Uber and Über

Time out here, you'll have to make sure it doesn't affect things like external links. Same goes for images unless you make it so that it moves them to the proper namespace at the same time. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 15:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

It is all taken care of. :3 the wordFilter function wraps the regex inside more lookaround checks to see if it's not within a link. — Wind 15:22, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

To be more precise, the page's content is first filtered out of templates and links; then, filters are applied to this "clean" text, and then the templates and links are put back in. — Wind 15:25, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Regex

I was good at regex once:

Find:                                                             Replace:

\[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/:*([^][<>"\s]+) ([^]]+)\]          [[:$1|$2]]
\b(?<!-)crit(ical)?(s)?\b                                         Crit$1$2
\bcritical hit(s?)\b                                              Critical hit$1
\bmini[ -]?crit(ical)?(s)?\b                                      Mini-crit$1$2
\b[Ss]entry([ _])[Gg]un\b                                         Sentry$1Gun

All case sensitive. I have a bunch more, as far as I know they all work perfectly. -- Pilk _(talk) 22:28, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Nice! I believe Wind said we could add things ourselves, so you should whack them in yourself. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 22:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

It's really not that simple, running those would destroy things like file names that are still lowercase. That's why there's this wordFilter function to do it more cleanly and hopefully without recurring to a possibly too aggressive regex. As for wikipedia links, I am currently working on filtering links the same way words are filtered, so while the wikipedia case could be done with a regex, I'd rather wait until Seb26 replies to my message asking what cases should be handled exactly. — Wind 22:34, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

You can't make it ignore links/images/nowiki? -- Pilk _(talk) 22:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Of course, I'm just saying that running those regexes directly on pages would be harmful. The critical hits/sentry gun cases should be taken care of now, though~ — Wind 22:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Adding Maps filter

Gravelpit to Gravel Pit, Doublecross to Double Cross, Badwater to Badwater Basin, etc., excluding filenames? (in addition to capitalization of map names) -- Nineaxis 05:33, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

The bot is changing Gravel Pit to Gravelpit, rather than the reverse. I would fix it, but I have nfi how to do it without fucking things up, so. seb26 (talk) 11:39, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, the official names are Gravel Pit, Double Cross and Badwater Basin. Use these please. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 12:42, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Item infobox filters

If anyone is willing to watch over the diffs then just revert my edit. I disabled the filters because I didn't want to leave the bot running them overnight if it wasn't being checked on. seb26 [talk] 09:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Screenshots Images Category - Blacklisted?

I wonder why is the bot removing categories from files categorized in the "Category:Screenshot_images" category. There's nothing wrong about it, as I believe. :S ~Sonic 02:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Korean-specific word replacement request

Hi!

Recently, our members of STS decided to change classname Soldier in Korean from 솔져 to 솔저. So, it is necessary to replace every single word "솔져"(except quotation marks) with "솔저" in zhis wiki!

I wrote a chunk of code, referring other existing codes on Filters page; please review the following code and apply if it is correct:

addSafeFilter(
    dumbReplace(
        u'솔져', # from
        u'솔저' # to
    ), language='ko'
 )

Thanks! — Cyrus Hackford ^{(T / C)} // 02:43, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Have the changes been pushed to the game yet? If they're in STS, it's best to wait before doing such a massive replace. Also, there is a better solution: Replace them all by {{Class name|Soldier}}, which will show an auto-translated version of the class name "Soldier" as defined in {{dictionary/classes}}. Then, any edit to {{dictionary/classes}} will propagate to all pages in one shot~ — Wind 10:42, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Yeap, the change is now in effect in-game. Of course using that Dictionary wrapper is the best solution, but there are many "un-wrapped" texts out there. :( — Cyrus Hackford ^{(T / C)} // 11:34, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Well alright then, but I think it'd be better to use wordFilter instead of dumbReplace, as dumbReplace is a really, really dumb replace. For example, dumbReplace('hell', 'heaven') applied to the sentence Oh hello there would give Oh heaveno there. However, wordFilter only replaces words when they are whole words, so that hell in hello wouldn't be replaced. Would that work for Korean though? Are all words always separated with regular spaces or latin-like punctuation signs, such that wordFilter would identify them as such? — Wind 11:42, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Unfortunately, no. Korean grammar forces any nominative postpositions to be attached to prior nominative noun; so 솔져의, 솔져가, 솔져에게, 솔져는, 솔져를, and so on should all be changed as well. Therefore, dumbReplace is the very function we need to use. Thanks for your hearty help! — Cyrus Hackford ^{(T / C)} // 11:58, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Very well then, it's been added. Keep in mind that the bot doesn't actively crawl the wiki, it just runs over pages that get recently edited. If you want to force it to look at certain pages or categories of pages to speed up the process, you can add them here — Wind

