC

Your bot seems to think that the TFC team names are "RED", and "BLU", when they, in fact, are "Red" and "Blue". Avanti (Classic) and Dustbowl (Classic) got reverted because of this. Just wanted to make you know. Ond kaja 15:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I was fearing this would happen... I'll add a way to specify which filters are applied to Classic/Non-classic pages later, right now I will disable the team spelling filter. — Wind 15:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Peculiar behavior

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Flame_Thrower/ro&redirect=no

I'm a little confused by WindBOT's behavior - it continues to insist on making this page redirect to a page that is not only improperly titled, but also redundantly language-tagged. If the page it was linking to even existed, it would be a double redirect at that. It's kinda humorous when I think about it, really. It would be like if "Hat/fr" (which would ideally redirect to "Hats/fr") was consistently being strongarmed into redirecting to "Chapeaux/fr".

Either way, this could use some work yeah, but at the same time I'm genuinely curious as to what is causing this behavior. (: Gerk 10:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Spell Checking

Maybe this isn't the right way to go about this, but WindBot doesn't seem to like "Sascha" as much as "Sasha." According to the newest tf2 blog update, it's spelt "SasCha," with a C. So... yeah. The bot should stay out of this. --Exiggah 19:45, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The blog has been known to make mistakes and I believe Robin confirmed as much in a recent email I saw. Sasha has been used much more often than Sascha. Moussekateer 19:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

At least someone knew what was up, thanks for the confirmation. --Exiggah 19:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Strange spacing edit

This edit looks like a bug, putting extra spacing at the beginning of one parameter line while ignoring the others. Toomai Glittershine 17:29, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Nope, not a bug; the item backpack attributes (the little brown box at the bottom) should be indented by 2 spaces for clarity (item-description, item attributes, etc.) — Wind 17:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect capitalization

Hello, I just recently edited the Grenadier's Softcap page, and the edit I made involved the sentence "A grenadier is a soldier who specializes in handling grenades and other explosives." The bot seems to think that the word "soldier" should be capitalized, even though the sentence is referring to a soldier, instead of the Soldier. I'm not sure how to fix this, could you look into it when you get the chance? Siriusd 01:14, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Fixed, see {{botignore}} — Wind 01:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Weapon Combination Names

Hey, were you the one who named the rest of the weapon combinations in the Community Strategy pages of all classes? Because if it's you, I want to thank you for continuing my work. I ran out of ideas after editing Demoman's Community Strategy page, it's good you named the rest. Also, I round up the remaining weapon combinations so now all of those combinations are named. Thanks again!

-TheDecepticonDude 03:42, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Storyline

On Storyline#The Mann Family, it (logically) filtered the names of Gravel Pit and Dustbowl, but in the sentence's context, capitalization wouldn't make much sense. However, I don't want to blacklist the page, since there are likely many other reasons the bot would need to go there. Is it possible to blacklist just that section, or to set up some other way to have it avoid that? (Btw, here is the specific edit, if it helps.) —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 03:18, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Fixed — Wind 03:28, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Uh, apparently not. Although it was funny to see you edit warring with your own bot. XD —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 21:46, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I hope I fixed it this time... — Wind 22:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Lol, that seems to have worked. Thanks for actually putting up with all this. —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 03:27, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Direct Hit

Found one instance of the problem on Flare Gun, and thought it would likely appear elsewhere: the phrase "direct hit" seems common enough that it probably shouldn't autocapitalize it. Of course, it actually referring to the weapon is probably seen far more often than just as a description, but either way... —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 17:33, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Nah, is fine as it is :3 Keep adding them botignore~ — Wind 20:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Weapon Demonstration

I've noticed that on some pages, the bot has been breaking the videos by deleting the first/only parameter in the template.

I've reverted a few, but it might be better to take a look at why it's doing it. (Seems like the bot and I haven't been getting along lately...xvx) —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 04:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

seb is already on it. Let the bot remove them. — Wind 04:23, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Fine, but I don't see why I'd ever agree to let a bot ruin pages... —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 04:37, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

It's all fixed now :p —Moussekateer·talk 04:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I think not - Übersaw is still broken, and likely others. —烏Γ ^{(kaw at me)}, 05:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

As a Crafting Ingredient

Hey, I've noticed that in many of the weapons' pages, the 'Crafting' in the heading == As a Crafting Ingredient == is linked to the crafting article.

