Task/s: add metadata from mangadex to manga with Mangadex manga ID

Code: not yet implemented

Function details: many manga items have a mangadex id specified, but not the id for other sites (MangaUpdates, Kitsu, AniList). however, this data exists on mangadex, so this bot would simply copy over the data.

the initial scope is quite small, only focusing on ID tags. --Binarycat64 (talk) 18:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm concerned you are too inexperienced with wikidata (<500 edits) to be granted bot permissions. At the very least I'm going to need to see some test edits. BrokenSegue (talk) 18:39, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can certainly provide test edits if that's your concern. I will also adjust my code according to any reasonable concerns that are raised.

I'll start working on the code, seeing as there are no objections to the goal of the bot.

Is there a certain way i should do test edits? I can test most of the functionality on sandbox items, but I need a query endpoint to test the functionality of finding items to update, and test.wikidata.org doesn't seem to provide that. Binarycat64 (talk) 16:23, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it is ok to make a small number of test edits on main wikidata using the bot account before approval. just make sure it is relatively few at low speed. BrokenSegue (talk) 06:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please, do so, let your bot make some test edits. --Lymantria (talk) 15:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I implemented something very similar last year: https://github.com/PythonCoderAS/wikidata-anime-import

I'll take some time and revive the codebase, as I've taken an extended break but am ready to come back again. RPI2026F1 (talk) 16:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
