Hello,
Sorry for bothering you with something I'll probably
get bashed about
for bringing up, but where can I find a bot for
/editing/ Wikipedia
articles? Some user has started creating articles
with the wrong format
on the Romanian Wikipedia, I don't have the proper
permissions to
perform SQL queries on it, and due to the lack of
regexp replace
functions in MySQL, even that would be pretty much
useless in the end.
What I really need is a PHP bot I can program to get
the current content
of some articles, perform some preg_replace's in
them and post them
back. Can anyone suggest a basis for such a bot?
Thanks,
Gutza
I don't think you can just find a template wikibot;
people usually program it themselves. Why don't you
just contact the creator of the bot on the romanian
Wikipedia and tell him to change how it works? (I
think) he should be able to upload onto existing pages
without much trouble, unless he wants to protect
against getting rid of other people's edits to the
articles.