However, in the Style Guide it says they shouldn't be linked. Is this something the Bot can be made to fix? / Would this be the right place to post this? If not, I could do it manually. Thanks, - LingoSalad _(talk) 19:10, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Stickybombs

Is there any reason in particulars that this bot is capitalising stickybomb/stickybombs? (Just found it odd, since, say, 'flares' or 'rockets' isn't capitalised.) Hostile Companion Cube ^Roar 23:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I... don't really know why I added it D: Someone requested it and I added it. I'll disable it for now — Wind 23:19, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Norwegian Name Directs

Hey WindBOT, I have gone through the hats on the norwegian articles and discovered that you have been applied filters for most of them. What does this mean? The Noble Scout _(T/C) 09:27, 30 March 2011

Can you give links to such changes? :o — Wind 04:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Here is one where its says by the name with WindBOT. The Noble Scout _(T/C) 09:49, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, look at the diff; it just replaced the optf2 link in the sidebar by the {{Backpack Item Link}} template — Wind 17:25, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah! Ok, then i know that so i dont have to be very conserned about that. You didn't translate that description part too, eh? The Noble Scout _(T/C) 20:05, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Class names in TF classic games

I'm traslating TFC an QWTF's articles, and they have classes names translated into spanish, but when I edit one page and put "Francotirador" and "Ingeniero", that bot changed into "Sniper" and "Engineer". This in TF2 articles is a good change, but not in these articles. Can someone fix this? Jag Gentleman 13:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Put {{botignore}} around it, should be ok~ — Wind 18:27, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Jag Gentleman 18:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Bonk-helm

Would it be possible for WindBOT to stop changing Bonk-helm to Bonk Helm on the Dutch pages? Bonk-helm is the official Dutch translation in the localization files. Or am I going to have to add the botignore thing every time when I write the name? Hefaistus - talk 16:20, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Done~ — Wind 16:39, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Russian typographic

Hi, can you add filter to fix russian typography?

• Filter should replace "" '' with «». And slashes inside «» with „“
• For example, filter will replace "Кавычки 'елочки'" with «Кавычки „елочки“».
• Here's regexp which I use ro replace "" with «»: "([^"]+)" ==> «\1»

Thanks,

Daniil

P.S. Sorry for my English. --Daniil 11:34, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

I think this will be a problem because not always need to change--Nik9990 Talk | Cont 11:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Not always? Are you sure? [1], [2][3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], etc, etc (almost every page). I can edit all this pages myself if it so difficult to add new filter. Daniil 12:09, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

That's a good idea actually, I think more languages than just Russian may benefit from this. In French for example, this would work too, except it needs extra spacing on all sides of the quotation marks. I'll do it in Russian only for now though~ Please watch over the bot in the first few days to make sure it doesn't replace anything that it shouldn't replace. For example this shouldn't happen (see the <ref name=""/>, those quotes should definitely not change. this is better, I think) — Wind 01:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I'll watch over it. Also, I've ported "Wikify" script from ru wikipedia and it works fine (It's written in JavaScript and fully client-side). It helps to edit russian articles (makes right quotes, slashes, spaces, etc.). Maybe I'll modify this script for different languages and we make it official? Here it is: User:Daniil/wikify.js. Here is example of how it's warking [9]. By the way, it is button Daniil 03:38, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Bug 1. Bot replaced double quotes inside «»-quotes with „„““ (there: "''Верховный Совет''"). But it shouldn't, because double quotes is part of wiki-syntax. Daniil 04:10, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

fix'd — Wind 05:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

[10] [11] Bot is replacing quotation marks that are apart of wikisyntax (table syntax, e.g. {| class="wikitable"). seb26 08:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Wrong hat, buddy

On the first trivia in the Tam O' Shanter article, it keeps changing 'Tam o' Shanter' to 'Tam O' Shanter', despite the real hat this is based on being lowercase in the middle. Please, make it stop, because the trivia it keeps editing is referring to the real hat. Shane Alvarado 19:23, 2 July 2011 (PDT)

 Done — Wind 19:29, 2 July 2011 (PDT)

So that's how you do that? Thanks, I wish I knew this earlier. Shane Alvarado 19:40, 2 July 2011 (PDT)

Crushing Images

May I do them too? I tried doing it with another image without posting it and I reduced the image pretty well. The transparency and pixels were intact when I reduced it with photoshop. --That Furry Fan 17:49, 5 July 2011 (PDT)

Can you upload (not on the wiki, on an external image host) a crushed version of an image, and the corresponding version of the same image but crushed by WindBOT? — Wind 18:57, 5 July 2011 (PDT)

