Dear All,
We work with pages-meta-history files.
Can robots (among the editors)
be identified by their names or any other properties?
Is there a list of known robots?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=bot
Or using the API:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&augrou…
The revisions themselves don't store bot edits (bug 11181).
Moreover, robots usually have the substring 'bot' 'Bot' or 'BOT'
in
their name.
Are there different types of robots?
Yes. Most bots do interwiki maintenance, but others fix typos, change
templates, remove deleted images, archive discussions, set sandboxes
with a predefined text, and even revert users based on heuristics.
Thanks.
Happy Holidays
Good Christmas Eve
