Operator: Colazivi (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought:

  • Update a couple of files created by myself. At the moment updating these images is done manually which is pretty tedious. The Bot is NOT supposed to edit any pages or files that were not initially authored by me.
  • Most updates are done once a day to reflect updates of the files' sources.

Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic unsupervised

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): daily

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): Pywikibot defaults. At the moment less than 10 files are updated daily, so the impact should be absolutely negligible, even if the number of files should increase in the future.

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): N

Programming language(s): pywikibot + custom shell + python wrappers. Updating the local files according to the sources' updates is done by a little self-made tool written in C++.

  • There's no policy requirement for a bot flag with small volume changes to your own files. You can go ahead and keep on using ColaziviBot without needing a flag for this type of activity. -- (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