Oh shoot, I just realized that I was doing it wrong. In the preview window of the "Save for Web and Devices" it says 1.4MB and the 'crushed' version says 269.2KB when the crushed one by WinBOT is 256KB. The file I used was the Scout Milkman Image. I guess I got some things to figure out. :( --That Furry Fan 07:14, 6 July 2011 (PDT)

Actualización Über

Hi, I want to ask if you can make the bot to change "SuperActualización" to "Actualización Über". The first one was invented from Ryo and now the newcomers translate the Über Update wrong, because Dio and BiBi acorded to call it Actualización Über, but Ryo never does the thing like we accord. If you can't I can change that one by one, but is more confortable with the bot. Jag Gentleman 00:10, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

 Done but keep in mind that the bot doesn't search for stuff, it only replaces stuff on pages that go through the RC feed. If you want to force it to go over a certain page, you'll have to poot it on User:WindBOT/PageRequests~ — Wind 00:17, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Thanks Wind. Jag Gentleman 01:51, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

PT-BR

 Boost -> Bônus
 Buff -> Bônus (EXCEPT FOR ITEM NAMES SUCH AS BUFF BANNER)
 Bug -> Defeito
 Bugs -> Defeitos

Crushing Images part 2

What program do you use? I still want to crush PNG files and I can't figure out how you do it. I browsed the internet for a solution and no luck. --That Furry Fan 21:27, 14 August 2011 (PDT)

Google "png crush" and you'll find it :3 — Wind 21:40, 14 August 2011 (PDT)

"Variaciones de Colores" to "Variaciones de Color"

Hi, can you change "Variaciones de Colores" to "Variaciones de Color" in spanish changes of the bot please? Jag Gentleman 07:34, 16 August 2011 (PDT)

Extra Bullets

Whenever you type:

*Text1

**Text2

instead of:

*Text1
**Text2

you get two bullets for the second text (Text2). The first one looks like this:

• Text1

• • Text2

while the second one looks like this:

• Text1
  • Text2

Since this is usually unintentional, should there be a filter that removes extra lines in between bullets? Or, as that kind of filter sounds pretty hard to write, simply make it so that there is always only one dot? -Rocket Ship BBQ 21:50, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

That's just how wikicode works, I'm not really sure it's a wise idea to force all lists to be joined together like this; my guess is that whoever made the mistake doesn't really understand lists or didn't use Show preview. At any rate, I don't think lists-in-lists are used much on the Wiki at all in the main namespace — Wind 22:01, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

List of item attributes

It deleted all attributes after 32nd one. Repair this bot please. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kemerover (talk) • (contribs)

Filter request for pt-br

Class Cards

I would like to ask why you replaced my uploaded images with an exact copy? --ScoutKast 00:28, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

It was "crushed". I think WindBot does that automatically to reduce the file size a bit. Rolandius 00:38, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

What the hell does "crushed" mean? --ScoutKast 00:42, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

Optimized as in lower file size, without removing any quality. It helps bandwidth/server loads if people have to load a smaller file. - nixshadow (t|c) 01:07, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

Ok, sorry. I thought he was being a dick for no reason. --ScoutKast 01:09, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

Should probably inform you WindBOT isn't a human. His actions are automated, That's why he's Wind "bot" - nixshadow (t|c) 01:12, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

HOLY SH*T!!! I DIDN"T REALISE (No Sarcasm Included) --ScoutKast 01:32, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

That "No Sarcasm Included" seemed a bit sarcastic. Were you saying everything but that was not sarcasm? which in a loop means the first part was sarcasm. - nixshadow (t|c) 01:34, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. I though "he" called himself WindBOT because he was making fun of the term AimBOT or something, this whole time I thought he was a real person and he owned a Wiki Cap and everything. --ScoutKast 01:38, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

Know this ScoutKast that WindBOT is just a bot who ridirects, fix, crushes and edit automaticly. Its only purpose is to maintain balance on the Wiki with the rest of the BOTs. The list of BOTs is:

PilkBOT (administrator – inactive) (operated by Pilk)

OH FUCK dis is bad. Gonna need to find all the previously-beta-but-not-anymore links now D: — Wind 17:28, 22 January 2012 (PST)

Fixed, but obviously now there is still the issue of those that have already suffered this fate :( Gotta find them and revert them. Not sure how best to do that. Probably better to undo every single windbot edit that says "patchNameLinkFilter", and it'll re-apply it correctly on he next run — Wind 17:33, 22 January 2012 (PST)

