The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Lydia is saying that we can run bots, and you've had unanimous approval for some time and have already done a successful test run. Please make sure that, when they are formalized, you bot meets compliance with the interwiki link import standards. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
BeneBot* edit
- Operator: User:Bene*
- Task: creating and completing items automatically
Hi, I am Bene* and I would like to create items automatically and also complete existing items. I will only depend on existing interwikilinks and import them into Wikidata. If you want, I can do some test edits before. If you have any questions feel free to ask me what you want to know. --Bene* (talk) 19:32, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Please run around 20 test edits so that we can see it works properly. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have made some edits. Hope you like it :-) --Bene* (talk) 14:56, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe you could add "wiki" to comment of edits? Let say "Bot: wiki adding: de". What are you going to do in case of existing item or wiki conflict? Zanka (talk) 21:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If there is a conflict, the bot will do nothing but telling about the conflict so that it can be solved manually. I don't understand your questoin about the comment. In the moment it is for instance
Bot: adding de, en, fr
. Do you only want to haveBot: wiki adding de, en, fr
That would be no problem but I do not understand what is better at this solution. I think it's clear that wikilinks are added. --Bene* (talk) 21:52, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]- If there are few languages and you are experienced user than it is clear. But if it is only
Bot: adding de
, who knows maybe your bot adds a label or a description. Zanka (talk) 22:23, 8 November 2012 (UTC))[reply]- Ok, now I understand. I will change the summary so that it is better to undestand. --Bene* (talk) 14:48, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Bene*: Have you seen meta:Interwiki conflicts? If not, then please read it.--Snaevar (talk) 23:37, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've read it but I don't think it will be such a big problem because we are just importing existing interwikilinks. As long as they aren't used in the Wikipedias they will have no effect there. But I'm going to take care of it. --Bene* (talk) 14:48, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support we can look for errors while bots create items. --CENNOXX (talk) 23:18, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Support --Yair rand (talk) 23:20, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I ran my pywikipedabot trough the interwiki links of Q16461 on wikipedia (that Benebot created), and it found a interwiki conflict. Details: Sq and uk link to hr (those are interwiki prefixes, btw.). The interwiki links on hr:Nanaimo Indijanci are not the same ones as on the other projects. So, we got two links for en and de wikipedia.--Snaevar (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do not know why the bot didn't see that but I will report it at Wikidata:Report interwiki conflicts. I will fix that bug.
- Question Should the bot report interwikiconflicts automatically? --Bene* (talk) 22:16, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Question Why do you not add labels? Merlissimo (talk) 11:13, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Support after improvements discussed below. Merlissimo (talk)
- How do you add the labels? I thought it wouldn't be enought to just remove the brackets. If that would be ok, I could add labels of course. --Bene* (talk) 11:33, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Some wikis are using brackets, some commas. I am removing regex " ([\)]*)$" or everything after ", " (note the space in both cases). That should fit in most cases. I am also using the displaytitle instead of the page title if available. In these cases you have to additional remove xml tags "<i>","<b>","<u>","<sub>","<sup>" (and the closing variants) and italic and bold wiki syntax ("''","'''") Merlissimo (talk) 12:22, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the information. I will implement this. --Bene* (talk) 12:29, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not a good idea to remove everything after comma. It really depends on wiki and should be discussed with people who knows rules of specific wiki. In ruwiki most of the names separated by comma (not "First Middle Last" as usual but "Last, First Middle") and you'll do complete mess using this rule. Plus some articles contain a comma as a part of name (about books, usually). Zanka (talk) 12:56, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, I think, this isn't the right place to discuss that. I will only remove the brackets and wait for a consensus in that discussion. --Bene* (talk) 13:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pause proceedings please Denny Vrandecic is saying that they don't want bots creating items yet, because we're still looking for errors. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:05, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