Your gracious help will eventually crank up the general Korean wiki-readers' convenience in any way! Thank you again! — Cyrus Hackford ^{(T / C)} // 12:11, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Why, welcome :3 It's not every day that I get a request with already-provided code, as most people don't bother reading the documentation. By the way, next time ask me on IRC, it makes this kind of conversation much easier than with awkward wikicode. You should join it any time anyway, is a good place. Thanks~ — Wind 12:14, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

More Dutch filters

Could "officiëel" and "officieël" both be converted to "officieel" on the Dutch pages, because that is the correct spelling and it is sometimes wrong spelled. — Robin0van0der0vliet (talk | contributions) - 08:31, 7 October 2012 (PDT)

 Done — Wind 12:55, 7 October 2012 (PDT)

I forgot about converting "officiele" to "officiële" (an attributive adjective), which does need an diaeresis.

addSafeFilter( # Requested by Robin0van0der0vliet
    wordFilter(u'officieel', u'offici[eë][eë]l', keepcapitalization=True),
    wordFilter(u'officiële', u'offic[iï]ele', keepcapitalization=True),

And could you maybe add redirects for the Botkiller weapons, I mean redirecting "Diamond Botkiller Scattergun/nl" to "Scattergun/nl" etc, now only the English, Russian and Chinese version has this and this is too much work to do manual. — Robin0van0der0vliet (talk | contributions) - 12:01, 4 November 2012 (PST)

No, that's a one-off thing that would be best suited for a script if it had to be done. But does it have to be done at all? I'm not sure if those redirects are worth creating — Wind 12:07, 4 November 2012 (PST)

You added an filter double now. ;)

"tradeable" > "tradable"

Could this filter be added to the Common misspellings filter beneath "Natascha", since this filter only need to be applied to English pages?

wordFilter('tradable', 'tradeable', keepcapitalization=True)

Thanks! — Robin0van0der0vliet (talk | contributions) - 07:13, 17 November 2012 (PST)

That filter is already there under the Word aliases section. EDIT: I see you mean you actually want it English only. I don't think this could cause any damage if applied to other language pages, unless you believe otherwise? —Moussekateer·talk 07:36, 17 November 2012 (PST)

I think the most other languages don't use the word "tradable" nor "tradeable", so I think it is only needed on the English wiki. — Robin0van0der0vliet (talk | contributions) - 08:08, 17 November 2012 (PST)

Just made some fixes for you, that you can see in the diff. And yes you can force WindBOT to look through all the /hu pages by adding [[:Category:Main/hu]] to its request page. —Moussekateer·talk 05:05, 1 May 2013 (PDT)

Sorry but this is way too broad and will create lots of false positives. Do not use the bot for autotranslation, it will end in pain. Header names are probably fine because the == will make sure it only applies to header names — Wind 09:32, 1 May 2013 (PDT)

Nope, i didn't wanted fot that (and if i understood the documentations right, the dumpReplace would be the right thing to mess with the wiki), even it would be kinda easier, I admit ^^.

So let the already existing stuff as it is and let the bot edit only the new texts would be the wiser idea? Or stripping the list to your mentoined headers only then?

Monte / talk 15:23, 1 May 2013 (PDT)

dumbReplace is dumb, but that doesn't mean wordFilter is a lot smarter. For example, the string Soldier's Slope Scopers would still get changed to Katona's Slope Scopers which is worse than the original. I added the header ones — Wind 17:33, 1 May 2013 (PDT)

oh, didn't realized that at all, while i was assuming that while it would correct the single words, the item names would be not touched.. dumb me -.-

Gameid windbot filter

Could you make the list publicly editable (like the steamid list) so that users could add new games rather than requiring to edit a protected page? Thanks. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 15:23, 8 November 2014 (PST)

I'll do it if people keep bugging me about it. Right now the buggingness level is low enough such that isn't worth the trouble of adding code to do this. Maybe that's because Mousse has been getting all of the pokes though... — Wind 23:13, 8 November 2014 (PST)

"Cloak"

I see a conflict here. In semantic/item names, "Cloak" is in the "exceptions" that "should not count as capitalized weapon names", as it's "Too common to be reliably replaced". But later in semantic/other capitalized words, "Cloak" is in the list of words to always cap. The latter overrides the former, so "cloak" gets capped to "Cloak". What's the deal?

Giftability and Item Infobox Template

the documentation for Template:Item Infobox states that the gift parameter is now deprecated, since most items that can be tradable are also giftable, and vice versa. there are like three exceptions, all of which are handled by the template itself. thing is, the bot seems to think that all item infoboxes need the gift parameter, and it adds it back if it's removed. I just think it should stop doing this. Kestrelguy (talk) 16:23, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Archiving Talk Pages

yes, I'm making a new request less than ten minutes later. whatever. Help:Archiving says that talk pages should be archived after about ten subjects. that is... most definitely not a rule the wiki abides by very well. presumably, this is because people forget and/or it's somewhat tedious. I think the bot could be made to archive talk pages on its own, though this may be a bit complicated to accomplish−I'm not sure. perhaps it trawls talk pages and, like, if the first ten or more sections haven't been replied to in more than a year, it archives those sections?
