Hi, Merrilee,
Thanks so much for installing the RAMP editor and trying it out! Yes, I think it would be great to have a walkthrough of the tool at the SAA Wikipedia editing session.
And I'm glad to hear we're in such good company in the upcoming Code4Lib issue. Apropos the VIAFBot, I've noticed that Wikipedia "Authority control" templates with VIAF IDs are now being automatically expanded to display WorldCat Identities, LCCN, and other identifiers when available. That's very cool.
Regarding the RAMP editor, we actually made a few minor bug fixes yesterday (e.g., for improved Captcha handling when submitting an article to Wikipedia--this is pretty rare, but it does occur sometimes). The attached files contain the updates (also available on the RAMP GitHub repohttps://github.com/UMiamiLibraries/RAMP ):
Save in 'script' folder: -- editor.js -- wikiator.js
Save in top-level 'RAMP' folder: -- new_eac.php
Also, you may notice some University-of-Miami-specific info or generic "ABC" data at some places in the markup. Most of this can be customized by editing the 'inst_info.php' file in the 'conf' folder; there are also two instances where you'd need to edit 'eac2wiki.xsl' (line 497) and 'eac2wikiParams.xsl' (line 30) in the 'xsl' folder.
Just let me know if you have any questions!
Best, Tim

Hi Tim,****
A colleague helped get this up and running and I’m playing with RAMP on the Wiki markup side using some ArchiveGrid finding aids as fodder. He reports it was easy to get up and running. I don’t have enough expertise to comment on the EAC-CPF side, but hope to get a colleague to take a look at that. I love all the use of the identifiers. I know that there is a Wikipedia editing session that’s been proposed for SAA next year in DC and if that’s accepted, I think a walkthrough of this tool would be very useful as a component of that.****
I look forward to seeing your article in Code4Lib – we have two articles from OCLC Research in that issue, one on VIAFBot and the other on an analysis of EAD in ArchiveGrid, so this will be a great issue for the A in GLAM!****
Best,****
