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

Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: Adds {{Moved from Japanese Wikipedia}} to files. This only works if the file was imported from Japanese Wikipedia not via FileImporter and when speedy deletion of the original file is requested. Since this is part of a task on Japanese Wikipedia, it does not work on Commons alone.

Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Periodic, currently twice a day

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): 12 edits per min or less

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Y

Programming language(s): Python (using Pywikibot and MWParserFromHell)

The purpose of this task is to help speedy deletion in Japanese Wikipedia. 本日晴天 (talk) 01:44, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I for one am very happy! Some days ago I made a question at Bureaucrats' noticeboard about admin flag for my bot. The problem is that about 13k files have been moved from ja.wiki to Commons and many of them were moved with bad information and the wrong license.
It is a huge task to clean that mess up and if this bot works it will be a very big help. I think it will because 本日晴天 have been using the bot on ja.wiki for some time (it has permission to delete files there) and it works very well.
Question: Can the bot check if the licenses are the same on ja.wiki and Commons and if not update the license on Commons? Or perhaps add the file to a list somewhere with a note that license may be wrong? --MGA73 (talk) 12:54, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Krd: Currently, the bot has edited about 80 files. There was a mistake in some argument of the template at the beginning, but I manually reverted and fixed the bug.
@MGA73: I think it is possible to check equality of license of files on Wikipedia and Commons by my bot. Please let me know if there are any points to note (e.g. {{GFDL}} was moved to {{GFDL-ja}} on last year in Japanese Wikipedia). --本日晴天 (talk) 09:10, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've set the bot flag now for continuous test. If nothing else arises within a few days, I think this can be approved. --Krd 09:48, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. --Krd 16:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
