Projekt:Botacademy 2015/Programme

Preparation

• Installing python and pywikibot (see this extra info if you are running Windows)
• If you are on Windows and think you might be interested in running AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) then please install this as well.

  Note: If you are on Mac/Linux, and brave, you can also try installing AWB but it is a more complicated process which is not guaranteed to work (see instructions).

Sunday 29

Thoughts and questions from Saturday.

Discuss in smaller groups (2-3 people)

Think of a (simple) bot project you would like to do and start looking at how you would attack the problem.

Which resources are available, what can/can’t a bot do.

• Back-up/extra ideas:
  • Simple: www.oldschool.com have changed their name to www.newschool.org and all of the existing source links must be repaired.
  • Find all pages in both Category:BotMakers and Category:People of Sweden and put them in Category:BotMakers of Sweden.
  • Find all Wikidata objects with the property: P25 (mother) and add P40 (child of) to the target, if not already present.

• 13:00 — Lunch
• 14:00 — Reflection/Conclusions
• 15:00 — Discussion about any emerged questions
• 16:00 — Homework and badges
  • Claim Badge: http://www.badgecraft.eu/en/claim
  • An exercise to do at home (before December 21) . Perform at least 25 productive bot edits to Wikimedia projects. Send me proof (logs), together with a description of what you did and how.
