core creating backbone for wiki-editing tasks: they can be spawned on a cron-like schedule with config/schedule.py, in response to certain edits in config/watcher.py, or through IRC (not implemented yet - I'll need to figure out permissions); task files are in wiki/tasks/, and the wiki-editing tools (think very simplified pywikipedia) will be in wiki/tools/ 13 vuotta sitten

README.md

EarwigBot is a Python robot that edits Wikipedia.

History

Development began, based on the Pywikipedia framework, in early 2009. Approval for its fist task, a copyright violation detector, was carried out in May, and the bot has been running consistently ever since (with the exception of Jan/Feb 2011). It currently handles several ongoing tasks, ranging from statistics generation to category cleanup, and on-demand tasks such as WikiProject template tagging. Since it started running, the bot has made over 45,000 edits.

A project to rewrite it from scratch began in early April 2011, thus moving away from the Pywikipedia framework and allowing for less overall code, better integration between bot parts, and easier maintenance.
