Hello,
I had an idea where the computer makes (invents) the edits and the
human then approves them. The edits would technically be made on the
user's account (making the edit their responsibility) but the summary
would link to, say, [[User:Templatefixer]], which would link to a
website. The website would have a list (in a database) of articles to
be corrected (taken from a DB dump) and whenever somebody committed
one of these edits it would cross it off the list.
I noticed that if I don't send wpEditToken a preview is shown instead
of the edit being committed.
I would like to suggest that for 1.5 instead of the preview being
shown, the diff is shown, like pressing the "Show changes" button.
With this modification, I think I could make a PHP script for this,
with a top frame controlling things (on an external website) and the
main frame always showing something on Wikipedia. I have a rough idea
of the user interface.
This could be used for all those cases where a computer can create
suggestions but overall creates too many false positives. IMO this
could work very well to semi-automate some of the more tedious work,
such as stub sorting (where the article is shown and a list of stub
templates, but no physical typing is required) and fixing simple
punctuation errors.
Yours,