That certainly sounds easier than undoing every single one! I'd have offered to help but... I'm going to bed XD » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 17:36, 22 January 2012 (PST)

List has been made — Wind 18:18, 22 January 2012 (PST)

Is that a list of edits that have been amended, or that need to be undone? If so I can help out a bit later tonight. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 08:32, 24 January 2012 (PST)

It's a list of edits that may still need to be amended; the page was a lot larger than that initially, check the history~ — Wind 08:40, 24 January 2012 (PST)

Dutch Wiki request

I was wondering if WindBOT could change all the words 'Updategeschiedenis' to 'Updateverleden'? A few of us Dutch translators have discussed about it and we came to the conclusion that that would be better translation for all intends and purposes. Right now there is quite a lot of inconsistency on the Dutch wiki since some of us have used Updategeschiedenis (including me) and someone else has used Updateverleden. Warlike 05:44, 25 January 2012 (PST)

On that note, can WindBOT also correct 'Gallerij' into 'Galerij' on the Dutch Wiki? It is a pretty common mistake and it's spread all over the place. -- Hefaistus - talk 06:14, 25 January 2012 (PST)

 Done. Just note that WindBOT will not update pages unless they are edited once the filters are added or the pages are added to WindBOT's list of requests.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 06:20, 25 January 2012 (PST)

I also forgot to mention that the majority of the native Dutch speakers are not really aware of the rules concerning spacebar use, so for that reason, can someone add that 'Update geschiedenis' and 'Update verleden' are auto-fixed to 'Updateverleden' as well? Thanks. -- Hefaistus - talk 15:16, 4 February 2012 (PST)

 Done — Wind 13:54, 5 February 2012 (PST)

List of community-contributed items/ru

Hello to bot and to its owner :) Can you disable patchNameLinkFilter (Review RC#933114) on this page: List of community-contributed items/ru? This edit looks bad in russian :( --Askarmuk 08:13, 15 February 2012 (PST)

How exactly does it look bad? Can you give an english equivalent? — Wind 14:17, 15 February 2012 (PST)

If you speak russian you can see an examples here:

• Второй набор пользовательского контента вышел Обновление от 20 мая 2010
• Обновление вышло Обновление от 8 июля 2010
• Это обновление вышло Обновление от 7 апреля 2011

All of that looks bad for russian native-speakers. And there is no english equivalent because there is no grammatical case in English for word "Patch". I'll be very happy if the bot will edit patch link only in "Update history" section ("Предыдущие изменения" in russian). Thanks! :) --Askarmuk 00:33, 16 February 2012 (PST)

Well templates are more useful than regular text links. If after bot's work it looks ridiculous, just delete some words to make it look better, like Это обновление вышло Обновление от 7 апреля 2011 into Этот набор вошел в Обновление от 7 апреля 2011. Let me try to fix that. There. Check it out! Limie Pie 01:01, 16 February 2012 (PST)

Hmmm maybe but now we must check bot's edits to reedit the text... I think this adds additional unnecessary job and it's better to use {{patch name}} only in "Update history" section (at least for russian - because of grammatical case). --Askarmuk 01:06, 16 February 2012 (PST)

Unnecessary job? Well, I am ready to it then. But remember, that bot's job is to save space on servers and it does his job very well Limie Pie 01:12, 16 February 2012 (PST)

The bot does not save server space, since every version of every page is kept. If anything, the bot adds stuff; things are never deleted on a wiki. Anyway, for the patch links, I added a new parameter date=true to {{patch name}} that will make the link still go to the patch, but the label will say only the date. It doesn't have a russian format yet; edit common_strings to put a russian date format (key patch-date-fmt) — Wind 11:15, 16 February 2012 (PST)

Thanks. Translated ;) Limie Pie 11:31, 16 February 2012 (PST)

Automatic {{Item link}} and {{Item name}}

Just wondering if you could somehow make WindBOT use dark witchcraft like this one to turn item names, linked or not, in dictionary templates. This would certainly help when localization files are added/updated.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 12:56, 29 February 2012 (PST)

The patch link filter is very, very specific (only works on links, only if links are internal, only if they link to a patch page, and only if their label contains the day a number and the year number of the patch it links to), and despite all of those precautions, it has caused a lot of wrongs and a lot of reverts necessary to get it straight. Doing the same thing for item names would cause a whole ton more of work, a ton more of false positives and requiring to work around the bot and sprinkling botignore's around, for little purpose.

tl;dr: No, too much work and grief for both bots and humans, for minimal benefit — Wind 13:02, 29 February 2012 (PST)
