Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Maref (marefa) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: A bot to import missing images

Initial Comment: I have hundreds of articles with missing images. I'm looking for an existing bot that will scan the articles for missing images, then import these images.

Is there such a bot? If not, are there bots that can hanle the subtasks of it: (1) Scan articles and generate a list of missing images. (2) import images in a list.

If this is the wrong place to post the question/request, please guide to the write place.

I tried to tweak Missing_Images tool. The problem with it is that it deals with the same database for both the origin project and the destination project. While in my case I need to import images from remote Wikipedia DB into my local (non-wikipedia) MediaWiki installation.

Is this the right forum for asking the question?

I'm willing to contract this job, suggestions will be appreciated.

Sounds good, this bot works the same with Missing images (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/missing_images.php). If the same article in other language have image, the bot ask if it can put image in local wiki.
